I brought my car in for scheduled inspection appointment. While at the dealer I was told the tires on my bmw 325i needed rotating. I agreed and I was charged $165 for the service. While driving home, I noticed a loud humming coming from the tires. It was loud enough that I made a second appointment to have it checked out. I was told by the service specialist, ely, at hassel bmw of freeport n.y., that everything was okay. I asked her what was the source of the noise and she stated the tires were "feathering." I informed her that I was concerned because the noise was so loud that I could not have a normal conversation inside the car. She told me that it was normal wear and if I wished to have the tires rotated to the original position. I have since found out that there is a problem with this particular brand and model of tire, what concerns me is the fact that hassel bmw of freeport ny did not bother to inform me of the problem. They knew, I found out, and they still put this brand of tires on their vehicles. I spoke with the manager of the service department,john, and informed him of my findings. I was told that there was an si bulletins, which I had already obtained from a tire specialist, about the irregular tire wear of this type of tire. John informed me that I had no recourse with hassel bmw because my car had more than 20000 miles on it. I told john that I purchased the car with 14775 miles and the car had four new tires installed, and since the car has 28375 miles on it, the tires have about 15000 miles. This seems to be a common problem and hassel bmw seems to think that by quoting the car mileage instead of the tire mileage they do not have to honor the si recommendations. According to the si b 36 06 06 I should be, at a minimum, able to purchase tires at 50% of the value. John told me that I should take this up with bmw of north america, since they are the ones that build the car or the tire manufacturer. His demeanor was very unprofessional.

I own a 2006 bmw 325i with oem bridgestone turanza el42 run flat tires. The tires have been making a loud noise for quite some time with 18k miles on them. I took the car in to the dealer for my first 15k mile service and was informed the tire was not wearing properly and that this has been a common problem with that model tire. The dealer was only willing to pay for 2 new tires. If the tire has a problem I feel it is fair to get 4 of them replaced. I was not able to find a recall on this tire but I felt like it deserved to be investigated based on the amount of people having problems that are posted on various websites. After 6,000 miles on the new tires I notice that the front tires are showing excessive wear and tear and I am going to take it back to the dealer. I believe these bridgestome turanza el42 run flat tires have serious manufacturing problems and neither bmw or bridgestone would admit it. I think this model tire needs to be investigated before we buyers have to replace these every 6,000 miles are so. Bmw should own up to the problem with these tires and replace them with better tires at no cost to the consumer. Given the price of these cars dealing with tire issues every six months is unacceptable.

I own a '06 3 series with the sport suspension and I have barely put 11k miles on the car when I started to notice a loud humming noise. I took the car to the dealer and I was told that it was a tire issue and that they needed to be replaced. I currently have an issue driving the car in rain or snow if the car continues to have cupped tires and I should not have to pay $1500.00 because of bad tires or suspension.
