IJust about to purchase certified 2005 545i with sport package. Any generic reliability issues on this model I should review with dealer to be sure they've been dealt with? Thanks...jblakejr
I have a 2005 545i. I bought it 16 months ago and it had 23,000 miles on it. It now has 51,000 miles and other than a couple of service bulletins I have not had any problems at all. The service bulletins were for the Dunlop run-flat tires ( I got four new tires at no charge), the door seals and the passenger seat belt sensor. I have not had any problems with Idrive.
We purchased an 04 545 and haven't had any issues-I drive-well, I read the manual and we love it. Congrates on your purchase
545 Cpo I have not had the best luck with my 04 545i - 6sp Sport Pkg. Computer reprogramed twice then had the CPU replaced. Clutch went out at 49K miles. A/C compressor shot at 51K miles. Glad I have the CPO warranty but still a PITA with all the visits.
I purchased a 2005 545 in June. I have had no major problems and already have 12K miles on the car. I have had 1 oil change (no charge) and also had it in becasue the FTM when off. I thought the problem was in FTM because I could not determine a flat. It turns out one of my tires had a small punture the would occasionally set the FTM off. They fixed the tire at no charge.
