(Zitat von SamTE) Well, I can't relate. With most of my cars it has just been maintenance. No big faults. I buy cars for looks, handling, comfort etc. MPG is just a bonus. I've owned a 7 series E38 with 4.4 liter petrol V8 engine, so.. I think that explains enough. Of course reliability is a plus, but it doesn't have to be Toyota levels of reliable. I have yet to drive a Toyota or any other Japanese car that can offer the same driving feel as a BMW can. Lexus can maybe offer comfort, but that's …

(Zitat von SamTE) US is weird. That first link is a joke. Picture description says "N57 3.0 twin turbo in an X5", while the picture shows an N55B30. Then further down they talk about N47 and N57, but they say M47 and M57 instead. That's a weird reason. But you are clearly controlled by your wife. Better choice? Ha.. Maybe for reliability and MPG. For everything else, not at all.

(Zitat von SamTE) Well you are clearly not here to help, nor have you read much of what I've said.. I am not new to the world of BMW. And I did write here because most international (English speaking) forums are mostly American based, and America does not have much experience with the diesel engines. My question was specifically about the N57 engine, not about the cars in general. You seem to only be here to troll and derail the topic. If I want to buy a newer car with zero issues, I will probab…

(Zitat von AltinB1306) Ah. I am more used to the A and B being improvements (like with N47D20A and N47D20C) Oh, I thought I saw some topics here about 535d being more prone to engine failure than 530d. But I guess it was something else. Yes I know. I think with me having owned a short wheelbase E38 I should be somewhat used to it. F10 wheelbase is only 40mm longer. I have driven F01 7-series before as well. Big cars. F10 handles well I'm hoping to find one without Integral Active Steering, but I…

(Zitat von AltinB1306) No I mean if the extra turbo(s) put extra stress on the internal components of the engine since you guys say 535d fail more often. Yes it seems that often the small turbo fail, even on old 35d M57 engine in previous generation. I know, I have owned E34, E38 and E39 before the E90 and there is definitely a difference. But at the same time I do not feel that cars after E39 era is as bad as many people say they are. I think the "biggest" difference for me will be that I am go…

(Zitat von SamTE) Well I see you have (or used to) a 550i with the dissaster engine N63 so there is not a big suprise that you have this mindset. People say this about everything after the E39 era, but I can't say I agree. It's not as difficult as you say. Despite not owning one, I am a bit familiar with F10, and know people who also are familiar with them so it's not a big issue. I was just more curious about N57 specifically. I own E90 LCI without warranty, and no big dissaster has happened (Z…

(Zitat von Benzo) Hehe, that is true. But when thinking about how the M57 in general have pretty good reputation, and then you see all the negative talk about N engines you begin to wonder I really hope so. I do get the impression that they are better than the 2L R4 atleast I'm from Norway. I do have to say that most of the failures I see are on cars with N47. Both E6x and F1x, and occationally 3 series and X series. I haven't seen many 3L with this failure. But like I said before, it may be bec…

(Zitat von AltinB1306) I hope so, but I think I never will be 100% convinced. I will probably buy one, but still be nervous Well, I have seen a couple 2012 too. One F30 320d with 120,000km had timing chain failure. And now recently two 2012 520d with ticking noise from the chain. So they have not failed yet, but they are making noise so it should be replaced. As for CP4 failure it seems to have be 100% random. It can happen at 80.000km, or it can happen at 280.000km. Well smooth running and clea…

(Zitat von Benzo) Sounds good. I see both positive and negative about these engines so it just makes me wonder who and what to believe If it can handle moving a big E70 it should do fine with F10 Maybe not, but I see alot of negative with N47 here in my country. But to be fair, alot of it is early D20A in E-series BMW. Only a couple timing chain failures on F3x and F1x. But I have no interest in that. 4 cylinder is just not for me (Zitat von AltinB1306) I saw one guy here with 525d 204ps, he had…

First, I apologize for using English in a German forum, because my German knowledge is very small. The English speaking F10 forums seems to be mostly American, which means little to no knowledge about the diesel engines. So I have to ask here. I currently have E90 3-series with M57 engine, but I have been thinking about selling it and buying F10 or F11 525d 204ps, or 530d 245ps if I can find one for a good price. Because I really love the look of these cars. But I see all this talk about timing …
