2006 BMW 5 Series Review
"BMW's midsize car gets available all-wheel drive, a wagon body style, and more-powerful 6-cyl engines for 2006. The lineup consists of 525i and 530i sedans and wagons, all-wheel-drive 525xi and 530xi sedans and wagons, and the 545i sedan. The 525 models swap a 2.5-liter 184-hp inline six for a 215-hp 3.0; the 3.0 in 530 models gains 30 hp to 255. The 545i, which remains unchanged as a 2005 model, has a 325-hp V8. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard and a 6-speed automatic is optional on all. Optional on the 530i and 545i is a 6-speed sequential manual transmission. SMT is essentially a clutchless manual operated via console lever or steering-wheel paddles; it can also be set to shift like an automatic.
Standard features include ABS, antiskid/traction control, front side airbags, and front and rear head-protecting tubular side airbags. Rear torso side airbags are optional. Also standard are BMW Assist emergency and concierge service and a tire-pressure monitor. All models have BMW's iDrive, which uses a console ""joystick"" knob to control entertainment, navigation, communication, and climate functions. The 525i has 16-inch wheels; 530i and 545i have 17s. Options include a sport suspension teamed with run-flat tires, BMW's Active Roll Stabilization designed to counteract body lean, and BMW's Active Steering that electronically varies steering ratio and assist. Also optional are head-up instrument display, satellite radio, and adaptive cruise control designed to maintain a set following distance. A navigation system, front and rear obstacle detection, heated front and rear seats, and xenon headlights round out the available features.
Due in fall 2005 is the return of the high-performance M5. Powered by a 500-hp V10, the M5 will have a 7-speed SMT, unique sport suspension tuning, and 19-inch tires. Pricing for the 2006 5-Series was not available in time for publication, but BMW says all-wheel drive will cost about $2000."

| Summary | BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2008-2013 1 Series Coupe (128i); 2007-2013 3 Series Coupe (328i, 328xi, 328i xDrive); 2007-2010 X3 SAV (X3 3.0si, X3 xDrive30i); 2008-2013 1 Series Convertible (128i); 2006-2011 3 Series Sedan (325i, 325xi, 328i, 328xi, 328i xDrive, 330i, 330xi); 2006-2012 3 Series Wagon (328i, 328i xDrive); 2007-2013 3 Series Convertible (328i); 2006-2010 5 Series Sedan (525i, 525xi, 528i, 528xi, 530i, 530xi); 2006-2007 5 Series Wagon (530xi); 2007-2010 X5 SAV (X5 3.0si, X5 xDrive30i); 2006-2008 Z4 Coupe (Z4 3.0si); and 2006-2011 Z4 Roadster (Z4 3.0i, Z4 3.0si, Z4 sDrive30i) vehicles. The heater for the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve may short circuit. |
| Consequence | An electrical short can cause the PCV valve heater to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire while driving or, soon after driving when parked. |
| Remedy | This recall supersedes and expands previous NHTSA recalls 17V-683 and 19V-273. Vehicles previously repaired under the prior recalls will need to come back for the new recall remedy. The remedy is currently being developed. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 25, 2022. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. |
