F30 Teething Problems
Guys i copied this post from a BMW forum for info on wind noises:
From what I've read online and based off 3 test drives (3 separate cars), this is more common than it should be. In my experience the noise was consistently on the drivers side and super annoying. It was such a big deal for me, that I walked away from a purchase until the dealership fixed the issue.
3 days later, I got a call that the trim around the front window needed to be replaced... I went in, test drove the car, couldn't hear the noise and bought it that day.
I'd bring it to your dealer - this seems like a common problem and BMW is sending out replacement parts fairly quick.

Re: F30 Teething Problems
saw some oily dirt flowing down the left-side headlight last week, i can't really trace the source of the dirt, but when i pop open the bonnet, i can see a lump of greasy black dirt... before seeing that thread that you share, i tot some water went in and the grease kinda flow out.

Re: F30 Teething Problems
The headlamps stain will stop after a month or two. My car is washed everyday with just water. No special attention required....
Anyone has this funny sound coming from the centre console that sounds like plastic expansion whenever the AC is turned on? Had it since day 1 and seems to be getting worse. Just waiting to do it during the 1st servicing at 12k.....
Thanks.

Re: F30 Teething Problems
U can get the foam insulation (soft ones, greyish in color, not the usual black type) for the centre console rattles. It wun eliminate the squeaks totally but it improves alot. Mine is almost non existent now except over uneven roads hahahahhaa

Re: F30 Teething Problems
Bro, My F30 320i does have:
Strange noise
Soft throbbing noise from behind the passenger side of the dashboard. Happens after 5 mins of the drive.
I can only hear it when i bring the car to a stall. Normally happens when i return home before shutting down the engine..
It's not loud but annoying.

Hi all, i am new to BMW, just collected my new ride F30 328i. Needed some advice on the engine oil temperature, on city driving (speed abt 40-80kph) the temperature is between 70 and 120 line, but on expressway (speed abt 100-120) the temperature raises near to 120 and the engine speed is at 2000rpm. Is these normal? And by the way does you all experience overheating? Appreciate all advices thank you.
