general problems of the 2011 BMW 535

I purchased the BMW 535 and it continues to have drivetrain malfunction issues. This feels like a safety concern for several reasons. The first is that were not able to identify the issue, but I believe it has to do with the systems diagnostics being triggered or misfiring this is an unfortunateissue because wherever we are, we can get stuck randomly. Lastly, the car has an issue with oberheu. Issue because wherever we are, we can get stuck randomly. Lastly, the car has a issue with overheating believe it has to do with the radial hose.

Carmax sold me a car but rolled back the odometer before I took possession. Autocheck report shows mileage of 59,964 on June 16, 2014 and 57,116 on Sep 16, 2014 when I bought it. I never saw this report until I tried to trade it in last week. Offered 1/2 of value bc of tampering. I called carmax to correct this and they said they aren't liable bc the title says actual mileage even though they know it's not.

I have a 2011 BMW 535i that has front and rear cameras and I have recordings of the live footage of my incidence. I was driving through a residential street in my neighborhood to my house. I approached the gate entrance for my complex and stopped on the right lane of the road to make a left turn across the opposing traffic lane to approach the gate entrance. When there was no ongoing traffic, I accelerated to cross the lane and once I had cross the opposing lane and entered the driveway to the my residential complex's gate entrance, I pushed on the brakes to slow down to enter the key code to open the gate. The car slowly down after I pushed the brakes, but then it suddenly accelerated in a herky jerk manner for a 5 second burst for no reason (my foot was on the brake the entire time as my car initially started slowly down after I made my approach towards the gate). The car rammed through and broke the gate and accelerated for a few seconds more before the car finally stopped. I had my foot on the brake the entire time and kept down on the brake, which was evident as the car was initially slowly down from an acceleration before the sudden unintended acceleration, as well as eventually came to a complete stop after the acceleration incident. My BMW has both front and rear cameras on it and I was able to record the entire incident. I can provide the footage of the accident. I have a great driving record and have never experienced an incident like this before. My car is in great condition and has been regularly maintained and serviced. There�were not any check engine or notification lights on the car before or after the incident. . �.

My wife went to get a haircut, parked her 2011 BMW 535xi awd at approximately 1:30 p. M. Mst (the engine was turned off and the car was locked) in the retail center parking lot. At approximately 2:45 p. M. Mst someone entered the salon and said a car was on fire (her car). The fire appears to have been in the back side of the engine compartment on the passenger side. The fire department arrived and put out the fire. It is concerning a parked car that was turned off and locked started on fire. Thankfully for my wife and two children who are usually with her the car didn't catch fire when they were in the car or while it was parked in our home garage in close proximity to my son's bedroom. I researched the issue online and found many other BMW owners have experienced the same problem and that BMW issued a recall to fix the issues. I checked our car for recalls tonight and both the BMW site and NHTSA site showed zero open recalls. Please advise on what steps we should do to ensure this tragic event doesn't occur to other owners.

BMW has disabled the safety and security features of the model year 2013 and older. My vehicle no longer has an active sos button. Among other features, the collision notification system and stolen vehicle recovery system are no longer operational. BMW has changed software from 2g to 3g which makes my dashboard hardware incompatible and, therefore, inoperable. I paid for the safety and security features when I purchased the vehicle, and now they have been disabled. In the event of a serious accident or breakdown, the sos button cannot be used. As of January 1, 2016, BMW assist safety plan is nonoperational. I have communicated with various divisions of BMW, and this is their reply: "we do not have a retrofit option in order to upgrade earlier hardware to newer hardware. " rather than run old software and new software simultaneously so that our hardware is operation, BMW was disabled the safety ad security features. My dealer BMW of springfield NJ (formerly jmk) was unaware of this problem. I as an owner was also unaware that the safety and security features were disabled until I tried to use the sos button. I have only 36,000 miles on my car and cannot purchase a new vehicle at this time. BMW made an irresponsible decision to disable very important features and neglected to inform the owners.

I was driving about 40 mph and my car just died on the street and chassis stabilization light came on. . Had to restart car 7-8 times to be able to move inside parking lot.

With time, the interior door handle material (on driver as well as passenger side on front and rear) melts / disintegrates and it seems to be harmful for kids to be touching it and maybe even playing with it with a risk to be ingesting such sticky substance which keeps peeling. It is potentially also harmful for adults to be using the vehicle (specially an handle which is used to close and open the door) and then by mistake consuming food items with that hand � please review this case - it seems a prevalent problem in this model systemically right side handle part number of BMW - 51-41-7-225-860 left side handle part number of BMW - 51-41-7-261-929.

While driving my 2011 BMW 535i on the interstate, on a construction zone, at 11:00 pm, I hit a pot hole with my front driver side tire. Almost immediately noticed front end vibration. Pulled over, did not notice damage to the wheel/ tire and continued driving until arrived at home without tire pressure monitoring activation. Upon inspection of the front driver side tire, noticed an approximatelly a 3 inch long "bubble" on the side wall of the tire. Following Monday, brought the car to the good year shop for inspection after opening up a case via the 800 number with goodyear. Upon inspection by the goodyear mechanic, there was a large 3-4 inch tear in the inside layer of the sidewall. Unable to determine how many layers involved. Most likely that the outside layer not involved because tire maintened pressure at all times. Based on a web search, it appears that there have been multiple failures of the sidewall of these tires. Tire involved, goodyear eagle ls2 rof, dot ne66 jp1r 2011. When are you going to investigate the issue?.
