I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN JUNE OF 2019. I RECEIVED A CARFAX REPORT BEFORE THE PURCHASE. THE CAR WAS VERY CLEAN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. I WAS PLEASED WITH TH CAR UNTIL IT STARTED SMOKING EVERY TIME THE ENGINE GOT WARM. I HAD TO KEEP ADDING OIL ALMOST EVERY TWO TO THREE DAYS. EVERY TIME I STOPPED, FOR TRAFFIC , RED LIGHT OR STARTED FROM A STOP POSITION BLUE SMOKE WOULD COME FROM EXHAUST AND THERE IS A HORRIBLE SMELL OF BURNT OIL AND ANTIFREEZE. MY CAR PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORST UNTIL WHITE SMOKE STEAM WOULD COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND EVERY TIME I DROV E SHORT DISTANCES I WOULD HAVE TO ADD ENGINE COOLANT. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, I HAD TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGED AND A CHECKUP AT THE BMW DEALERSHIP IN APRIL,(THE CAR WAS SMOKING AND SMELLING LIKE ENGINE COOLANT. I WAS INFORMED THEN THAT THERE HAD BEEN AN LAWSUIT AGAINST BMW FOR NOT ADVISING THE OWNERS OF CERTAIN MODELS AND ENGINES WOULD HAVE THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD IF I HAD BROUGHT MY CAR IN BEFORE FEB. 2020, I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE BENEFITS ENTITLED TO OWNERS OF THIS ENGINE. BUT BECAUSE I DIDN'T BRING MY CAR IN, TIME HAD EXPIRED. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR WHICH PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED FOR AND WERE LATER ADDED TO MY VEHICLE BY THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THE LAWSUIT RELATING TO THE ENGINE PROBLEMS BY THE SELLING SHEA USED CARS, FORMALLY PATSY LOU, MEGA LOT OR GRAND BLANC MOTORSPORTS (BMW DEALERSHIP) THAT INFORMED IN APRIL ABOUT THE LAWSUIT. IF I HAD BEEN NOTIFIED REGARDING MY CAR I WOULD RESPONDED APPROPRIATELY. NOW TO PROPERLY FIX MY CAR I NEED $15,227.38 . I AM OF COURSE NOW PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I CAN'T ENJOY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUED. ANY AND ALL HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

MY CAR DOORS ARE LOCKED AND CAN'T BE OPENED AT ALL! IN THE PAST, I'VE BEEN LOCKED INSIDE THE CAR AND COULDN'T GET OUT UNLESS I STOP THE CAR, TURN IT OFF, ROLL DOWN MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW, AND STICK THE KEY IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, AND MANUALLY TURN IT TO UNLOCK IT. NOW MY DOORS WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. MANUALLY OR ELECTRONICALLY. NONE OF THEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE A SEVEN YEAR OLD SON THAT RIDES WITH ME IN MY CAR ALL THE TIME. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND TAKEN OFF OF THE STREETS FOR GOOD. THEY'RE ARE POTENTIAL DEATH TRAPS!

I PURCHASED THE 2010 BMW 750 LI IN OCT 2017. IN APRIL 2018, I BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES AND MESSAGES CONSTANTLY POPPED UP CONCERNING ENGINE TEMP DRIVE MODERATELY AND DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION. I KEPT THE CAR'S MAINTENANCE UP, HOWEVER, EVEN A WEEK AFTER AN OIL & FILTER CHANGE, I'D GET THE LOW OIL WARNINGS & NEEDED TO ADD OIL CONSTANTLY. OIL WAS LEAKING BAD. THE CAR WOULD GET UP TO 35-40 MPH (BETWEEN 1 & 2 RPM) & START SHAKING OR WOULDN'T SHIFT OVER. I'D HAVE TO PRESS ACCELERATOR DOWN TO ACCELERATE TO ATLEAST 70 MPH SO THE SHAKING & VIBRATION COULD STOP. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A BMW REPAIR SHOP IN 08/28/2018. IGNITION COILS, SPARK PLUGS, OIL CHANGE, FILTERS, ALL WERE REPLACED. BRAKE FLUID WAS FLUSHED AS WELL. THE OIL ISSUE NEVER STOPPED. AFTER MONTHS OF ADDING OIL EVERY FEW DAYS, THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE BMW SHOP (APRIL 2019). AT THAT POINT, I WAS TOLD TO TAKE TO THE BMW REPAIR SHOP DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED & THEY PERFORMED THE N63 ENGINE RECALL REPAIRS IN MAY 2019. THE SMOKING SUBSIDED, BUT IN JULY 2019, THE CAR WAS BACK IN BMW'S REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE IT HAD NOW GOTTEN THE SAME READINGS BUT IT HAD ALSO BEGUN TO SMOKE BADLY, UPON STARTING, STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. ALONG WITH ENGINE TEMP LIGHTS, AND DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AGAIN. ENGINE TEMP LIGHT CAME ON EVERY DAY AS SOON AS I CRUNK THE CAR. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME IT WOULD GO OFF IN JULY 2019, AFTER THE REPAIRS. DECEMBER 2019, ENGINE TEMP LIGHT IS STILL ON. AGAIN, SEVERAL LIGHTS ARE NOW ON. DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION ALSO AND THE CAR IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, AS BEFORE. IT'S VIBRATING AT 35 MPH. BECAUSE IT'S THE HOLIDAYS, THE BMW DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT ARE CLOSED. FIRST THING TOMORROW, I WILL BE BACK THERE. I HAVE TO WORK AND AFRAID THAT THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY GIVE OUT ON ME. IT'S ALL I HAVE. I'M BASICALLY WORKING TO FIX THE CAR!

