Replying to: abuck (Dec 16, 2008 9:04 am) Changes yes, significant, no. The grill and rear have been tweaked as was the controls on the dash with 6 preset buttons available for the audio system. There are wood insets below the audio controls over the console. The inside door panels were redesigned as were the window switches. The iDrive was slightly upgraded although not drastically as on some '09 models. BMW makes numerous upgrades mechanically that are not appreciated when seen. The negative on these changes has been a poorer score for side impact collisions.

Replying to: carnaught (Dec 17, 2008 2:27 pm) Meaning the actual knob and buttons. Nothing has changed about the display or menus.

I have a 2001 BMW 525i with 45000 miles, mostly highway, on it. I bought it new and have had very little problems with it until now (of course, the warranty both manuf. and extended have expired)....stalling problems were diagnosed by the dealer as needing a new cam sensor. He also said I needed a valve cover gasket as it was beginning to leak. With only 45M miles?? Am I being shammed??? I haven't seen any evidence of oil on the garage floor.....I retired last year and probably only drive the car once a week....should I believe them and have it replaced or hang tight and see what happens? Thanks for any advice you can give.
