My Ride: 2002 545i sport pckg,sirius,active steering,grey on black

Just got my 545i back w/ the following

-DME[main computer replaced secondary to hardware failure]

-Valvetronic control module replaced

-#8 cylinder had a misfire that was causing a cold start rattle in am

-hesitation on take off from standing fixed w/ tsb 00-55-147 [?]

-refuel ve [?] fixed per tsb 85-99-00-66

-recode & reprogram vehicle w/ caz[?] module

So now I have a smooth take off and smoother shifts. Also throttle

seems to be more responsive. No cold start rattle,either You may wish to

check these items w/ your dealer.

Thanks vpbmp.

I just posted my v8 problem and then I saw your "v-8 update". That certainly gives me a clue. Hopefully I'll post the service dept's findings next week.
