2011 BMW 5 Series Transmission Issues
Ok now it is becoming very unpleasant hour long commute in traffic. What bothers me is the gear confusion in the 20-30mph area......I notice it while stuck in traffic, the car jerks back and forth switching between gears. I took the car to the dealer, the diagnostic check showed no errors and dealer said it is all normal. Anyone else experiencing the same issues as I do with my 2011-528?

Re: 2011 BMW 5 Series Transmission [11bmw5]
I have had NO RESPONSE so far from "customer service". I have nitrogen filled tires. I receive a monthly email from the dealer reminding me to bring the car in for a tire check. The last time I was told to ignore the email and just check the tires every 6 months. I asked them to check the tires anyway since I was already there and they refused. The Dealer is ... Read More

Re: 2011 BMW 5 Series Transmission [nickel2]
What's the current story with the 8 speed AT??? The shifting between 1st and 2nd gear is definitely choppy sometimes and I do feel lag in the acceleration. I have also noticed that it shifts pretty rough on the low end downshifting. It is very noticeable in traffic. I think paying 50K+ for an upscale sedan we DO have a right to demand our transmissions work as they should, or maybe ... Read More

Luckily I have the wheel/tire insurance which fully covered it but they still made me pay $200 for alignment. Ridiculous that they asked me if I hit something - obviously BMW knows there is a problem. I hope it doesn't happen ... Read More

Re: 2011 535i Tires and Rims [techman9]
I've always avoided the optional, lower-profile tires and wheels. Yes, they may look better (subjective) and handle better (not that many people actually ever make use of them), but where I live, the roads at the end of the winter are not too great, and the cost is just not worth it to me. While the 19-inchers aren't that much lower, that extra little bit can make a difference. Not as ... Read More

money factor
Please supply for 2011 535i MF and residual for 12,000, 15000 miles, and also for returning (loyalty) BMW--I turned in leased BMW 4.5 months ago. Also, I will then do multiple security deposits. (Also, I intend to hold BMW to dealer commitment of $1500 BMW cash if ordered by Dec, but MF would be MF when car arrives, if MF lower then; my BMW just arrived at dock)

Re: MF for Jan BMW 2011 535i [skobola]
Well, I realize all the pluses for the vehicle. But BMW nationally was not as supportive with past problems as, years ago, Cadillac nationally, Lincoln nationally, Audi nationally, Mercedes nationally, were for me when major issues arose. Instead, BMW kept bucking things --like loaner vehicle for major warranty problems -- to "the Center." The 2011 535i did well on safety numbers, so I bypassed incredible deals offered by AudiA6 and Mercedes ... Read More

Re: MF for Jan BMW 2011 535i [asteinberg]
Asteinberg, you do not have to accept the ordered car. So, if you have a change of hart, you can always go with some other car. However, I believe that it will be difficult to find a "better" car for comparable monthly payment. Of course, you can find a less expensive car lease, but you will probably not be happy with the car, and especially not if you have already accustomed ... Read More

Re: MF for Jan BMW 2011 535i [x021627]

Re: MF for Jan BMW 2011 535i [x021627]

Re: MF for Jan BMW 2011 535i [asteinberg]
You can't mix and match programs. You are correct that if the current January program with its money factors are better for you that you can select that one. But that means you give up the December program which happened to have $1500 holiday cash. You need to figure out which one works best for you. Good Luck with whatever you decide.

Re: MF for Jan BMW 2011 535i [Car_man]
HI, CarMan. You have me a bit concerned and confused. The $1500 incentive was for 535i ordered in Dec. So, that should be locked in,. But when the car arrives -- in Jan or Feb, I should be eligible for the MF in effect in Jan or Feb. After all, consider the alternative. Suppose I was just BUYING the car I ordered in Dec-- I'd still get the $1500 incentive when ... Read More

Re: 2011 BMW 5 Series Transmission [johnbomb]
Okay - This may sound crazy, but I was having the same problem with my brand new F10 and it was really bumming me out. My dealer said it was normal which only aggravated me more. I then stumbled onto another forum where the following reset procedure was posted. TRY IT - IT WORKS!!! 1) hit start button once to turn on power (Don't start the engine) 2) then press the ...

Re: 2011 535i lease Need Help [tkcane]
These amounts are off the wall. Three dealers offered me invoice. Another said he would beat invoice if I showed him an offer from the others. I decided not to, because I wasn't too keen on this dealer. so, go fgor invoice. Find out what the net money factor is. And, you certainly should get the $1500 cash back from BMW.

Re: Nov '11 535xi mf/residual/sale price [grandyt]
Hello grandyt. BMW Financial Services' November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 535xi with 15,000 miles per year are .00225 and 56%, respectively. $500 over dealer invoice before the deduction of the $1,500 cash incentive would be an excellent deal.

