Question Known F10 M5 issues, problems and solutions

Here's a list of known problems and solutions by owners, hope it's helpful for current and future M5 F10 buyers.
  1. Problem: Clunking / loose noise from rear on bad roads
    Reason: Confirmed factory defect spring coils.
    Solution: BMW releasing replacement spring coils in December 2012
    Reported by: singularity

  2. Problem: Wind rattle/fan rattle sound when car is under throttle
    Reason: Loose pipe clip on induction system
    Reported by: burns all, singularity

  3. Problem: Brakes pedal becomes very soft after a few minutes of stress driving. Beware of increased brake distance.
    Reason: Bad factory brakes. Choose ceramic brakes or don't race for longer than a few minutes.
    Reported by: singularity

  4. Problem: "Drivetrain error. Maximum power not available"
    Reason: Legacy flaw in fuel pressure sensor / high pressure fuel pump.
    Solution: Possibly fixed on cars produced after February 2012.