JUST HAD A NEW FACTORY ENGINE PUT IN MY 2010 BMW 750LI UNDER A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, IN AUGUST 2019. DECEMBER 2019 WIFE WAS DRIVING CAR TO GROCERY STORE AND ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED BUCKING AND SMELL OF GAS WAS OVERWHELMING. SHE WAS IN TRAFFIC AT THE TIME AND COULD NOT MAINTAIN PROPER SPEED ON THE 50MPH HIGHWAY AND LOST TOTAL POWER. SHE NURSED CAR INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. IT WAS SNOWING OUT AND HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK FOR AN HOUR IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. ASIDE FROM THE OVERWHELMING FUEL SMELL, ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT BY NOT BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN PROPER SPEED, SHE WAS WAITING IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES FOR TOW TRUCK. THIS, I FOUND OUT, IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. ITS WAS A FUEL INJECTOR THAT CAUSED THE ISSUE. THIS IS TRUELY A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE PUBLIC. AND AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FIX. BMW HAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL INJECTORS, BUT SEEM TO IGNORE THE ISSUE AND PROFIT HEAVILY FROM THE CUSTOMERS LOSS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

IT KEEPS SAYING THE OIL IS TOO LOW EVEN AFTER DRIVING FOR ONLY ONE WEEK. THIS IS A CONSTANT ISSUE.

IT KEEPS SAYING THE OIL IS TOO LOW EVEN AFTER DRIVING FOR ONLY ONE WEEK. THIS IS A CONSTANT ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 65 MPH MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. A "DRIVE TRAIN MALFUNCTION" WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH INDICATING THAT I HAD REDUCED POWER. MY SPEED WAS QUICKLY REDUCED AND I HAD TO CRUISE TO THE RIGHT LANE. UNFORTUNATELY THE PORTION OF THE NJ GARDEN STATE PARKWAY THAT I WAS ON DID NOT HAVE A SHOULDER. IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT THE GUARD RAIL WAS BROKEN AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD AND PLACE THE CAR BETWEEN THE OPENING BETWEEN THE BROKEN GUARD RAILS. I WAS NOT INJURED OR INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, LARGELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A BREAK IN THE GUARD RAIL. AFTER TOWING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN "EQUIPMENT UPDATE/CUSTOMER CONVIENCE UPGRADE" FOR THE CAR THAT WOULD REPLACE THE FAILED FUEL INJECTORS FREE OF CHARGE. I FEEL THAT THIS CLEARLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS BEING DISGUISED AS AN EQUIPMENT UPGRADE. LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IS ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS. BMW SHOULD NOT WAIT UNTIL THE INJECTORS FAIL TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. OR WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FATALITIES TO CALL THIS WHAT IT IS .. A SAFETY HAZARD!! AS I CHECKED ONLINE FORUMS, MANY BMW OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. BMW IS ALSO TELLING ME THAT THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLEY AND SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE A SHUT DOWN/AND OR REDUCTION OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. *JS

I HAVE A BMW, 7 SERIES 2010 WITH OEM RUN FLAT TIRES. DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF THE LEASE TWO OF THE RUN FLAT'S DEVELOPED BUBBLES AND GAVE OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THESE WERE SIMPLY DUE TO THE CONDITIONS IN MANHATTAN THAT THIS HAPPENED. NOW I NOTICE ANOTHER CLEAR BUBBLE FORMING ON THE SIDE OF THE THIRD TIRE AND MY TOTAL MILEAGE SO FAR IS BELOW 11,000. THIS SITUATION IS ECHOED BY 100'S OF BMW CUSTOMERS ONLINE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. BMW DOES NOT WANT YOU TO CHANGE TO NON-RUN FLAT TIRES, CITING THAT THIS WOULD BE AGAINST THE LEASE TERMS AND YET CONTINUES TO CHARGE $600 FOR EVER TIRE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS NOW JUST A LITTLE MORE THAN FREQUENT. I FEEL THAT BMW IS DOING THIS KNOWINGLY AND THIS IS A BIG SCAM. OVERALL, DESPITE THEIR SAFETY I FEEL THAT THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND ARE WELL KNOWN TO BE JUDGING BY 100'S OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ONLINE BUT BMW CHOOSES TO REMAIN QUIET ABOUT IT. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IF YOUR DEPARTMENT WAS TO TAKE NOTE OF THIS ISSUE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
