Known issues for this car

Before you buy this car

From the generation guide

1. Test-drive the 8-speed Aisin in stop-and-go. Bad result: jerks, a delayed 1-2 shift, or no fluid service record. A scanner shows the adaptations and fault codes.
2. Listen for a metallic rattle after a cold start. A BMW-capable scanner reads codes P0008, P0016, P0017 and P0341. Bad result: a rattle, those codes, or no chain history after 100,000 km.
3. Ask for the rear coupling oil and filter record. Bad result: no record, or no service in the last 60,000-80,000 km. A scanner reads the all-wheel control unit for faults.
4. Ask a BMW dealer to check open recall campaigns for the car's VIN. Bad result: an open campaign on the EGR cooler or the rear lights.
