Hi
In a bit of dilemma. Got a late 2007 325i Touring with the N53 direct injection engine in 2010 as an approved used BMW and have extended the warranty twice so still covered. I like the car a lot to drive and does everything I need. Dont do a lot of miles so the MPG not critical.
But
In the last 8 months it has had 6 trips to the dealer (thankfully all under warranty) with a misfire and poor idling. This is well documented as a problem online with this engine. So far it has had 6 new coils, 6 new injectors, several software updates and at the last visit a new catalyst (which I suspect was knackered by the misfiring though BMW thought this may be the cause).
Warranty runs out at the end of the year and both SWMBO and I just starting to lose faith somewhat.
Time for a change or would you hang on and extend the warranty again???
Opinions gratefully recieved.
Paul
