Came across many posts of 523 issues, more than other 5 series, and it’s not even Turbo.

i prefer michelin

personally, i wouldn't renew. can't afford frequent visits to workshops.

i suspect it's blower housing too. i had mine replaced and debris cleared.

just go read about the countless problems that an old BM can give to the owner

I think maybe workshop can still do during this period as it is considered a repair, for safety consideration? Lol. Not PML though as they are close until 4 May. Wah, if it’s due to a part that costs $1.2k, I will faintz. Just pray hard. Thanks for sharing too!

Thanks for sharing. Yes, high possibility that sound comes from outside instead of inside. I have thoroughly checked the cabin and very sure that there’s no loose item lying around. Will send to workshop to diagnose.

lately, when i turned the car a bit harder, i can hear a sound from behind me like a loose object slid. i took out every single thing from the car and tried, can still hear the sound. i checked the seat belts, folded down the rear seats and back up again, checked under the carpet, even the vent...

unfortunately, mine is not due for renewal for another few years. but if PQP falls below $10K, maybe worthwhile to renew. when coe goes up later, probably can still sell at a profit.

how do you tell if your ecu is faulty?

i won't want to use mine beyond 10 years.

If it’s blower cover, it can be replaced quite cheaply, about $200+. I just did mine recently. These are plastic parts which will disintegrate over the years. Rims wise, I still prefer stock rims. Don’t like those light weight fanciful Taiwan rims. Bigger rims will affect comfort and pick-up...

Did you manage to find out the cause? By the way, 20 inch is a very big rim to use for this car, I wouldn’t go beyond 18

from your observations, typically at what mileage or at which year do such problems usually start?

Reading this thread is damn demoralising, it’s as if every BM has oil leak problems

i am using michelin primacy

Non RFT is great

mine is 90 plus even after driven for more than 1 hour. 120 degrees is high indeed

i just serviced mine, and the next servicing is stated as 12000km or 12/2020. i was told that this is determined by the car's computer, which depends on your driving style and is condition-based

at pml, it's once every 2 servicings.
