My Ride: 2005 545i ordered - built 1/05 - arrived 3/16/05 . Silver Gray - Biege Interior. Sports Package, Steptronics, Comfort Seats, Cold Weather Package, Rear Fold Down Seats, Sat Radio.
Mods: Seatback Hangar, Trunk Net, Umbrella.
Brought my 2005 545i SP into for standard oil and had mentioned the noise in the front wheel well and the harsh 2-1 shift. Appartently, there is recall for treadwear on my tires and bulletin on the harsh shift. Replaced all tires with new version of a recompounded Dunlops and reprogrammed to latest version of software. What version this is I do know and my service adviser could not tell me.
My car built January 2005 - these are on recall for tire replacement.

The tire replacement issue is old news -- actually, I truly think the tire replacement bulletins are a result of this forum and it's members!
Glad they took care of you...

[/quote]Have your service advisor refer to SI 36 02 05 under the BMW Tire Satisfaction Program.
All four of my tires were feathering with wear on the inside resulting in the strange growling noise.
