What owners report
DOORS DONT ALWAYS LATCH AND A PERSON WAS THROWN FROM CAR, HAVE CALLED DEALER SHIP AND THEY SAID NO RECALL BUT MY CAR IS DOING IT AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM , I NEED MY CAR ADDED TO RECALL LIST ASAP
BLOWS OUT WHILE/BLUISH SMOKE, SHIFTS INTO PARK WHEN IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, WON'T GO FORWARD. TRANSMISSION FAULT LIGHT ON. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PUT OIL IN IT. THERE IS NO REASON WHY I SHOULD BE HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS, I SEE THAT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE OR PURCHASED THIS SAME CAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. I TRULY BELIEVE BMW NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE PROBLEMS. IT'S TERRIBLE THAT ONE WOULD PAY SO MANY CH FOR A LUXURY CAR FOR IT TO HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS.
