Replying to: carnaught (Apr 03, 2008 4:41 pm) I don't have either of those problems. I'm guessing you probably have the vents blowing directly in your face? I don't. I like for the air to circulate through the car and to be cooled by the ambient temperature from it. Yes, if I aim the vents to blow directly at me, thereby hogging cool air from everybody else, then it'd probably freeze me out, too. I have an ex that does that. She has all the vents blowing at her in the warm months (April through November, sometimes December and January) and the rest of the car is a heatbox. I used to not like riding in her car at all in the summer.  If I'm in the car for an hour or more, I'm sure it'd be fine. But my daily commute is around 15 minutes. By the time I pull in the garage at home, the vents are still blowing high, and the interior is still not all that cool. Bear in mind that I got the car this past NOVEMBER (read, the cooler part of the year) and I already have complaints. I fear it'll be hellish come June/July/AUGUST!  The Parked Car Ventilation is going to get some serious workouts this Spring/Summer.

Does anyone on here have a 95 525i? How many miles do you have on your car? Mine has 128,000. I just got it, and I hope to keep it for a couple hundred thousand more!

Replying to: stephenabelson (Apr 15, 2008 4:42 am) I don't own one, but I have a friend who ran his 1989 535i past 300,000 miles. Just follow the maintenance schedule to the letter and you should have no problem reaching your mileage goal... |

sorry to be redundant but does anyone know if they are going to be making changes to the 550 anytime soon. Placed a refundable order but just second guessing myself. Of course the salesman says not for another 4-5 yrs  Thanks for ANY guidance My Best |

| I just test drove a 2008 528i over the weekend. The car handled very well and was very responsive. However, there seemed to be a lot of "wind noise" or a light whistling sound when I drove on the highway environment, speeds greater that 50 MPH. It was not a leaking door gasket or window, it appeared to be generated by the air moving over the top of the car above the windshield. Before the test drive I was convinced this was the car I wanted, now I'm not so sure. Has anyone else experienced this condition and is there a remedy? | |

Replying to: tomy3 (Apr 15, 2008 7:04 pm) That said, I loosely remember there was wind-noise commentaries (relative to the 5-Series?) posted in some trend here in Edmunds a couple of years ago. May be some other poster can be more precise than I am being. Regards, Jose |
