BMW REAR STRUTS LIFE EXPECTANCY BOTH FAILED ONE AT MILEAGE OF 56924 AND ONE AT MILEAGE 66529. BOTH FAILED IN SAME YEAR DURING COLD CONDITIONS. AIRBAGS WERE POORLY CONSTRUCTED CAUSING TOTAL FAILURE. COST COMBINED FOR BOTH REPAIRS $5256.44 PAID BY OWNER. PARTS AT THAT COST SHOULD HAVE LONGER LIFE EXPECTANCY OR PRICES SHOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH LOWER FOR PARTS THAT DO NO LAST MORE THAN 5 YEARS. DOES BMW OFFER REIMBURSEMENT FOR FAULTY AIR BAGS REPLACED AT OWNERS COST? WHAT IS THE FAIL RATE FOR VEHICLES LIKE THE ONE IN SCENARIO? IS IT A SYSTEMIC ISSUE?

THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. BMW WOULD NOT SELL THE EXACT INJECTORS BECAUSE THE UNIT WAS REDESIGNED BECAUSE THE VERSION THAT CAME WITH THE CAR HAD EXCESSIVE FAILURES. AFTER I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED BMW WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR REPAIRS SEEING THAT I DID NOT HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED BY THEM.
