PULLED OVER TO LOOK AT THE REMNANTS, REMAINING GLASS LOOKED LIKE THE EXPLOSION WAS PUSHING THE GLASS OUT FROM THE INSIDE. VERY SCARY ON THE HWY.
MY TIRES ARE WORN OUT PAST ACCEPTABLE TO PASS STATE INSPECTION AND YET THE DEALER INSPECTED MY CAR AND PASSED IT AND REGISTERED IT. CHASSIS CORRODED AND WHEELS ROTTING. I BOUGHT THE CAR ON THE 14TYH AND DEALER DIDN'T DELIVER IT UNTIL THE 21ST BECAUSE OF APPARENT MISSING TITLE. THE CAR NEEDED SERVICE AND AIR FILTER AND DURING THE SERVICE, THE OTHER (BMW) DEALER FOUND THE ISSUES ATTACHED. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION LISTING A 90 LIMITED WARRANTY AND WAS WONDERING IF THE PURCHASE DEALER OWES ME TO FIX SOME OF THOSE ITEMS, PARTICULARLY TIRES THAT ARE BEYOND SAFE.
