Wondering if people actually negotiate prices when they purchase their bmw comparing to purchasing a Toyota. Does it seem odd to negotiate with dealer? Also, anybody here have worked with a auto broker for their first bmw? Thanks in advance’

I’ve been having this issue for quite a long time now. The “secondary air injection system insufficient flow: bank 1, bank 2.” I can’t figure out what’s wrong with it. I replaced the pump, control valve, vacuum tubes, and check valve seems okay but the code pops back up a day later after clearing. I realize it doesn’t really have much effect on driving, but I’m tired of seeing the Service Engine Soon light on for over a year now lol. Might have to bring it in to a shop soon.

I drive a 2011 335i E90 with n55 No lights on dash or scanner connection

I was in a small accident and the steering wheel and passenger side curtain deployed. At first I had dash lights but no start.

I have replaced the following: Airbags BST Starter The battery drained but charged back good Checked fuses behind passenger dash

Interior lights come on the doors can be unlocked with key fob but not locked. Trunk is not working but the windows are. Checked voltage at the jump point and it was 13.6. I omh out the Ibs and it’s closed.

When I hook up the scanner it comes back that it cannot connect but I don’t think my ignition is not turning on either. Any suggestions would be great, do I need to replace the ECU?

So my 05 530i (Manual) has a weird issue.

At idle cold start RPM’s jumping up and down slightly when in neutral, car shakes a bit randomly like it’s an engine mount but it’s not.

Drives just fine until I hit 4k RPM then I can head and feel it sputtering, slows down the acceleration power. It sputtering unless I’m taking off from a dead stop, or going over 4k RPM in any gear.

Trying to see what could be the issue. Haven’t ran codes yet, but the “service engine soon” light is currently on.

It’s just weird because if I’m at say 3k RPM on highway it’s totally normal. But idling, taking off from a red light, or accelerating over 4k RPM without shifting to next gear causes sputtering.

Any idea what to check first? Thanks!

What BMW should you get? Not sure if it's a good deal? Unsure what are some common issues with that generation/model year car? Ask here! Any posts related to buying a used or new BMW belongs and is welcome here.

More general subreddits are also available for this information: /r/WhatCarShouldIBuy, /r/UsedCars and /r/AskCarSales.

Please try to include any pertinent information such as links to the sales listing, photos of the car, location, etc. We are not crystal ball reading genies, the more information, the better!

Helpers: Please try to substantiate your claims. Rather than just simply "no, not a good deal", try to provide some context into why, as your reasoning might not be relevant to the asker. e.g. "This is a bad deal as this car is known to have issues at 60k miles, and it's already at 59k." would be helpful, but obviously not required.
