Experience Requested: 2011 550i Issues

I am looking into potentially picking up a 2011 550i M-Sport this upcoming week, but I would like to know if anyone has had any issues since purchasing theirs.

I tried searching for threads on people's experiences but didn't find anything.

Any help with this would be great.

Thank you!

It is really hit or miss - I have heard horror stories about some 2011 550's, but that has not been the case for me (knock on wood). My car is a relatively early 2011 build with around 46,000 miles and the only problems my car has had was a high pressure fuel pump failure, oil/coolant leak, and some minor cosmetic repairs. With everything covered under warranty it has worked out great for me hope this helps.

That does help. The one I am looking at has full warranty until 6/25/15 and it only has 25,000 miles on it. I have a daily driver truck plus a motorcycle so I would not hit the mileage and would basically have a year to resolve any issues.

Can you tell me what the horror stories are?

Have mine about a year now 1 problem I've had is had to have all injectors replaced including the fuel rail & plugs all was under warranty at 30000 miles. Other than that it's my daily driver & absolutely love it. No issues at all run. I think it's a common problem with the injectors. Good luck

I guess I need to hope that it goes bad and needs replacing prior to my warranty expiring.
