Recently Acquired an 07 550i!
Hey everyone! I just picked up my first BMW product today. Its an 07 550i with 64k miles on it. So far the car has been great. I did have 2 questions though.
1. First is the transmission. It seems when I shift the car over to shift "manually", the car does nothing. It wont downshift when I tell it, it wont upshift when I tell it, it just drives like its in auto. The dash still has the D on it, where I would expect it to change to S or D1 or something. I do have a TPMS light on so not sure if that has anything to do with it. Any ideas what up here? 2. Are there any good livability mods I should be looking at? Im going to keep the mechanics of the car stock but what mods make the car feel newer than it is? I currently have a bluetooth audio adapter plugged into the rear aux so at least I have bluetooth streaming. Thanks everyone! |

I'd also imagine there's some preventative maintenance for the turbo system, but I'm not aware as I only have a 528i. My 08 528i doesn't have a backup camera so I'm considering that. I also haven't quite figured out how to hook up my iPod yet lol. Congrats on your purchase though! |

That's the Tire Pressure Management System. You may have a faulty sensor in one of the wheels, a dead battery in one of the sensors, or may even be missing the sensors if the prior owner put different wheels on it.

Well, it's a 550i, with the NA N62 V8, so no turbos there.
