2011 535d going out of motorplan

[grimstoner]

Hi

I recently bought a 2011 BMW 535d M-Sport (F1) whose motorplan is expiring at the end of this year.

I'd like to have a couple of things checked before this happens, in order to make sure that it lasts a long time after the expiry.

What are the sort of things I can ask the dealer to check/replace?

At the moment, it feels down on power. I had a E90 330d before this, which was a little more nippy, but I'm not sure if I was used to the smaller body. Can I request that the turbo boost be checked? Or the HFM replaced?

It also has a (sort of) grinding noise that starts at 80km/h, and is accentuated when turning right at any speed above 80km/h. You can feel the vibrations through the footwell.

been discussed at length - bottomline is:

You can try your luck, but BMW wont replace anything, unless its broken

:smilebounce: Depends on your relationship with w/shop manager - tell them there appears to be a problem the power drops and the car misfires in the mornings. take a chance - when they say its fine take it back and say its doing it again let them do the usual change parts until u happy. or speak nicely to w/shop manager and ask him to look things over - some of them understand.

Good luck

Maybe a change of topic but why not extend plan for another year?

Well, if it's not delivering the power that it should (i.e. somewhere close to 220kw) won't that be considered as "broken"?

Oh okay... I just based it on 2011 + 5yrs = 2016, + 2yrs = 2018 :fencelook:
