I clicked too minor to care about.

1. Horn low frequency module not working. Will get them to replace at 15,000 km service
2. Floor mat issue. My sales guy came, picked up my spare key (warranty info on key??!) and took my mat back to the dealer to swap it out without having to book in for a service. I was pretty happy with that!

No issues so far, so impressed.

I have a Melbourne Red 2013 335i X-Drive 8AT Sedan with M-Sport package and Stage 1 DINAN Performance Tuner. Added M-performance interior (carbon fibre & alcantara trim kit) and exterior (carbon fibre rear spoiler, rocker panel strips, diffuser kit). Has about 49,000 kms on it.

Love the car... A nice upgrade from my e46 320i 6MT!

The gearbox failed after one week and 189 miles. Something called "mechatronic" had to be replaced.

excluding issues from jb4, once i needed an software update to fix throttle vs pedal issue.

i would put pedal 100% and throttle doesn't go to 100% immediately takes about 3-5seconds and post shift same thing happens.
other than that if i was stock i assume i would have no issue.

2 minor problems with one semi-major.

Heat shield rattle on driver's side is driving me absolutely bonkers.
Spacer issue in the rear passenger side. Seems that the rear passenger tire has more negative camber so the tire isn't as flush as I want it and doesn't match the driver side.

Semi-major problem, car is pulling slightly right. I don't have to fight the steering wheel to keep it straight, but if I do let go, it'll pull right. All these issues after dropping my car off at a "trusted" shop to get the car lowered on H&R Sports. Best believe I got my money back!

"Hard drive" went bad on the head unit at 32k miles. Replaced under warranty. The only symptom was the dash not lighting up right away on super cold mornings. Otherwise this '16 328ix is a surprisingly solid upgrade from the Audi a4's I've been driving all these years.

If I have ANY complaints, it's that it gets noticed much more. I did like the stealth of the Audi.

szl keeps going bad, replaced it once under warranty but it went bad , gave me once an error message about cruise control on the idrive and went out instantly but was marked on the compter of the stealership,,

sway bars broken even though i"m under 100 k kilos , but that not really a problem

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

I have a 2016 328i XDrive since last November. It now has 51000 kilometres on it. A couple of small issues replaced under warranty:

1) MAP Thermostat
2) Transmission oil cooler
3) Start/stop button

I could have done these myself if it wasn't under warranty. Not too pricey.

Did the rear brakes recently. Very easy install. Overall good car - makes driving fun every day.
