Drove my car to LAX and left for 3 days. When I returned early morning on the third day, computer system said that some systems had shut down due to low battery. I was able to start it and after my 2 hr. drive home it charged up. Brakes feel grabby with a harder than normal stop. I noticed on my first trip that I had to hold counter clock wise pressure on the steering wheel. When I let go of the wheel, car drifts right. Tried this on various parts of the road. Took it in and they tried to tell me that most cars do that. My Mercedes never did. So now its in the shop and they cant find the problem. I'm driving a loaner car...going on a week. As for the look of the car, its nothing special.

I just love this car! This is my second BMW, The style, comfort and performance is something I can not put into words. The technology is a little complicated, I think it is a little over the top.

Timing System Needs Recall

At just over 60k miles, BOTH timing guide rails inside my F10 engine shattered. It was a devastating repair cost, but luckily I was able to manage it without damaging the engine any further. Engine had to be pulled apart to remove all the plastic shards. Really hoping BMW will be issuing a recall on this flawed system. Beyond that, the car is wonderful. Love the comfort and feel of the vehicle.

I wasn't a mile from the dealership when the car malfunctioned. I bought it eight days ago and they are replacing the turbo. While I'm glad the problem revealed itself as soon as i drove off. I am not pleased that the car was on the lot for sale. For the very short time I've had driving the car. I was pleased with the feel. This will be my only BMW purchase. Back to Infiniti for my next car.

Traded my 2011 328i for the 2013 528i, and I love it! The interior is extremely nice and the idrive system is great. There are some very high tech features that took me some time to get used to. Although the exterior is a bit conservative, there something about it that gives it a classy look to it. I am very happy with the overall performance of this car. The ride is a lot quieter and smoother. I'm very pleased and know I made the right decision.
