1 day after purchase, TPMS went bad
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com A bit disappointing. I know things go wrong but it takes away a bit of the new car buying feel. |

It is too bad but I agree it is a minor annoyance. You can express disappointment that it happened on your brand new car and how it detracted from your experience. Maybe they'll give you some BMW freebies for your trouble since you have not yet filled out that all important dealer survey from BMW.

I know the feeling.
2km after picking mine up I had a drivetrain error pop up but no warning lights remained on. took her in after the weekend whereby they kept the car for 4 days and did F all. It would have been longer but I demanded the car back after 4 days of no work. They told me they did a full software update but errors kept coming up and now talking about new steering ECU and rack plus another ECU that controls the accessories. They said they had to get advice from BMW head office - 2 days and nothing. When I demanded to pick up the car as it was now Friday afternoon they said brand new IStep just became available and newer by 2 months than the one they put on. I suspected BS. sure enough when I took the car home and plugged into ISTA there was NO software update done. wtf had they been doing with my brand new car for 4 days! Anyway I have BMW head office doing an investigation. hopefully get some answers. |

I picked the car today. They told me they replaced the tpm sensor. The light went out, now I see tire pressures and no more malfunction. Happy.
I mentioned the issue to the advisor because one, he said to let him know if I needed anything and two, to see if at least they would offer a cool gift for the hassle. |
