Should I be very concerned with this used 550i?

BMWisFRIEND · 09-05-2016, 11:24 PM

Hey guys,

In the market to buy a used F10 550i. I found one, reasonably priced, with the colors I like, the options I want, and less than 15,000 miles (2014). The one thing that concerns me, is this service record. The car was a lease and was maintained by BMW, but when I got the service record I found this...

"High Pressure Pump HDP permanent malfunction," "Fuel Injector Permanent Malfunction," and "F0x F1x F15 N63T Program control units (oil-level sensor)."

Albeit, all of this was fixed before 15,000 miles and nothing major has occurred since (at least according to the service history or CarMax).

What do you guys think?

Thanks ahead of time

Besides the major malfunctions, it seems strange to me that a full oil service (2x) and brake fluid was done for under 10k miles.

BMW/Mini had some issues with there high pressure fuel pump couple years back! For brake fluid it's because the date of car manufacturers, 08/13. Been 2 year! And oil, I know they change it once a year or when it hit the mileage. When I had my 2011 mini I had the same problem w/ fuel pump @ about 500 miles. After they changed a new one I had no problems. I wouldn't worry about it if only fuel pump. The rest of the service is normal.

Ah right. I forgot to look at the dates and thinking that the car is only a year old.
