1. A/C Max not blowing strong 2. A/C (in general) not all that cool 3. Musty odor when running A/C 4. Ventilated seats don’t blow as forcibly as they did when car was purchased (and hence don’t cool as much) 5. Transmission is hesitant at 10-15 mph - can't decide which gear it wants to be in - sort of jumps/hesitates (you'll find this problem in other forums). That's it in a nutshell -

I have decided (probably misplaced suggestive paranoia) to have my local German tech look at my front end for a pull to the left oddly enough. After checking my VIN the software update is not in the German system that he access for updates. I will be bringing some various supportive evidence from this forum and others.
Appointment is for September 27th, I will let you know what they do here.

Tetiker: I believe mine was a software fix only. I'll double check the invoice, but I don't belive any other adjustments were made. |

This may be obvious, and jc031662, this is probably not the issue with your car. But for others, I'll throw this out:
I find that the F10's handling is, in general, very sensitive to proper tire inflation (more sensitive than other cars I've had). Also, I've found that the F10 is more sensitive to road crown that was my E39, especially if tire inflation is low. My car was pulling to the right. I checked tire inflation and all my tires were about 4 or 5 psi under spec. I inflated the tires properly and sensitivity to road crown was significantly reduced. Also, the car was also easier to keep straight on the highway. I then reduced the inflation in the left tires to 1 psi under spec (to compensate for normal road crown) and now the car tracks very straight. |

Has anyone else had the dealer adjust the camber on the front and rear wheels.
My car looked out of whack and now is better. However, the car still "wanders" on highways. Kind of like an early 1990s Buick. |

I am not sure if this is a stupid question to ask or not, given that September builds potentially are still not delivered to their eventual owners; but are there any signs that this issue is still there on the September builds?
I wonder if the 6-week delay in the builds were related to this (or some other) problem that they ran into, as it covers more than the time needed to retool the factory. Any thoughts or information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. At least the feedback mechanism seems to be working if that indeed is the case. However, as one of the globally recognized leaders in the industry, I am sure we all agree that they need to serve the needs of the customers who have their cars delievred before the fix. And I am sure they will do that at some point in time.
I still would strongly suggest that folks test drive their vehicles before signing them over. It is your right.

Not really JC. For me, I got used to this. It's practically non-existent, if I drive in a certain way, which is not troublesome at all. I used to drive with one hand on the wheel but now I rarely do that.

Anyone with ED- Did your F10 pull to the right?
I wonder if any member noticed this issue during their trip for European Delivery? I am planning one and wonder what to do and where to report this "pulling" problem if it occurs?

I have the same problem, the car pulls to the right. I'm from Spain. My car has 2 months in the workshop of the dealer and have not yet fixed. They put the software but the problem remains the same. Unbelievable but true ...

I called BMW, who directed me to mondial. They did nothing. Finally bmwna put me in touch with Paris BMW, scheduling an appointment the following day. When I showed up, they wouldn't even look at it. Ultimately, I just had to live with it during the trip. The car is now at the VDC in new jersey, being repaired (actually waiting for a "backordered" part) As for your ED, I'd check it as soon as I drive out of the welt, and have the address of the Munich dealer handy. |

bfv, as I indicated in my earlier post, I am tryin gto figure out whether this issue is still seen in the September builds or not. So if you can post your experience (assuming yours will be post September ), it would be much appreciated.
What build was the car that is having the problem in Spain?

Another annoying problem that I have is when I start to drive on cold starts and turn the wheel I get what best described as a farting/rubbing type noise from the front. Can't really tell if it's coming from the strut/shock. Very noticeable but for some reason not as bad when the car is warmed up. Other dealer doesn't couldn't find anything but hopefully the dealer I dropped it off to today can fix and solve the problem. Anyone else get this funky sound on their car? |
