  Only had it a 13 days...now in the shop - 2013 BMW 5-Series
  By em11 - May 20 - 12:14 pm

  Drove my car to LAX and left for 3 days. When I returned early morning on the third day, computer system said that some systems had shut down due to low battery. I was able to start it and after my 2 hr. drive home it charged up. Brakes feel grabby with a harder than normal stop. I noticed on my first trip that I had to hold counter clock wise pressure on the steering wheel. When I let go of the wheel, car drifts right. Tried this on various parts of the road. Took it in and they tried to tell me that most cars do that. My Mercedes never did. So now its in the shop and they cant find the problem. Im driving a loaner car...going on a week. As for the look of the car, its nothing special.

  Really disappointing experience - 2013 BMW 5-Series
  By Tom - June 19 - 5:28 am

  This is my fourth BMW. I had good experience with older BMWs. This cars auto start/stop function is abrupt. The entertainment system is highly unreliable. After a few months use, the USB port to Ipod failed to function. Then the email to car system failed to receive messages sent to the car. The bluetooth connectivity is problematic. Phone calls will be received but the sound does not go through the speaker system. When you reported that to the dealership, they claim BMW has problem with keeping up the software updates for iPhones. They cannot fix them. The headlight controller unit failed but the dealership failed to fix it during warranty period. The seat belts buckle hits the hard plastic of the B beam and creates a rattling noise when driving. It seems that BMW has a hard time get their software working properly in their entertainment system.
