have some issue with 545i 6 speed
I try to describe my issue as much as I can to you so you can help me to diagnose it. when the car is cold and driving on low speed in first 3 gears i starting feel slight hesitation or slemming or jerking. when i am in gear and release from gas pedal and push it again to gain speed car hesitates for second and starts jerkong kind motion than i have to downshift to get it moving. i am driving this car for 3 years now and never had this problem. once the engine gets warmer and on highway speeds it drives beasty. car is on 119k miles. all fluids replaced friquently. is here anyone with same problem and your opinoin what the coase could be?
thx

My 06 550i was exhibiting similar behavior. Put in 2 cans of BG44k fuel system treatment and had the dealer download the latest ECM updates. Currently at 89k miles, no problems since.

Mine was done under extended warranty in conjunction with resolving an active steering malfunction. I recall that the cost for a dealer to perform a complete ECM software update is in the vicinity of $400 and suspect that an Indy can do it if they have the right equipment.

yesterday.while driving i got check engine off. car was on misfire like missing one or two cylinders
checked the codes on INPA and got these 2E24, 29CC, 29CD. which is misfire on cylinder 1, ignition sequence. relocated the coils on cylinder 1 and 2 but same codes. is this bad coil or wiring. i am going to replace all coils same time which was in my list anyway but want to know if i need new wiring also to order it same time. can the wire be bad? how hard it is to replace the wire?
Thx
