    New (to me) 2014 BMW 528i

    Hey guys, been reading your forum for years for my '98 328i and all of its...quirks.

    Just wanted to introduce myself and ask for any advice on a used (somewhat gently) 528i (F10).

    Any advice, recommendations would be great appreciated.

    Thanks,
    J

    Best advise would be to resell it and buy anything but the N20. If that isn't an option make sure you're doing regular oil services (no more than 7500mi) with the correct LL-14FE+ 0w20 oil and a factory filter. The N20's are timebombs. Good luck.

    Really? I'm also in the process of buying a 528i. I was told the 8 cylinder were the problems. Do others agree the 4 cylinder engine is a time bomb? what are the issues it has?
