I AM YET ANOTHER BMW OWNER REPORTING VALVE VMCOVER GASKET ISSUES. BMW IS NOT BEING MADE TO RECALL THIS PART. ALUMINUM BOLTS THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED AND WERE LATER REPLACED GOING FORWARD BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN FINANCIALLY FOR COUNTLESS OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD TO GET THESE FIXED, AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS LEAKING OIL COULD CAUSE ENGINE FIRES. MAKE THIS RIGHT NHTSA BY HOLDING BMW RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WELL AWARE OF FOR TEN YEARS.

AIR BAG SEAT SENSOR FAILURE. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD MY ENTRY TO THE LONG LIST OF BMW 325 OWNERS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE FRONT SEAT OCCUPANT PROTECTION MAT DEFECT RECALL (SEE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V564000), BUT APPARENTLY ARE NOT. ACCORDING TO BMW, MY CAR WAS MADE A MONTH BEFORE I.E. NOV 2005, THE RECALL DATE PARAMETERS, WHICH STARED IN DEC 2005. THIS INVOLVES A FAULTY PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR MALFUNCTION THAT DISABLES THE AIRBAGS IN 2006 E90 BMW 3 SERIES SEDAN. BMW RECALLED PREVIOUS YEARS SENSORS BUT HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE IN LATER MODELS. THERE ARE PLENTY OF FOLKS AFFECTED BY THIS: SEE HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/BMW/325/2006/ACCESSORIES-INTERIOR/SEATS.SHTML NTSB, PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ASAP! AND THANKS!

PASS. RESTRAINT SYSTEM FAULT MESSAGE. FEW DAYS WENT BY WITH THIS FAULT MESSAGE COMING ON AND OFF. NOW ITS CURRENTLY STAYING ON. AFTER SEARCHING ON THE WEB, I'VE FOUND MANY OTHER BMW OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, BUT ONLY A FEW MODELS ARE COVERED UNDER RECALL (08V384000). AFTER SEARCH MY (VIN) SHOW NO CURRENT RECALLS. RECALL (08V384000) STATES 2006 YEAR 3-SERIES. HOW CAN THIS ONLY BE LIMITED TO SOME 2006 ,BUT NOT OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS? VEHICLE HAS AROUND 86K MILES. THANKS
