Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Multiple misfiring due to faulty injectors. Bmw has revised the part 12 times. This is a very common and known problem in the EU where a recall was issued.
I was driving on the interstate when my car started to lose acceleration. I could not accelerate up an incline. Then I heard a rattling. The next exit was a rest stop and as I was exiting my vehicle failed and shut down. I had no power at all. I coasted to a parking stall and turned the vehicle off after parking it safely. When I opened the hood the vehicle was not hot or smoking so I tried to start it. The car started but with a very loud knocking and rattling so I shut it off again and phoned the dealership. I towed the vehicle to the dealership over 30 days ago and have not been contacted by them not 1x. I have called weekly to no avail.

Starting with electrical the dash screen has been turning on and off on its own sins I bought the car. Dealer cant replicate problem because it only happens so often. Water pump and gas pump have gave me problems even after they fix it. After recall for heater issues, my car absorbs fumes from the engine. Adviser and supervisor from bmw dealer say that is normal cause that's where the car gets the heat from. Center divider from inside of the car gets extremely hot when I have heater on, to where I can feel the heat go through my jeans. Advisers and supervisor also state that is normal, because exhaust pipes run through there. None of this makes any sense to me. I've called corporate plenty of times through out the years and they tend to help at times. But this time I feel like I have a lemon problem. What can I do?
