If you fold down the seats and you have an exhaust, the sound is even more pronounced

Do you guys have a gaping hole when you fold down the rear cupholders? is there supposed to be a cover into the trunk when cupholders are deployed? lol

Yes. There's a hard plastic cover which covers the ski bag into the trunk.

Is there a way to check the actual air pressures in the tires? All I see on I-Drive is that they are good without an actual reading.

Newer cars like my '16 shows pressure and temperature. First run 13s for sure (I had one) do not have either. You get the info through I drive. Not sure about 14/15.

josec70 · 07-08-2017, 04:40 PM

15 has it as well.

CyclePath · 07-10-2017, 12:40 PM

You can have the tire pressure and temp coded to show on the iDrive screen. Why BMW doesn't automatically gives us these features that are already on the car is beyond my comprehension...

Advantage · 07-10-2017, 01:34 PM

Thanks for the replies guys. I will have it coded next time I bring my car in for service!

Who takes their M5 to the slopes, by the way? Wouldnt you want a truck or SUV with AWD?

Dealer will NOT do it, but there are a bunch of guys on here that can do it for you.
