NO turbo for me! 2011 528i with straight 6 3.0. Not fast but fast enough for me.

I was hoping to hear about the 535d. Hope this is some content we can get in the future! Thanks for the vid

I bought a 2015 535i a few years ago and sold it because it was a luxe model. This weekend I picked up a 2016 535i with all of the M Sport bits. BTW, the HPFP was re-engineered in 2014 so they became less problematic.

I've also learned about the fuel pump control module, not sure about the other models but it's common on the 535i

Great video. Jusy picked up a 2012 528i that is very hard to find videos on. Only one I seem to find are the'11 straight 6 year. So it's nice to know common issues. Luckily mine has been heavily maintained and seems like with steady maintenance I can enjoy this car for years. Just always wish it was manual.

[ManuLiRS]

Thanks for so comprehensive information!!

Man I literally just bought a 15 535i m sport with 120k and 24 hours of owning it the motor started knocking smh. Luckily the car was covered with a 30 day warranty from the dealer so it’s currently getting a certified motor put in with 64k. Im glad you made this video so I can make sure the new motor is up kept because clearly the previous owner did not take care of it

A fact is that the least problematic engine in the F01-model is the 2011 6 cylinder non-turbo engine

Very good video with organized content

[carlosyo]

These cars in general no matter what model are sensitive but bmw is for sure all units to have

[ribblets]

Just scared me from getting a 550ix 😅😅 She just needs some upgrades 🥺

[albertjackson]

I found this channel and love it just picked up a 13 528i xdrive I love the car got some timing noises and just gotta do some research but loving the car. Just wondering where to find aftermarket parts for it

[RizzoUnited]

After I replace those things, in my 535i xdive Msport, what would be a few very safe, simple upgrades to make just a little more torque/wheel HP. Like 50 each for example? Thanks man, great video!

[mjuddeci]

I’ve had my 14 f10 m5 for a year no problems as of yet except the oil consumption lmao if I drive it like a race car in hot weather that oil goes quick

[agapr]

I just bought 550i 2011 and you scared me 😂 its fine so far

[jakefarm]

Damn, I wish there a review where the reviewer actually owns and operates the car they talking about so we can get better information.

[swift__]

Is the 550i you talked about the same as the m550i? Great video. Trying to decide m550i or m340i🤷🏼‍♂️ prolly going m340 honestly. ( if your as knowledgeable with the x5 models, more so x5m or x5 m50, that would be a great video as well.. for me anyway 🤣🤣😅 ) this is a very helpful video 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[itconsgenio]

So which F10 would you recommend to me? Thanks!

[nocturnedsilva]

Hey, just wanted to see if you can clarify this pls- just purchased a ‘16 f10 535xdrive.. the dealer mentioned this about changing to a msport front bumper- Wheel & engine, Rain shields, radiator shroud and couple other items are different on the car with Msport package. Cant be done
