...glad you are finally on board with the M-sport kit and looks Lomag... perhaps with your influence and the board behind you, maybe you can get BMW NA to offer this darn thing right from the factory??? its rediculous that we have to go all over the place to get this kit installed, which is the best look, imho, for the E60... there is absolutely no reason for BMW NA to hold this back any longer when we can put the kit on after the fact...

JDN: There's only that one group of pressures listed. No table, no nothing, just the front pressure and rear pressure.
Why the change was made, that's what we really need to determine. As far as I know nothing changed technically about the car. BMW is still using Dunlop as the primary tire supplier.. I think I'm going to give them a call tommorrow when I get a chance. We have a trickle charger issue too that after 15 minutes when the car goes to sleep it will no longer charge the battery which stinks!

Wonder if the trickle charger could be connected directly to the battery in the trunk?

There was a way to check the software version on the E60. My build is March 21, 2005 and it seems that they caught the cheat. Is there a way to figure out which CIP version is on my car.

Lomag,
If I remember correctly, the change in the tire pressure sticker was only in the US. I thought that some of our foreign friends were still getting the table. Could someone please verify if they are still getting the table?
Also, is there a different sticker for the RF's, i.e. one pressure reccomendation for the sport package, and different one for those without? Only ask because curious if the RF's need higher or lower pressures than non RF's so I can properly set my non RF tire pressure.
Thanks, and looking forward to pics, especially since it's Mystic Blue.

If in fact there are "new improved" Dunlops that were developed to fix the defect of the older ones could that be the reason for the different tire pressures for the 2005's? If BMW started installing the "New Dunlops" starting with the 9/04 production then this will coincide with the new tire pressure stickers for 2005. Maybe the new Dunlops require higher pressure. Of coarse this is all my speculation and it may not be valid at all, especially if the non-US models still have the old pressure stickers.

saurabh: $1200 paint + install, parts were $1300 from crevier + shipping
rody: That is exactly my theory aswell and the reason I'm sticking with the new pressures. They went through the trouble of changing the sticker for a reason and it must have been a very good reason at that, despite the fact that we can't figure out that reason (yet).
