That's it... I knew it! murphy's law works like a charm!

It's Friday, I'm leaving on Tuesday for 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything from the dealer... two days ago he told me he'll call me and the chances are that i'll get delivery by Monday (80-90%)... but he never called...

I think i'm gonna cry... :'(

LOL.... you too?


I dropped my 545i off yesterday for the oil service. They informed me of the recall for software update.

They kept car overnight, because the software reprogram aborted during the day. They tried to reprogram overnight, and it aborted again. So today they tried updating again.

They updated the software, but now my TCU won't communicate with BMW Assist.... so they are keeping the car over the weekend.

On Monday I fly out of town for over a week, so I am thinking the dealer will have to keep my car until I get back.




It's no big deal to me, though. I've got the loaner, and I don't need my car when I leave on this trip. I am flying.

No real reason really... just that how Znod and others have said that V20 made their 545 slower. I'm sure its a safe upgrade...
