My Ride: '05 530i, Premium, Steptronic, Logic7, Silver grey-black leather. Build date 12/7/04.

When my car sits for a while (hours) and I start it up, the brake pedal is very hard. If I have it on an incline, I can almost not prevent it from rolling away, I have to press the break pedal really hard.
As soon as the engine runs, the pedal of course feels normal with the hydraulic assist.
I am not 100% sure, but I didn't think it was like this when I got the car.
My wife's car and our neighbors 525i are not like this.
Is my car loosing pressure? Any data points are appreciated!

Pedals remaining hard for more than four hours may indicate a serious medical condition. See your doctor immediately

God.... I sometimes feel Ford build better car than BMW with the experience I had.
Quality - I would say definitely yes. Kia builds better quality cars by now.
BUT, when it works, oh man, the 545i is one hell of a car!
