I check my thermostat temps about once a week now, and mine is holding strong. Have you seen 2011's having more issues than 2012? I don't recall seeing much 2012 or 2013 owners posting issues. Based on MY coverage of some of the SIBs, it appears BMW made some emissions equipment changes to the D around 2010 MY. How many miles do you have on your car?

Mine is a 2010 That I updated with LCI headlights and taillights, painted the body trim in M-sport fashion, lowered on H&R 1.2s and 22" 599M style wheels, so appearance wise, I am very pleased with it.
Maintenance wise, I have serviced the DEF tank, replaced cracked egr cooler and main thermostat, but I have a check engine light that doesn't seem to want to go away... Keeps pointing to emissions EGR cooler, but this has already been replaced withing the last 2000 miles...Arrrrrgggh! Still, the vehicle runs great and can't find anything else wrong with it other than that stupid annoying check engine light! |

I'm tempted to do some lowering springs on mine, too, I think it would help the look, especially since I have the 20" X5M wheels on it. I also REALLY want to retrofit the NBT entertainment system, but I'm having a very tough time justifying spending that kind of money, when really all I would be getting is a higher resolution screen. I never really need Navigation (and my car now does not have it)

Here's mine on 22" 599M style wheels: It's also a 2010, so I accomplished my own LCI and Msport upgrades. |
