Oh no, not again
The E90 is back at the dealers for the 4th time in 9 months of ownership, again with a misfire, general poor / sluggish running and this time an intermittent exhaust gas warning light thing.
I really am fed up of this car, dont get me wrong, i love it when its running right, but it has been the least reliable car i have ever owned. The mrs is really not in the best of health at the moment and i need a reliable car to get her to and from hospital appointments etc. I cant see me keeping it after February when the warranty expires, there is too high a risk of an expensive repair bill. The garage reckon they have spent in excess of 3k in the previous repairs and i am waiting to hear what needs doing this time. Erghhhh!!!!

I was contemplating buying the 320 petrol I'm glad I didn't as your not the only one with the same kind of issues I mate has a 10 registered 320i and his has been in to dealers quite a few times.

You don't need that grief my friend. Definitely time to consider changing if possible.
I do believe you originally were looking to purchase an e91, well, now is a fitting time to search for one and put the problematic 320i behind you. You know you want to.

The 2.0 petrol does seem to be a crap engine, hope you find a suitable replacement.

So, picked the car up today after having a new injector, told it was fixed. Guess what, driving home from work at 2200hrs tonight and engine management light comes on, loses power and starts to misfire. I am fed up of this F%$%*&£ car!!!

If it's under warranty, take it to Battersea BMW, you won't regret the trip down !

There are several members on here that will agree. They specialise mainly with *problem* cars, usually sent by dealer network who cannot sort an ongoing problem with a customer's car. |

I really feel your pain. I have had my fair share of problems with a warranty claim working out at once a month for the last 6 months!
Last time it went in for a new clutch and flywheel. The car is only 1year 10months old. Anyway, I have had it with this car and so has the lease company. It will be gone in the new year. I will do a thread about this another day. Good luck with this mate. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. D |
