ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I TOOK MY CAR TO THE BMW DEALERSHIP IN 2012 BECAUSE I NOTICED OIL IN MY GARAGE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO OIL LEAK AND NOTHING WAS WRONG. I REPORTED IN 2013 THAT THE 'ADD OIL' INDICATOR WAS COMING ON LESS THAN 2,000 MILES AFTER AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING FOUND THAT NEED SERVICING. IN 2014 I TOOK MY CAR BACK BECAUSE MY OIL INDICATOR STATED I NEEDED TO ADD OIL AND I WAS TOLD I HAD AN OIL GASKET ISSUE THAT WOULD COST $11,000 TO CORRECT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS NEVER TOLD OF ANY PROBLEM UNTIL AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE SAME IS TRUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION; I HAD MY CAR SERVICED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BUT WASN'T TOLD OF A TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION UNTIL THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. I HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY 3 TO 4 WEEKS AND MY OVERDRIVE IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. NOW I AM EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR; IT WON'T CLOSE AT ALL BUT I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THE DOOR MALFUNCTION.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS VEHICLE HAS BECOME A MONEY EATING ONE. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH A JOLT. THE CAR WOULD MAKE A JUMPING FORWARD MOVEMENT SIMILAR TO BEEN HIT FROM THE BACK. I TOOK TO SEVERAL MECHANICS INCLUDING BMW DEALER AND MADE SERVER REPAIRS BASE ON RECOMMENDATIONS BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. EVENTUALLY, THE CAR WILL CUT OFF AND SHIFTS FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK TO BMW DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE PROBLEMS WAS NOT IDENTIFIED SO NO SOLUTION WAS POSSIBLE. AT ONE POINT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM DIED AND I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT I NEEDED A NEW ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY - THIS DID NOT STOP THE PROBLEM. EVENTUALLY, I WAS TOLD BY THE BMW DEALER THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I TOOK TO LOCAL TRANSMISSION PERSON WHO INSTALLED A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WAS OK FOR A FEW DAYS THEN ANOTHER PROBLEM OCCURS. WHEN IN PARKING POSITION THE LEVEL DOES NOT GO TO P IT SHIFTS TO N - AGAIN! AFTER I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE CAR IS ACTUALLY IN PARK BUT HE HAS NO IDEA WHY THE COMPUTER IS NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING. I AM GOING CRAZY WITH THIS SITUATION AND WISH BMW WOULD DO SOMETHING BECAUSE THEIR CARS ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE BUT INSTEAD OF GETTING THE VALUE I ENDED UP GETTING A MONEY EATING VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS
I STARTED GETTING AN ERROR ON MY I-DRIVE ABOUT A MONTH AGO STATING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY AIR BAG/RESTRAINT SYSTEM AND FOUND THE RECALL NOTICE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT BMW CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, AND WAS FORCED TO PAY USING MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I ENDED UP HAVING TO PAY $260 OUT OF POCKET AFTER DEDUCTIBLE AND EXTRA CHARGES BECAUSE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY DID NOT WANT TO PAY THE HIGH HOURLY LABOR RATE OF THE DEALER. SO I HAD TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE. I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE NHTSA SITE & THEY SAID THAT UNLESS BMW HAS IT IN THE SYSTEM SHOWING THAT IT AFFECTS MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE, IT IS NOT VALID... *TR

I HAD MY CAR TO THE HUNTERDON BMW DEALERSHIP 8 TIMES FOR MY CAR REFUSING TO LEAVE NEUTRAL. THEIR FACTORY BMW ENGINEERS CHECKED THE CAR TWICE AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS, THE MECHANICS COULD NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY JUST KEPT REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTERS TILL IT RAN. I FINALLY GAVE UP SINCE BMW REFUSED TO HELP ME. I TRADED THE CAR IN ON 4/1/13 BECAUSE I FEARED IT WOULD STOP RUNNING AGAIN, AND BOUGHT A CADILLAC. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS I RECEIVED PEANUTS FOR MY CAR BECAUSE OF IT HISTORY, NO DEALERS WANTED IT, THEY KNEW IT WAS A LEMON. SO BMW SOLD ME A LEMON AND I ENDED UP WITH A WORTHLESS CAR, AND A YEAR LATER THEY ADMIT IT WAS A PROBLEM. THEY KNEW ALL ALONG BY THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS THAT THEY HAD A PROBLEM, AND IGNORED IT. THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON WEB PAGES COMPLAINING, AND ALL OF THEM WERE IGNORED BY BMW. *TR
