BMW automatic transmission flaw, recalls? Defective product?
2011年11月18日 · I always thought BMW is a German Quality Product. Not so. The transmission on my GF 6 year old '05 BMW 325i gave suddenly up after about 150k miles.

Repeated DMTL Pump Failures - Car Talk Community
2011年3月21日 · The dealer has replaced the DMTL pump 4 times on my 2004 BMW325. The last time the dealer checked the gas cap and smoke tested the fuel system - all OK. I do not overfill the tank. The pump has failed again and I am getting tired of taking it to the dealer for a new pump. Fortunately it is under warranty but I am sure that there is something else causing these pump failures.

Was Letting A 19 Year Old Buy BMW A Bad Idea - Car Talk …
2010年11月20日 · A 2002 BMW is certainly safer than a 1968 Ford Galaxie. The Ford Galaxie probably had drum brakes, no air bags, and certainly wasn’t designed to crumple in an accident as the BMW is designed to do. The steering, braking and overall handling should make the BMW a much safer car than the 1968 Ford Galaxie.

Smell from vents BMW 328i - Car Talk Community
2015年4月24日 · I am wondering if anyone has suggestions for me. I have a 2011 BMW 328i and I get this sort of burnt chemical smell through the vents when the heat is on.

After that you get the smell on some low level all the time, but it seems to be briefly exacerbated by making a hard turn (i.e. a U-turn). You get a stronger whiff coming out ...
