[b]Well it has been two weeks from the delivery date and now it is at the dealer for a new Flat Tire Moniter Module..!!
My wife like Lexus and now she is saying " I told You so" I had a 2004 525 and it was in the shop it seems like every two months for some electronic malfunction and it seems like here we go again..
NOTE: My wife liked the Lexus GS 350 and we do have a GX470 and it has only been in the shop for oil services in the last two years
I do hope this is not a omen of things to come for my 2008 528..!!!

It is not. BMWs are great cars and very satisfying to own and drive.

My Lexus went into the shop more often than my BMW... haha what does that mean?
Granted it only went in for a new CD changer cuz it ate my CDs and never gave it back. E60... no problems... *knock on wood 545 times*

My wife has a Honda SUV that has never been to the shop. My BMW has gone to the shop around 25 times, I still prefer my BMW and would never want to switch to a Honda (Or Lexus for that matter)

I have an '08 528i with Sport and Dunlop run flats. I now have 6000 miles. At around 5,500 miles I received a warning for the front left tire. It looked ok and there was no pulling in the car so I just re-set the monitor to see if it would come back on. Low and behold, the next day, it came back on. I inflated the tire, and it hasn't come back on. Then, today, the warning for the right front monitor came on. I filled the tire and re set the monitor. My tire place where I work (who is a tire specialty shop and who has always done my tire work) told me to fill all 4 tires to 40, despite the manual, and which I have now done. Hopefully it all works out............
