Do you by any chance post on any of the home theater forums, such as AVS?
 
I've posted a couple of questions on the AVS Forum, but most of the time I'm in lurk mode; I've been able to find the answers for most of my questions by using the Search function.

Are you saying there IS a dipstick???? I believe you got your 550 a few weeks after I did, so I'm assuming you also have an '08 model. I'm gonna have to get in there this evening and check it out!

Yes tayl0rd... there is!!! It is on the right side close to the firewall. It has a black plastic cap that is flat... looks like some wiring that had been capped off. It does not have the normal "handle" dipsticks have.
 
Just keep looking, you'll find it!

If I knew how to post a photo on this site I would show where the dipstick is. Why aren't the instructions printed somewhere? ">link title

I just checked. (notice the time, BTW) There sure as heck IS one! Right where you said it would be. It's a black handle.

Logic7 vs. standard stereo by maril556

Can somebody describe a difference b/w Logic 7 and the standard system in 535i?
I have 545i with Logic 7, so I know what it is. I'm just not clear about how basic system is different?
Different head unit? Different speakers? amplifiers? subwoofer?
I do realize, that the basic system will not have various surround mods and an equalizer.

ODOMETER by eastburg5

Hi All,
 
I recently placed a down payment on a 2001 525 BMW from a non-BMW dealer. The vehicle has 17,300 miles, but the rear brake pads are worn down and it looks like the front pads have just been replaced. Skeptical of the mileage, I took it to a BMW dealer who checked the mileage on the key FOB and it indicated 17,300 miles. I do know that the one previous owner drove the car in the city. My first question is whether its likely that the brakes could be this worn in so few miles? Also, I was wondering whether key FOB is an accurate indicator of true mileage, or whether it simply repeats what is on the odomoter? How difficult would it be for someone to turn back the mileage?
 
Also, I've heard that its usually necessary to replace brake rotors when the pads are replaced. Is this true, or are there ways to replace pads before the rotor is worn?
 
Thanks!
SRE
