POWER TRAIN, STEERING, ENGINE
WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER, SINCE THEN MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ALMOST MONTHLY FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE AND THE TRANSMISSION AND STEERING. BMW WRITES ON THE YELLOW SHEET THAT THEY HAVE YOU SIGN WITH WHAT YOU TELL THEM BUT WHEN YOU GO BACK THE INVOICE THAT YOU ARE GIVEN IS DIFFERENT THAT WHAT YOU SIGNED FOR. I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE INVOICE DOES NOT HAVE THE INFORMATION THAT WAS WRITTEN WHEN I WAS IN FRONT OF THE SERVICE ADVISOR. WHICH MEANS THAT WHEN YOU ARE ASKING FOR COPIES OF YOU REPAIR ORDER THE INFORMATION IS DIFFERENT THAN YOUR ORIGINAL COMPLAINT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WANT TO START BY SAYING, I HAVE OWNED 7 SERIES SINCE 1991, MY FIRST PURCHASE WAS THE 735I, 745 AND NOW THE 750I. THE 750I IS BY FAR A MUCH BETTER DRIVING MACHINE, HOWEVER WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH IT, I WISH I WOULD HAVE KEPT MY 745I!!! IT'S BEEN ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER! NOW, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR ROLLING FORWARD OR BACKWARDS WHILE PARK!! IF YOU HIT THE START/STOP BUTTON IT WOULD GO INTO PARK (THE INDICATED "P" LIGHTS UP) BUT THEN THE CAR ROLLS FORWARD DEPENDING ON IF YOU ARE PARK ON A INCLINE/DECLINE. SINCE THAT STARTED, NOW I GET A MESSAGE STATING ?TRANSMISSION FAULT? AND IT WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF 2ND GEAR!!! THE SELF-CLOSE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TOO!!! AT THIS POINT, I WILL NOT ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR THAT SHE WILL GET HURT WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR! IT ACTUALLY ROLLED INTO MY GARAGE DOOR WHILE SITTING IN THE GARAGE!!! I AM SURE THAT I?M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM, THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECT IMMEDIATELY! I HAVE COMPLAINT TO SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS WITHIN BMW AND NO ACTIONS SEEMS TO BE TAKEN TO HELP REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SPENT OVER $10K IN REPAIRS AND CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS!!!! *TR

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
HAVE A 2006 BMW 750I AND WAS OUT RUNNING ERRANDS. I STOPPED AT THE DRY CLEANERS TO GET MY CLOTHING. I ONLY TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES WHILE I WENT INSIDE THE DRY CLEANERS. I PAID FOR MY ITEMS AND WENT TO RESTART THE ENGINE BUT WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE NO MOVEMENT HAPPENED. I SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN COMPLETELY AND RESTARTED IT. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN R FOR REVERSE AND IT SWITCHED BACK TO P FOR PARK. THE VEHICLE AGAIN WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED AND IT DID THE SAME THING NOTHING. I CALLED MY SPOUSE AND HE WAS ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE BY EDGING THE VEHICLE WHILE IN REVERSE MODE. WHILE MY SPOUSE WAS BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE JERKED. I OFTEN NOTICE THAT IF I PARK ON A HILL AND GO IN REVERSE THE VEHICLE JERKS AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE I JUST HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED RECENTLY AND ACCORDING TO THE INSPECTION THAT THE BMW SERVICE DID THE TRANSMISSION IS GOOD. *TR
