Updated: F10 5-series Fuel Sensor Recall (6,400 units recalled in US)
UPDATE 7/28/10
Quote:
Got a call from my dealership that there is recall for the fuel sensor and I need to bring my F10 in. Apparently the car may show that you still have fuel even though your tank is empty. With the pulling to the right and this new issue, been in service 3 times in one month. Potential buyer beware! EDIT: Quote:

I beleive so, I am not 100%. My car was held for the part which takes one hour to install.
My car does not pull to the right at all. Maybe they have a software update? My car got to the dealer yesterday and it's about 1hr from the vpc. 7/21/10

I've always told myself I would never buy a car in the first year of a redesign...but I just couldn't resist this time around. I'm sure all of these bugs will be worked out soon, but it is rather annoying.
Thanks for the heads up on the fuel sensor. |

Yes, in a perfect world I could have waited until the second year of production. But fear not, that what the service department is for. Now is the time to bask in the glory that is the novelty of owing an early F10. For soon, your pool man will be driving a CPO F10 and they'll be as ubiquitous in the American landscape as the Honda Accord.

My car is sitting at the port and not sure when it will arrive at the dealer. Dealer says the same thing, part recall fixes being made at the prep center. Guessing it's the same thing. Not an auspicious start to a new car :-)

Me: "My friend got a call from a dealership that there is recall for the fuel sensor and he needs to bring in his 2011 535i. Apparently the car may show that you still have fuel even though your tank is empty. Do you know anything about this?" BMW: "I have checked your vehicle’s VIN# and could not find any recall information for it. Your vehicle may have a different production date than your friends vehicle. You will be notified if a recall is launched for your car. " |

All the 5series Gran Turismos should be recalled on account of excessive UGLY. The current GT owners should receive the elegant and beautiful 5 wagon/estate as a replacement.
Sorry I couldn't help being cheeky on this one. Cheers! |

expected outcome. Not surprised; first year bugs are more prevalent. But that shouldn't stop anyone to enjoy their automobiles.

So sad?
Really? Every experience I had at the BMW dealership was more than pleasant, usually kinda fun. I had a great service advisor though, so that helped. Not like the owners will be out of pocket anything, just have to make time to take it in and pick it up. Dealerships should give loaners and the technicians will most likely look over the car while they are doing their work to make sure everything is a-ok. Sounds like a win-win situation to me. Now if this was the 10th or 11th recall since production started, that would indeed be sad...
