R K., OH (2018 BMW 5 Series 530i xDrive 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Check engine light came on for no reason many times, requiring that I take vehicle in for service. It took over a year before software fix resolved the problem."
Jeffrey Y., CA (2018 BMW 5 Series 530e 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"The steering wheel moves upward upon exiting the vehicle and on occasion will not return to the driving position. In addition the electronic control does not work to move the wheel back down so you have to drive with the steering wheel up in the air. I consider this to be dangerous. BMW have not been able to fix the problem. i drove the car to the dealer with this intermittent problem 2 weeks ago to show them. They have still not called me to arrange to have it fixed. I think this is.a serious safety issue."
