Gee em.
edit: I'm second guessing myself. I think the 06 might be ZF. Last edited by AddictedToBavarian; 05-12-2013 at 08:40 PM.. |

I think the 06 models all came with ZF (both 325 and 330) and from 2007 the 328's got GM while the 335's got ZF.

How do I use the vin to find this information? Never mind I found it... Anyways the reason I was asking is because I was told that the 06 was the most problematic BMW and that it was a BMW General Motors hybrid.

the 335's are the most problematic. 325/328/330 are NA and therefore dont have the turbo/high pressure fuel pump related issues. And GM/ZF doesnt seem to make a diff reliability wise from what ive seen on the forum.
Maybe the 1 bigger issue you will accross with the 06/07 that you wont see in newer models is the engine ticking problem, which affects *some* people..you can read about it in the sticky in the general section. Quote:

Well the problem I'm having is a rough shifting issue but is not happening all the time. And occasionally revs really high in park like last night I pulled in the drive way put it in park and it reved to 3rpm. Now my car is getting up their miles wise 179,000 and unfortunately I fell for the lifetime tranny fluid bs. So now I don't think it's wise to change fluid but I want to change the filter don't even know what to do! Or what the problem could be. New spark plugs and tranny filter but if it doesn't help I guess time to part with the car. BMW never seems to fix problems right like they just guess and hope for the best! I need help as to what it could be! Like a said its not all the time car still shifts smooth as could be but seems to becoming more frequent over the last few weeks

I would run some Jectron through and see if that smooths the engine out, might not but for a few bucks it can't hurt. At that milage I would have almost all the "lifetime" fluids flushed and changed if you plan on keeping it a little longer.

Is it to late to change the tranny fluid at this point it's never been done and have heard horror story's of that cause a transmission to go bad for sure after its been neglected so long. And idk what else they claim to be life time. I planned on driving it until it quit only I though that would be another 100,000 miles hell I had a ford mustang last longer than this with 212,000 on it when sold still ran great! Idk what to do!!!! And BMW can't help me they just take my money! Lol
