My Ride: 2005 545i
As loaded as it can come...hud, cw package, f/r heated seats, 20 inch oem style 32 (deep dish),conv package, etc. etc.....
Mods: smoked side markers, black painted calipers

OP, how did you not notice this issue when you test drove the car before purchase?
Did you have this 545 inspected by the BMW dealership before you bought it? If so, why was this issue not found then?
Did you purchase your 545 from the BMW dealership(the one you are taking it to for service) or an independent dealer?

My Ride: 07 550i, Sports Package, Logic 7, Manual Trans.07 Toyota Tundra CrewMax 4x4; 09 HD CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide
I bought my 07 550i privately, had it inspected at BMW and all good! Beautiful car! The next day the Clutch went out, front control arms were deamed bad, seat controls failed, sunroof started to rattle constantly. Less than 18 hours in and then three weeks in the shop. Only 62k on the car...back for a week and now the tilt steering has failed and the wiper fluid is leaking profusely from the engine bay. One owner, clean carfax, inspected, and I feel your pain. This was my 40 bday present to myself, and it has been expensive and upsetting. So far 6 grand in repairs....anxious to get it back, but what next. BMW told me they did not find these issues.....I flew to Chicago to get the car then drove it home. All this happened once I got home to KC. Got rid of a problematic Benz for this car. Thankfully I have a Tundra to keep me on the road as this POS keeps falling apart.
