A E60 530d M Sport...

Hi, Neil from Darwen here.. been in Vauxhall land for years and have now taken the plunge in BM land...

I've just put a deposit on the above car.. 08 plate, 48k miles and coming from Approved BMW..

Glad of the warranty in case anything goes wrong (swirl flaps..eeek) the only thing I need to sort out is an ipod connector...

So hi again..and expect questions....

Ta ta... Neil...

Hi. I created my login a long time ago and just forgot to post. I'm back and new again now. Looking forward to contributing and reading about the 5 series. I had a 2004 530i which has been replaced by an 06 M5. We also own the most beloved e39 530i.

New member to this forum. I picked up my black/black '08 535xi just 2 weeks ago. I was cross shopping a 550i and found the 535 much nicer/easier to live with as a daily driver. Now after reading through these and other forums I find out we can bump the hp north of 400 with a relatively simple tune. Who knew?!? Not sure I want to get too extreme with tuning, maybe just a dci system. I love my car!

I just bought my first 5 series with I drive and am already having radio issues after just having it a week.....

I am new to this forum, and I bought a 2003 545i from the Japanese Auction left hand drive.
I was just wondering though if there were any Workshop Manual available for the model I have from my fellow members.

Thanks a lot
Can wait to enjoy

Car is so quick and great so far, my last M3 was rubbish, hope this one makes me stay with BMW this time!

Hi. Newly returned to the BMW family. I have always loved wagons and had a 2000 325 wagon.
Sold my heavily modded Jeep and purchased a 2008 535iX wagon with 41k miles.
few quick questions:
1 anyone run squared 245/40/19s on an AWD platform, and what offset works
2 Anyone put a tow hitch on their wagon? I would like to be able to carry my 4 bikes and MAYBE tow a very light trailer with 1 motorcycle on it
3 Any aftermarket cupholders?

Thanks
Looking forward to getting the wagon just right. Here are my plans:
1 LED angel eye upgrade
2 COBB tuner
3 19" mesh wheels
4 hitch
5 M5 front bumper
6 rear diffuser
7 DONE

hoping to get all this done by next spring. I'll probably get it re-clearcoated when the bumper gets painted.

I have a 2010 550i M Sport with paddle shifters. My left paddle does not shift the car into a lower gear, but the right paddle shifts it into a higher gear. Is this normal, or is the left paddle not operating as it should. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Pilotagm · 02-13-2013, 08:06 PM

Hi I drove over a bump and got a error regarding air bags and restraint system. I got this cleared by a BMW dealer but a couple of months later the same thing happened again. I would like to reset the ecu to clear the errors without having to go to a dealer. Does anyone know how?

rgb129 · 03-06-2013, 03:42 PM

Hi everyone,

I am going to probably purchase a 550i in the near future...in a week or two. I have a couple of questions. What sort of issues have come up with the E60 550? Has anyone heard of major issues with the F10 550?

Thanks!

I think I settled on an E60...I like the look of them better and I feel more comfortable with a NA motor. If I had the turbo, that would lead to modding it.
