Typically if you have a lot of problems, BMW will get you out of the car and into another, but I don't want another one. If, like they tell me, "they all do that" then why should I bother? And I think BMW has got some issues to work out with their electronic steering assist, not just on the 5 series.
So I sold the car Tuesday. I should have kept my E92.
For those of you with no problems (or can live with the problems) I wish you the best of luck. For those who are thinking of buying a new 5 series, if you want a nice luxury car, go buy a Lexus. If you want a nice sport/luxury car, go get an Audi. If you want a nice looking luxury car, go get the Mercedes.
I love my M5 and I'll be driving that every day now. And I'll likely buy another BMW down the road, but it will be a used one, and something pre-turbo, pre-electric steering.

Just curious, what was the hit on the trade. Was it in the middle of a lease? i thought you loved the stick shift in this car. I am in a little shock that you sold you car, but i understand the issues of idle and others were not being fixed.
Anyone else with a stick 535i from 11? think the 12 model is any better?
