Hey Everyone,
I have been looking around on the site for a while and all the topics are interesting and very helpful.
I bought a 2010 E90 323i in May 2013. It had 10500km on the clock. I know that this will be the best car I will ever drive and I cannot imagine every trading it in on anything else. I love the straight six in the engine bay, I love the automatic and paddle shift gearbox and generally I just love the car.
It now has 44000km on the clock. It has been for all the oil changes and services it could go for before the motorplan runs out. I am considering extending it. There is still a lot that can happen and I am not so sure about the service costs without a motorplan.
Anyway, I do need some input on somethings that is currently going on with the car.
In October 2014 I took the car to Leo Haese for an oil change. I asked them to have a look at the brakes as well and they replaced it. In the beginning of December 2014 the car started making a "clicking" sound everytime a pressed the brake as I approach a speed bump. Sometimes it is load, sometimes a little softer, but you can still hear it. Sometimes there is nothing. The thing is I took it back to BMW, but the "clicking" doesn't always happen. I drove around with the vehicle specialist and we couldn't hear anything. it was rather discouraging.
Secondly, when the car gears down, let's say after I get of the highway approaching the traffic light, it sometimes jolts. Sometimes it is so hard it feels as if someone has rammed my car from behind. This also happens occasionally. I asked the guys at Leo Haese to have a look at that as well and we drove around town and again nothing...
Now, I am not sure what to do. I cannot not take the car back again and again they cannot get the car to do the same thing. They are not sure what to look for. Has anyone had the same issues and if so what did you do to fix it? Or can anyone advice me as to what the problem could be?
Your help is really appreciated.
Regards,
André
