i waited freakng over 2 months for a service~ today was the day so i took my car
to dealer,i don no which sw version i had,mines 2/04 production and never ahd
any upgrade, i thought california doesnt have version 15 yet but i asked him which
version they have and he said latest 15. so i was happy about that. i also told him
accelration delay and brake, steering wheel noise. but i forgot to tell him nasty
smell from air condition. They gave me a silver x3 3.0 for a loaner vehicle. the car
has no sunroof, no xenon, fake leather seat and is a gas eater~~ so im not happy
wit my loaner vehicle. wish they fix all the problems~ I'm already missing her :'(

I took my 545i in for the emission recall (mandatory in CA) on Tuesday and it was completed today. The SA told me that I have CIP version 13.3 because version 15 had been "recalled" by BMW. I had a X3 2.5 loaner with the panoramic sunroof and it was a gas eater....

Also, I take back what I wrote earlier about the acceleration lag being gone with V15. It's definitely still there. Maybe just because I have been taking it easy because of the weather lately though.

They have given my wife a Toyota Corolla! Count yourself lucky it's been gone a week to replace the single cd player.

[/quote]Recalled my butt! You're SA is clueless. HE may have forgotten how to install the latest E60 SW from his CIP 15 and so he installed whatever SW version is on CIP 13.3.
15.0 - 15.2 are all the same for the E60, and there is no recall.

I wish I was back there instead of going through this miserable winter here. One day my car is clean and the next it's dirty again.
Note to self: move back to the West
