2017 BMW 330I Unknown Or Other Problems

2 low coolant warnings within 4 months ended up being an oil filter housing failure, leading to oil and coolant mixing and leaking. This failure could have lead to catastrophic engine damage. An ASE certified shop is doing the repair for around $2,950.

In October of 2023. I notice low coolant notification came on screen. checked coolant saw it was low. Added Coolants. 3 days later same notification. Took vehicle to Shop who stated the coolant cap seal was broken, so I had them replace the coolant cap. 3 days later the same Low coolant light came back. Every few days I had to put coolant in my vehicle. I went through 2 bottles of coolant. Over the Christmas holiday Dec/2023. I dropped my vehicle off at a shop. The oil filter housing and cooler gaskets was bad. BMW replaced this piece from a metal part with a plastic piece. This is my only vehicle and I had to pay for this expensive repair so I could get back and forth to work. Prior to me having the repair done, when I was trying to figure out the problem. I noticed a lot...

out of nowhere with only 1 day warning car requested coolant refill. After refill within 10 minutes car engine ran hot and completely stopped on the expressway. I’ve read hundreds of reviews online and youtube where this exact same thing has happened to others with this same car.

I received a warning on the dashboard that the tires needed inflating and that I should not drive the car over 80 miles per hour. When this happened the communication system on the car failed. I could not use the telephone or the direction feature. I do not know if other parts of the car also failed. When the tires were re inflated, these other features returned. This has happened twice. (In addition the tires needed reinflating on one or two other times.) BMW offers a courtesy service to reinflate the tires so that they don't maintain a record of the problem and they are unable to add a note to their service record to document the problem.

IN MARCH 2022 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER MY HOOD. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A MECHANICAL SHOP CLOSE BY. I WAS INFORMED THAT QUICK RELEASE COUPLING OF THE VENTILATION LINE O FTHE CYLINDER HEAD HAD TO BE REPLACED. BMW PART # 17129845173. AS A RESULT OF THIS MALFUNCTION ALL OF THE COOLANT DRAINED FROM THE CAR WHICH CAUSED THE OVERHEATING. IN AUGUST OF 2022 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM BMW USA THAT STATED "DURING A RECENT QUALITY ANALYSIS IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE QUICK RELEASE COUPLING OF THE VENTILATION LINE O FTHE CYLINDER HEAD COULD BREAK RESULTING IN COOLANT LOSS. THE LETTER SAID U SHOLD BRING IT TO MY LOCAL BMW DEALERSHIP TO BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED IT WITH BMW PART # 17129845173 (SAME EXACT PART NUMBER). I...

When I was driving on suburban roads with speed limit of 45 mph, I received a waring from my vehicle saying "engine high temperature, drive moderately". After sometime, it said "engine overheated stop carefully". During the first warning, I felt loss of acceleration power and during the second warning I felt completely no power in acceleration that too when I was yielding for a left turn which was life threatening, luckily the oncoming traffic slowed down. Otherwise I would have ended up in life threatening crash. During both warnings, I checked the engine temperature gauge in the instrument cluster and the engine temperature was not even 50% of the maximum temperature in the gauge. After the warning, I slowly made it to a nearby parking lot and opened the hood and did not physically feel any excessive heat for an engine not to function. I regularly service my vehicle and...

We had a 2017 bmw 330i x-drive. It had approximately 67000 miles. The car stalled while driving about 6 times. The first time was in 3/2021. The diagnostics were for a faulty high pressure fuel pump. We replaced the HPFP. It stalled again while driving. The diagnostics were for a faulty low pressure fuel pump. We replaced this. The car then stalled while driving 2 more times. The car stalled again in 10/2021, and we towed it to the dealer, who diagnosed a problem with the electric fuel pump control unit., which the dealer replaced. We brought the car home for one day, and we had the same problem again. We brought the car back to the BMW dealer, who diagnosed a problem with the VANOS system. The BMW Peabody dealer directed us to BMW corporate for evaluation of available warranties and rebates given the nature of the problem (VANOS)...

Damaged heat exchanger from debris/rocks getting through grill of car. Now A/C SYSTEM IS BLOWING WARM AIR, IT WILL BLOW COOL FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD AND THEN GET VERY HOT and car overheats. BMW dealer says the radiator needs replaced and will cost $1600. BMWs after 2017 are now manufactured with a mesh grill covering/rock guard to prevent these issues. This should be covered under my warranty and is not.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. SUNROOF AND SHADE WERE BOTH CLOSED. I WAS ACCELERATING SLOWLY. HEARD A SUDDEN, VERY LOUD POP AND GLASS BEGAN TO ENTER THROUGH THE SHADE VENTING AREA. A LARGE PORTION OF GLASS (PROBABLY 1/3 - 1/2) DISLODGED FROM THE AREA, SCRAPED THE BACK OF THE CAR AND LAUNCHED ONTO THE HIGHWAY BEHIND ME. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS BEHIND ME, MUCH LIKE ICE WOULD IF RELEASED FROM THE HOOD OF A MOVING CA.. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND EVALUATE THE DAMAGE. THE SUNROOF APPEARED TO HAVE BUCKLED AND BLOWN OUT, AS THE SHARDS OF GLASS WERE POINTED OUTWARD FROM THE CAR. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT IS AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY, DESPITE HAVING PURCHASED THE CAR CPO JUST OVER ONE MONTH AGO.

I WAS DRIVING ON A FREE WAY DURING RUSH HOUR WHEN I HEARD AN EXPLOSION. I PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THE MOON ROOF TO THE CAR HAD SHATTERED AND CREATED A VERTICAL PROTRUSION FROM THE WINDOW. THE TEMPERATURE THAT AFTERNOON WAS 109 AND I HAD DRIVEN FROM AN ALTITUDE OF 7,000 FEET TO 1,200 FEET. THERE WAS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN TEMPERATURE FROM THE HIGHER ELEVATION. A HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER STOPPED TO OFFER ASSISTANCE AND NOTED HE HAD WORKED IN DEALERSHIP AND THE PROBLEM WAS COMMON. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT LESS THAN A WEEK EARLIER, THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID A ROCK HAD HIT THE CAR AND I SHOULD CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THE SERVICE REP INFORMED ME IT WAS IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE WITHOUT EXAMINING THE CAR. I SHARED WHAT THE DPS OFFICER SAID AND THE SERVICE REP...