Re: 2011 535i -- Last BMW for me [roadburner]
Hope you continue to enjoy your BMW and don't experience the same issues I dealt with. How old was your Mercedes and which model? Mercedes had a few substandard years during its stint with Chrysler and attempts to save money. It has apparently recovered. The 2010 E Sedan has very high marks from Consumer Reports. My 2008 Mercedes was absolutely trouble free during the 2 1/2 years that I had it. ... Read More

Re: 2011 BMW 535i Pulling to the right [mfarrell65]
That is rather interesting...the dealer told me the exact same thing about their new shipment of 2011 535xi. I do not know where your dealer is, but the one I visited was in Suitland, Maryland. The stated reason for the "service campaign" was that the "factory ran out of the proper tires for the cars, so they decided to ship them with alternate tire/wheel combinations and follow up with the proper ...

Re: 2011 BMW 535i Pulling to the right [mfarrell65]
Tires, especially on an all-wheel drive vehicle, can have dramatic impacts on tracking, handling, and comfort. It would be interesting to review and correlate problems with a specific brand/model of tire. The last two cars I've bought came with Goodyear tires...I never really liked them. My guess is that the vehicles sold in Europe probably don't come with Goodyears.

Re: 2011 BMW 535i Pulling to the right [flame2]
I got an interesting message from my dealer today. I have a 535i x drive on order and it arrived in the port a week and a half ago. When I questioned why it had not been received yet, I was told all 5 series in the port are going through a service campaign. The service campaign requires that all 4 tires be replaced. I wonder if this has to due ... Read More

Re: 2011 BMW 535i Pulling to the right [sambo49]
I am cynical re what the dealer says....all three dealers either downplayed, professed ignorance of the problem, or said BMW was "working" on the problem, for over 2 months, in my case. Also BMW has yet to acknowledge they had ANY problem with allignment of 5 series, in fact they have ignored problem via their customer relations people. I'm glad I am in a Jaguar now, even though I initially loved ... Read More

Re: 2011 BMW 5 Series Transmission [sambo49]
I did not notice the problem during the test drive. However, who test drives a car in normal driving conditions? I don't or didn't. I was looking at the overall accleration, handling, the comfort, ect. I would not buy this car until I test drove it in stop-and- go traffic. If the problem is there, you will notice it right away. Apparently some of the cars have it and some don't. ... Read More

Re: 2011 BMW 535i Pulling to the right [el168]
Test drove the 535xi 2 days ago...dealer says that BMW fixed the software problem at the factory for all cars built after august, which includes the x drive models. Judging by the message posted about the pulling to the right issues, this seems to be accurate.

Re: 2011 BMW 5 Series Transmission [dhc2]
Did you notice the transmission issues right from the beginning or did it gradually get worse? I test drove a 535xi 2days ago at parking lot speeds and up to 45 mph and did not notice the tranny issue. I was pretty impressed with the car lest the hesitation on acceleration and steering lack of feedback. Good Luck!

Re: 2011 BMW 5 Series Transmission [dhl]
I have the same problem. The car now has around 6K miles. I thought the issue was getting better, but I drove the 2001 5 that I gave my son when I bought the 11 again last night. I'd take the 01 transmission any day over the 11. Driving the 01 only highlighted the problem. I am calling my Service Advisor this morning for an appointment. Read on two other sites ... Read More

Re: Unsure [bett12]
We bought a certified pre-owned 2008 BMW 535i last October. The car is a joy! Maintenance costs so far have included an alignment, at the cost of $175 -- which is high for that service. Otherwise, a little indicator light comes on telling us to get service, we go to the dealership, and leave without paying a dime because, frankly, we have already paid for the service in the purchase price. ...

Hello Car_man I am in the market for a 2011 BMW 535xi I think the current MF is .00230 for October. Can you please tell me the residual based on 12000 miles a year for a 3 year lease. I also presume its a little early to see if there are any changes for the numbers in November? Regards Kaysid

2011 535i -- Last BMW for me
Bought 2011 535i in July 2010. Traded it in on a 2011 Mercedes E550 Sport yesterday. After owning three BMW's, I will not have another one. This car was in the shop 3 times in 3 months. Two days after the second visit the car quit in the middle of an intersection. From day one the car hesitated upon a slow acceleration, the transmission seemed to search for the right gear ...

I'm in the market for the same car - I got a quote on the similarly equipped car - heated seats only instead of the cold weather - $627 including tax with 7 MSDs and I walked away - time is on my side - I feel I could have squeezed the guy to below $600 - JMK BMW in NJ.

Wow. Check the lemon laws in Florida. North Carolina law states 4 attempts to fix the same problem with no resolution. There are far too many complaints on this issue in the BMW forums. I am not confident the strut replacement or software update will fix the problem. I have not seen any postings in the forums stating either/or both the fixes solved the problem. Keep us posted on. Good luck. ... Read More
