I am not sure but they adjusted something in the intake and the fuel lines. I'll find out for you shortly.

I'm interested in this matter, too.

Intake and fuel lines sound a bit suspisious...

I was talking to shop foreman, and what he told me is that BMW changed the intake design on the 550's versus the 545's. The 545's had something like the Variable intake where the 550's have a totaly different system. As far as what they did i'll only find out on monday.
Will be very happy to post it on here.

Ah, of course, fuel starvation...just realized yours is an 07...You can thank the good folks at CARB (and the me-too regulators here in New York). This could be a sign of things to come, all in the name of clean air.

BTW, did you pay a Gas Guzzler tax on yours? (some irony there...)
