Just got a call from my BMW dealership, Global BMW in Atlanta, GA, telling me there is a recall on my 2005 545i. I already have software v. 20.01.
Does anyone know what this new mandatory recall is about?

Humm there was a post about this... I wonder if its really a recall... maybe they are trying to make the 545 slower to MAKE sure its slower than the 550

some frustration maybe because the 550 was launched shortly after you got your 545 delivered??.......
If I said "No" would that would be a lie.

He mention something having to do with the ignition coils and there is one for each cylinder. Maybe this "Mandatory Recall" is what he was referring to.
