Hi Steven: Thanks for the your reply and forwarding the note from Tricia; I hadn't seen this email. So, rebate drafts were issued yesterday ? If...
Anyone else experiencing the same? I filed for the rebate the second week of January, 2013 & am still waiting. I've called and spoken with the...
I'm with you - I thought that inserting the fob into the ignition would charge the battery, but it does not. The dealer just replaced the battery...
I had my 2008 550i at the dealer yesterday for a few nagging issues & an oil change. Upon plugging my key fob into their computer, the service...

Interesting. I have essentially the same car, a 2008 E60 550i, sport package, & steptronic auto. I have just under 23,000 miles on it. I've...
I had my brake recall service performed last week; no problems. The dealer kept my car for a few days trying to eradicate the demons that live in...

Interesting that you're bring this up; my 2008 550i w auto/steptronic did exactly this to me the other morning. The temp was just under 30...
Thanks, Grant. The numbers seem to be comparable & I'm going to go with the Dinan solution. I can't wait ! John

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have the tiptronic transmission. No, the throttle response does not improve when in "sport" mode. The lag is...

Exactly. I'm going to take the car to my local BMW dealer this week. They have a great paint guy there - I'm interested to see if he...
Thanks. The car didn't come with the wind-screen - I'm going to pick one of those up this week. Why change the wheels? Honesty, I simply...
