As I have learned as I research what I though was an isolated dangerous steering issue is that there are many many bmw z4 dangerously driving on our public roads. My car steers in many directions just driving down the road, especially in hotter weather where as the temperature starts to get hotter it seems that my newly purchased used bmw z4 losses all power steering, its like driving a car that is turned off from the steering perspective. I live in the dallas metroplex so as it been getting hotter I have found out first hand that this car is extremely dangerous to drive with 100% full attention to work the steering. Please have bmw face up to what they know is a serious recall and a matter of life and death on our highways and byways. Sincerely [xxx] owner of a 2003 bmw z4 with less than 30k miles.
