MY CAR KEEPS OVERHEATING AND STALLING OR WHEN I ACCELERATE IT WILL NOT GO, I HAVE TO STOP TURN CAR OFF AND TRY TO GO BUT THE TEMP GAGE IS NOT OVER 250 DEGREES WHEN THE DISPLAYS SAYS MY CAR IS OVERHEATING

TAKATA RECALL- HAVE NOTIFIED GLOBAL IMPORTS OF MARIETTA/ATLANTA GEORGIA EVERY MONTH SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. THEY WILL NOT RETURN CALLS OR MAKE APPOINTMENT. THEY INFORM ME THAT I WILL GET EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE AND I NEVER DO. CAN YOU HELP?

BOTH OF MY REAR ALUMINUM WHEELS HAVE CRACKED WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENTS OCCURRING OR EVEN ANYTHING OTHER THAN NORMAL DRIVING. BOTH TIMES MY TIRES NEEDED REPLACED. I HAVE OWNED 20 CARS IN MY LIFE AND NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A WHEEL. NOW WITH THIS BMW I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 WHEELS TO ENSURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO MY REMAINING TWO WHEELS. IN MY DISCUSSIONS AT TIRE CENTERS THIS IS SAID TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH BMWS AND IN MY OPINION IS CONSUMER FRAUD. *TR

AIR BAGS DO NOT FUNCTION AS PER THE RECALL. BMW HAS NO SOLUTION TO FIX THE AIRBAGS. THEY WILL NOT TAKE THE CARE BACK
