My Ride: 04 BMW 545i Sport Package Premium Package White Angel Eyes HID Fog Lights
Default

Hi guyes.. ive been reading the forums and it seems a few of you have experienced sluggish response from a dead start.. and it seems like the the fix is to get a software update from BMW? Does anyone know how much this actually cost or if its a DIY type deal? any input would help.

Thanks
