Hi Fellas, just researching my next buy as 2007 - BMW 530i in Dubai and prepared a below list of known problems in that year model. I might switch a year or two later to 2005 (older shape) as that year engine was solid and have lesser problems compared to 07. -> Engine vibration at idle speed caused due to exhaust dampener. -> Engine valve lifter (Tappet) makes too much noise due to dry running - cured by new engine head. -> Starter failure (New starter motor is needed). -> Transmission failure or leaking fluid. (If it leaks new seals, filters and sleeves is needed). If fails - Rebuild. -> Battery drains out pretty faster due to common battery leak - lead to frequent battery change. -> Sunroof leaks water during car wash. -> Minor electrical problems. -> iDrive module failure. -> Door beading and seals (squeaking) wear off faster - due to inferior quality (makes noise on highway). -> Stuck CD in CD player many times.

thanks all
