My Ride: 2006 550 SMG
Certain 2006-2007 550 and 650 for Engine Electronics. During conditions of below freezing and low humidity, it is possible for an electrostaic disharge to occur wich could stall the engine. Repair will be attaching two ground cables to the engine compartment.

Yes, I have a '08; however, the 550 engine is carried over from '06 and '07.

Ok guys.
Here is the top part of the SIB. Just enough to search on. Full text with pictures in the Adobe file attached.
This bulletin was originally released in MARCH 07, updated in July and now again in October. However, through the July release it was NOT a recall, only a service action.
SI B12 10 07
Engine Electrical Systems October 2007
Technical Service
This Service Information bulletin supersedes S.I. B12 10 07 dated July 2007.
PERFORM THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SERVICE INFORMATION ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS.
Under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, as amended, if there has been a recall campaign, dealers must assure that all new vehicles and new items of replacement equipment are free of safety defects and comply with all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards at the time of delivery to the consumer. This means that dealers may not deliver new motor vehicles or new items of replacement equipment to consumers unless the safety defect or noncompliance has been remedied before delivery.
(New) designates changes to this revision
SUBJECT
(New) Recall Campaign 07V-479: N62TU - Retrofit Engine Compartment Ground Cables
MODEL
E60, E63, E64, E70 with N62TU produced 03/05-06/07
SITUATION
When driving in certain environmental conditions (ambient temperature below freezing and low air humidity), an electrostatic discharge in the engine compartment may cause electromagnetic interference with the engine wiring harness. Consequently, intermittent engine speed fluctuation and momentarily loss of power may be experienced.
To prevent such a condition, two additional ground cables between the fuel injection rails and ignition coils grounding points need to be installed on both engine banks.
(new) A copy of the customer letter is attached.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Recall Campaign involves 550i/550iA, 650i/650iA coupe/convertible, and X5 4.8iA vehicles with N62TU engines that were produced from 03/22/2005 up to 06/27/2007.
