Life appears to be changing and not necessarily for the better.
Mine (E61 545i) may well be going up for sale in the next few months, if anyone's interested in details drop me an email.
Pics and details (mileage etc)?Mine (E61 545i) may well be going up for sale in the next few months, if anyone's interested in details drop me an email.
Not that I am buying as I have one, obviously, but this thread needs more pics of the superior 545i!

Didn't we decide pricing was by region or something?
Either way - I ain't having the dealer do it!
Will get the bonnet open this weekend, check access and then order the parts if it looks easy.
GSF will no doubt be 35% off this weekend, so I can grab coils!
Pics please. I'd be interested in knowing what these cost and how easy they are to change.Either way - I ain't having the dealer do it!

Picked this up a few days agoAnd how are you two getting along?
Be honest - they're surprisingly quick right?
What's this down by the seat - a fire extinguisher?
Haven't had the opportunity to test the acceleration, mainly town driving this week.
Yes it is a fire extinguisher. It has it's own supplementary owners handbook. The English section is 9 pages of instructions!

Wouldn't it be better to plug it in and see what cylinder is causing the issue, and just replace that one? As well as all the spark plugs to rule that out.
Personally I'd buy the plugs from BMW unless you can be sure they're the exact same part number.
If one coil is on the way out, there is a far chance the others may be, if they haven't been changed before. I'll check the history but I'd feel happier doing the lot. It hasn't need much spending on it in the last year, so it's a treat.Personally I'd buy the plugs from BMW unless you can be sure they're the exact same part number.
A Google search on the forums suggests those plugs are the recommended ones but I might check.
Haven't ordered yet - will pop the bonnet and take a look tomorrow, order and then do the job next weekend!
