I also have an update for you guys in regards to the belt squeak saga.
Monday morning I started the car and was greeted by this: Would only happen after sitting for at least an hour. So similiar to the squeak, which after being left to sit, it would squeak once and not appear until another cold(ish) start. Mine gotten to the point it would squeak always in warm weather from 1-2 and to 2-3, sometimes even 3-4 upshift. As I was scheduled to get my xDrive transfer case replaced, I showed them this. Today they called me that they are going to replace the belt tensioner. I will post an update to this in the summer if the squeak comes back, but as someone else also mentioned that after replacing I believe an alternator (I was told the tensioner is next to the alternator) his squeak was gone. I would advise anyone with the squeak to get it resolved. It will eventually bite you in the back. |

Confirmed Coolant Leak
https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show...1434505&page=2
Posted already in the above thread regarding the low coolant warning issue, but overall aside from that the engine has been excellent. I'm at about 11,000 miles now. |

x40i recall ongoing (at least in Germany). High revs in N can cause engine failure/ damage.
Software has to get an update. Right now to early to tell if it's only 140(LCI) and 440 (LCI) or the others, too. So far as I know nothing officially yet, just dealers calling their customers in. Thoughts on the prob? |

First official statement (please use google translate or whatever if interested)
"Im Rahmen der bei BMW laufend durchgeführten Qualitätsanalysen wurde festgestellt, dass in der Software des DME Steuergeräts (Motorsteuergerät) eine Funktion zum Schutz von Bauteilen nicht korrekt umgesetzt wurde. Diese Funktion soll Bauteile schützen, falls bei einem stehenden Fahrzeug der Motor zu lange mit hoher Drehzahl betrieben wird." cheers |

Change your oil, wait a bit, then send in another oil analysis. If it's the same thing then you may have a problem and not a one-off.

Dreaded light came on tonight
Pretty confident it just some stupid sensor since the Trans and Engine feel fine. I'll drop it off at BMW tomorrow and get an update. |

You're out of warranty, correct? Why are you going to BMW for this? Why not swing by any reputable auto parts store and have them read the code for free, so you're at least properly informed, and then look for a reputable indy?
