You will know from the crackling noise when the windows are cranking up or down. I also discount faulty wire because you said one window worked. Quote: Originally Posted by ONE-77.

For BMW F30 335i vehicles produced from 11/2/2011 to 2/29/2012, a technical service bulletin (TSB) was issued due to problems with the stop/start function. While the engine would correctly shut down and re-start, the engine would unexpectedly shut down again after the re-start. Drives: Cta9gsr --> F30 335i. Join Date: Oct 2014.

The climate control is set to 84, center dial is set to red, vehicle does not overheat, coolant was flushed 10,000 miles ago by Bmw dealer. Again, the G20 weighs in about 100-120 pounds lighter than the F30 when comparing similar models and options. Both cars maintain a roughly 50/50 weight distribution. However, the BMW G20 receives a 50% increase in body rigidity over the F30. All this leads to better handling for the G20 3-series.

Yes, the 2012-13 models with the N55 engine is a bit more reliable than the pre 2010 models with the N54 engine, but stuff can still go wrong. Edit: At the poster who said 1k every 80k: You must have gotten really lucky. There are so many things that can go wrong with a BMW, way more than just the HPFP issue.
