Hi, my name is Ariel, i'm from Argentina.
This is my second BMW, came from a 120i, and I just bought a 2006 550i E60, with M Kit.
I just love this car, how it goes, power and speed, it's f***ng awesome! but I have some questions.
- Is it possible to upgrade iDrive and it's screen? It came with the very first versión of iDrive, and screen is very small.
- Also, it does have Logic 7 sound system, but ampli has all rear speakers not working. I tried on a dealer with another ampli, and every speaker works, but with mine, all rear speakers don't, so I'm planing on putting another ampli, I have a digital 5 channel Alpine. Do I have to change also the speakers for the Alpine, or the ones that came on the car are good enough?
- And last but not least, I'm having problem with the break, after I push it, it breaks for a couple of seconds, but still pushing the break, it feels like pressing a rock, and I have to push it real hard to make the car break.
Does anyone know what might be?
Thanks in advance for sharing you knowledge with me![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)

Early on, the line from the Vacuum pump to the booster was replaced because there was a possibility of oil from the v pump getting into the booster. Some time after the line was changed, the same problem happened in my car as you described. the booster was replaced for about $1,400.00.00. Not fixed, you can or will crash the car. Good Luck.
