2014 BMW 550i Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2014 BMW 550i covers Base, Luxury and M Sport versions of a four-door sedan, all with the same turbocharged 4.4L DOHC V8 of 268 cubic inches on gasoline. One engine across three trims means the engine chapters are read the same way whichever car is in the bay. The differences sit in the suspension, interior and equipment, and those are handled in the chassis and body sections with their own procedures, torque values and wiring diagrams.

Known issues on the 2014 550i. Two recalls appear on the federal record. One covers a driver's air bag inflator that can rupture when it deploys, throwing sharp metal fragments at the people it is meant to protect. The other concerns rear reflex reflectors that reflect too little light, making the car less visible from behind. Six complaints are logged, two on air bags, two on the fuel and propulsion system and one on the engine. Restraint wiring, fuel delivery diagnostics and engine specifications are all set out in this manual.
