Well timely search and solution found saved me quite a good money. Thanks and love u all.

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
