Someone I trust stated their is a recall on the E60's in the US due to throttle sticking. Does anyone know if their is any validity to this? I called my dealer and they haven't called back yet.

I stopped at the dealer to discuss an audio system problem. They told me I would need to make an apointment but it was good timing since there was a recall on the 5er for an "engine adjustment". The service advisor thought it was an engine computer adjustment but it could be for a throttle problem.

I dropped off the car for service tonight. I'll let you know what the recall is for when I get the car back - hopefully tomorrow

BTW - the 330i loaner is nice but it's no 545!

Does this apply to the 525i?
