Hi guys, Bought BMW 325i 3.0 in December 2016. Absolutely no issues when I drove it from Auckland to Wellington. After few days I noticed these issues in the BMW * annoying noise in the cabin when I drive the BMW * noise goes away when switch to N, in the middle of the driving (that what BMW guys said, they said could be transmission thing, but needs a transmission to hear the noise) * it runs very rough, not quiet, sounds like Diesel * ticking noise from the engine * Steering shakes when idle * Poor acceleration * Vibration through the pedals * Slow shifting of gears * drives uphill, engines misfires sometimes (Engine light came once) It used to drive very smooth, super quiet and powerful. I went to one of the European cars specialist in Wellington, they carried out diagnostic scan and no codes found in system, carried out live data test all OK, they suspect fault with cam followers and rockers rollers. Gave me a hefty quote to fix it, they said all rollers and lifters will need to be replaced, quoted me around $6000 Any suggestions, help would be appreciated. Any one had similar kind of issues with E90 325i?

Hello everyone, I'm hoping (praying) someone can help. for a short while now my 545I has been showing the "Check engine light" the car then start's to rumble and vibrate quite badly. a message in the I-drive says for me to drive with decreased load and the car just will not run smoothly. on occasion i would pull over, turn the engine off, remove the key, start the engine and all is well. other forums have suggested replacing the CCV valves, which i have and for about 3 months, no issues. Till today. in the space of 30 mins i have had to restart 4 times and yet nothing is working to smooth out the engine. Yesterday i went on the 3 hour drive from Auckland to Matamata and back, no issues and i even clocked up a 200kph run on the straight road into Matamata. She is overdue an oil change (booked in for next week) and other topics around the globe suggest the O2 sensors (x4) on the 545I. Please if anyone can offer assistance or even point me to the direction of a mechanic in Auckland that ACTUALLY knows their stuff when it comes to BMW's. Thank you all in advance - your input is greatly received and appreciated.
