2014 BMW 535d Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2014 BMW 535d opens on a diesel: a turbocharged 3.0L DOHC inline-six in a four-door sedan, Base trim, and nothing else in the range. A diesel changes what a workshop needs on the bench — high-pressure fuel delivery, exhaust gas recirculation and the emissions hardware attached to it — and the engine chapters are written to that equipment rather than to a gasoline engine's, alongside the driveline, chassis, body and electrical sections with their specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams.

Engines covered

• 3.0L inline-six — DOHC, turbocharged, diesel

Body styles covered

• 4-door sedan

Trims covered

• Base

Known issues on the 2014 535d. Four recalls appear on the federal record. Two of them describe the same failure: an exhaust gas recirculation cooler that leaks internally, letting coolant mix with soot until the particles smolder and melt the intake manifold, with fire as the consequence. A third covers a high-pressure fuel pump that can fail and stall the engine while the car is moving. The fourth covers a driver's air bag inflator that can explode during deployment. Complaints number 58 — 20 on the engine, 12 on fuel and propulsion, nine on the fuel system.
