Re: My F30 issues
My 1 year old 316i has a high pitched sound surfacing during vey slow speed and braking after driving for some time. It seems that some parts are heated up and causes the sound. I brought to PML and they can't find any faults except to remove and re-install the back right wheel where the sound comes from. But the issue still remains..........Sigh
Actually I have encountered the same issue on my F30 318 LCI model. The high pitch sound comes from the left rear wheel for my case and it surfaces at low speed after driving for some time. Brought back twice to PML to rectify.
On the second time to PML, they re-adjust/re-calibrate the park brake shoe on my rear left wheel, and the sound kind of disappeared and occurs very occasionally now. Going to monitor further.

I can feel for you.
These problem are really worrying and I am also pondering the QC and built quality. I have to cross my fingers.
1) Care to share what is wrong with the drive train?
2) Coolant leakage could be detected using presure check to see where is the leakage --- hope it's only the coolant connecting hose and not the pipes!
3) Engine oil leaking?
Perhaps the seals and gasket? Wear and Tear, but still a bit too early with only 10K km mileage.

Tell PML to take their time to figure out the real root causes of all your car's problems. Meanwhile enjoy the courtesy car they gave you. I hear that they provide 335i these days. Not bad lah.

PML says, it is normal. 10k KM 1 liter top up
Ya. But very troublesome.

Hi all. Have 2 queries on f30.
1) Like to verify this. When shifting gears from D to R or vice versa while stationary, is it normal to have a very slight jerk on gear change? Can feel the gear change. Is this norm? Mine is a 316i and did not really take note until recently. Mileage is 17k.
2)There was once I accidentally pressed the wrong button P while coming to a stop before reversing into a lot . Itchy hand coz I put my thumb on the P button. Got a jerk of course coz moving forward and a sudden stop. Not sure if amy damage done. Can any one advise?

1) Mine doesn't have a jerk, but are you on a slope?
2) At low speeds, should be ok, but don't do it that often i guess? hahaha
Hi bro zacsbmw, thks for responding.
On slope is more obvious. On flat sometimes only. Do u feel the slightest change in gear from d to r ( vice versa) ? Normal driving when car on the move is normal. No jerk at all. Only when attempting to shift between p , d , r. Not always though.

I also sometimes get the jerk when shifting direct from D to R or P to D. So what I do these days is shift to N first. ie D-N-R, P-N-D. Not sure if it's the right way but seems to avoid the clanging sound during gear change. My car is 1.5 yrs old. Maybe some tech expert can advise us...
