Hey fellow E60 owners,

Have you heard of the massive recall on all 5 series cars 2003-2010?

Here are the specifics:

BMW AG is recalling 1.3 million 5- and 6-series cars from the 2003 to 2010 model years. The company says that in rare cases a battery cable covering in the trunk was incorrectly installed. The defect could prevent the car from starting and in extreme cases could lead to a fire. BMW says it knows of no accidents or injuries from the defect. The company said owners will be notified by letter and that the repair should take about 30 minutes.

Thought everyone should know.

I always work on the basis that if I hear hot of the press news on BMW...................then it was probably on here at least a week ago.
