Replying to: gooseman (May 02, 2006 5:52 am) I believe the recommended octane rating for most BMWs is 91, so you should be fine there.. |

Replying to: cmybimmergo (Mar 16, 2006 6:18 am) Sorry for delay mom had open heart surgery. Anyway I have a 99 540i. Steering is way too stiff. Not a one hand handling car. I like the feel of the road too. I see people much older then myself driving these cars thinking there is no way they would want to work this hard to get car to perform. Please advise Wisdom

Hello all...the tailgate on my 1999 528I just stopped working. The window does open & works just finde, but the tailgate motor just starts & stops (almost sighs.) The fuses are good...any ideas? Will I need a regulator? Or does it just need to be reset and cycled?

Replying to: sailracer (Mar 07, 2006 9:43 am) One issue my wife had was hooking the front air dam over parking curbs. The car is very low as in sporting. No trouble in 4 years of ownership. Great motor and trans. Traded to an S-430 4-Matic sedan. |

A national personal finance magazine is looking to interview consumers who have recently purchased (within the past year) a new 2006/2007 BMW 5 Series and would like to talk about your new car. Please send an e-mail to ctalati edmunds.com no later than Thursday June 22, 2006 by 2:00 PM PST/5:00 EST containing your daytime contact information with the year of your 5 Series. Thanks, Chintan Talati Corporate Communications Edmunds.com |

Replying to: 1wisdom (May 03, 2006 7:26 pm) As far as the steering goes, if you still have doubts about yours, I would have someone look at it. FWIW, I don't consider my steering to be a one-handed affair, but I don't know how stiff is too stiff for you...and anyway I have the 530i which has rack and pinion--unlike yours. Why don't you see whther you can find a similarly equipped 99 540i for sale and take it for a test drive?

| Would anyone offer advice on how to choose a year and model 525 vs 530 Certified wagon? I am interested in joining the ranks of BMW owners. | |

Hello there. Wondering if there's a "better year" and better powertrain for various iterations of the BMWs with sport packages. Have heard the 2000-2002 540i Sports have an inferior engine than 2003s. Am looking to buy used or "certified" or something that has a transferrable warranty to 100k. Thanks! |
