F30 Problems / F30 Issues POLL.. Do you have any problems or NOT !!
![]() Featured on BIMMERPOST.com IMO I don't think a lot of cars would be affected and as new buyers we only focus on the problems we read... This poll should help new buyers see what % of forum members really did have problems with their F30.. GUYS DO SHARE WHAT ISSUES YOU'VE HAD IF YOU'RE VOTING THAT WAY

FYI:
The first thing I did when I got my F30 was update the software on it... you can download and do it from the link below using your VIN. http://www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/nav...update_vin.jsp Once downloaded put in on a USB drive, plug the USB Drive in the centre armrest and then go to system update and you should be able to update it no problem... Here's what it updates: http://www.bmw.com/_common/shared/ow...D01004_ENG.pdf

I guess I am the only one with 3+ problems. It has only been one month since I bought the car, and;
1. The wiper are malfunctioning. They said they will change the control unit. 2. iDrive resets from time to time. This is perhaps (and hopefully) related to problem 1. 3. My MP3 CDs are not recognized from time to time. Actually they are far less recognized than unrecognized. Hopefully these will be my last problems. :-( |

that sucks.. They might all be linked.. some electrical crap..
The CD mp3 thing might just need a software update.. hopefully it comes out soon.. I haven't played any mp3 CDs yet.. iPhone or Hard Drive mostly..

I am not sure about the Mp3 CD will be resolved by a SW update. The drive gets in my CD and then tries to read the format, ends up with an unrecognized format message after a minute or so. I eject the CD and insert it back. 1 out of 10 times, it reads and somehow recognizes the format. It plays the songs flawlessly until I stop the car. When I come back, it says unrecognized format. I will still hope that this is a SW issue (yet I doubt it would be). Now I am listening to music through a flash drive.

So for me to connect my iPod/iPhone to the car, all I need is the Y Cable? And then I can listen to all my music, etc... Anything else you'd suggest?

It plays all the songs,playlists,etc. I wish I had bought the extended bluetooth with apps now.. The $1100 would've been worth it. Its a pain in the butt to connect my iPhone all the time cause I keep forgetting it in there.. ![]()

No problems here except a minor rattle underneath the steering wheel column. I will look for it. Maybe due to our rough roads in Hawaii.
Love my car!

So you'd recommend spending that extra $1100 and getting apps and assist? Let's say I don't get the packages, will I still have the standard bluetooth to answer and make calls from my iPhone?

Yes, you still get Bluetooth for making and receiving calls. The enhanced Bluetooth lets you stream music wirelessly, as well as connect multiple phones for telephone use at the same time.

Done! I'm gonna call my dealer on Monday and ask him to add it to my order. He can still do that right? Or am I too late? I have the VIN, don't know if that make a difference?

True...the problem is Lee is on holidays, so I'll still call and see if I can get him. Hopefully he'll make the change...otherwise I'll ask him to re-order it again and I'll wait another month! ![]()

The worst part is Maz, that I'm getting really paranoid about door dings... I went grocery shopping with the wife and I wouldn't go in the place.. I said I needed to guard the car.. Lol.. She thinks I'm going crazy.. I believe her!!

Yeh man I totally agree with you. By the way, did you pick up your car after the dealer washed it? I've heard several people saying not to have the dealer wash your car and to set an appointment with an external car detailing shop? Any suggestions? Shit man this thread is getting ![]() ![]()
