My Ride: 2003 X5 3.0----->gone
2004 Porsche Cayenne S : Gemballa front and back bodykit, fabspeed bypass pipes, Gemballa exhaust pipes, full option, 20" factory sport design rims------>gone
2005 545i 6-spd manual---->de-badged, CDV removal, Autosolutions short shift kit, resonator removal, premium package, PDC, xenon, almost full options, hardwire V1 install ....looking for mods...
2007 550i 6-spd----> Premium package, sport package, Logic7, heated everything, Rogue Engineering SSK, CDV removal, hardwire V1 install, aFe cold air intake, Custom Magnaflow exhaust....
I had my 545 for 16,000 miles. If I am not mistaken, the service engine lihgt should go on at 15K miles for regular service right? Mine has not gone in 16,000 miles and dealer told me that I have about 14,000 miles to go and will NOT touch my car. I have brought my car to my mechanic friend to change it and he said he did not reset anything. I smell foul play by the dealer, maybe they do not want to service my car for some reason??? I am confused....

I am gonna print this thing and sove it in their faces....Why can't service people be more honest and notify me of this problem and many others???
And how long does service take usually?? I can;t get a loaner here because I am not 25....sucks. In chicago when i was only 18 I got my X5 serviced and got a 530 loaner....Don't believe me?? Its in BMW of Orland Park where service is so much better compared to my current dealer Herb Chambers.....

Odd my dealer gave me a call before the light came on for service. They asked me to bring the car for service so I did. Is that because my current e60 is leased?

Was it your car that automatically called the dealer? The 5 series has that capabilitiy through BMW Assist.
