I purchased my BMW 2016 in October of 2024. The BMW had 109,000 when I purchased it. It now has 112,000, I drove it twice to Dallas, Texas and only occasionally on the weekends, but has been garage kept most of the time since I purchased it from Dodge Bluebonnet Motors, 547 S. Sequin Ave, New Braunfels, Texas 78130, 830‑606‑8500, Soon after I purchased it, i started to hear a knocking underneath the car, I took the car to ProTech for service and the mechanic that specializes in foreign vehicles informed me that the BMW had major front end damage. When I purchased the vehicle from Bluebonnet they did inform me that there was minor collision to the BMW not major. The mechanic stated the BMW would be categorized as a Lemon. I want to return the vehicle and get refunded all of my payments that I have applied for resolution.

Passenger side have no power and passenger restraint failed,
The car caught on fire, starting in the roof. I suspect the cause was electrical. From the time smoke started coming from the headliner/windshield until it was fully engulfed was only about 5 minutes. My girlfriend and I were lucky to get out alive. We were at a traffic light, operating the vehicle at the time on city streets.
