I had a horrific experience with my brand new 330XI in 2003 I experienced much difficulty getting the car to shift beyond first gear(automatic transmission YET!) when car was 2 months old..After many trips (7 which were 40 miles round trip )to dealership of purchase service dept...was given reports of no problem with test drive nor computer generated scan!!! Yet this vehicle continued to become more dysfunctional as weather changed & outside temp dropping. BMW of North America and dealership, continued to string me along despite many attempts to remedy the situation. By Jan'04 car was 4 months old and barely drivable..Took 5 hours to get home from 20 miles away during a snowstorm as car barely budged. I, by then was disgusted, frustrated & had lost considerable income finally I found out from another BMW dealership it was flagged in a service bulletin sent out by BMW of NA, and should not have been sold as those in that batch produced with mine had very serious stepmatic transmission problems. These problems would not have a remedy"fix kit" until late May possibly June'04! What would I drive until then?? I would not find out the true nature of the car's problem had I was not given true answers by dealership of purchase nor BMW of NA!!! I am a Realtor and my cars performance affects my job performance..no go, no show==no dough!I retained an atty as no one would help remedy the situation despite futile attemps to seek remedy from all the above for over 5 months!! With retained atty (for fee of $1500)we negotiated I would trade my dysfunctional 2003 in for same model with same amenities for a new 2004 by then my car had depreciated by $8, 900(despite low mileage 400) but a "good will" credit would be issued to the dealership of trade in by BMW Corp...I traded car goodwill was never issued to me or dealership~ I was held responsible for the $8, 900 discrepancy and was never reimbursed. In addition I had never been compensated for my atty fees, loss time, loss of income, the aggrevation etc...The BMW dealership I traded the 2003 to reported to me the fix kit did not become available until june'04 Really!!! What was I supposed to have driven had I not traded as per the lies of BMW CORP???? Attorney fees would supercede remedy amount and would prove a crap shoot!!That car sat on dealership lot undrivable from first week of Feb- mid June2004 (5 months)and it was so damaged the fix kit was not sufficient. As a result they wholesaled it at an auction as they could not certify it as a Preowned. More than likely it would prove to be a liability with problems!!! I will never do business with BMW ~THEY KNEW THEY COULD AND SO THEY DID! I would like to know how many other owners of that batch of cars have shared my experience if not how was their situation handled-Thank you

says I won a car and 750, 000 GBP. When I did not provide a bank account they said I have 30 days to get to London to claim prize.
I assume this is a scam, yes...

DEAR SIRS,

HEREBY I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY COMPLAINTS & CLAIM AGAINST BMW.
I HAVE A BMW 3.16 Ä° SEDAN AUTOMOBIL WHICH I HAVE PURCHASED IN 2005 FROM KOSIFLER BOSTANCI TURKEY.

BELOW YOU CAN FIND FULL DETAILS OF MY AUTO
TYPE : 3.16 Ä° SEDAN
MODEL : 2005
ENGINE NO : A35OH314
NO : WBAEY11015FJ52180

OWNER NAME : BILUN AKDERI

AT THE MOMENT MY CAR IS AT 58000 KM
(I AM THE 1ST OWNER OF THIS CAR)

ALL THE MAINTENANCE AND SERVICES OF MY CAR HANDLED BY KOSIFLER.

LAST SATURDAY (MARCH 28TH 2009), I SIT DOWN IN MY CAR, I TURNED THE KEY BUT MY CAR DÄ°D NOT START WORKING. IMMEDIATELY I HAVE CALLED BMW AND THEY SENT ME A MOBILE MAINTENANCE TEAM. WHEN THEY ARRIVED AND CHECK THE CAR, THEY SAID THAT IT SHOULD ME MOVED TO THE CAR SERVICE IN KOSIFLER AND IT SHOULD BE CHECK. AT THE MOMENT IT SEEMS TO BE A BROKEN CRANKSHAFT. AND WHEN I ASKED HIM WHAT MAY BE THE REASON; HE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS NOT RELATED WITH THE DRIVER, IT IS FACTORY FAULT.

AND ON THE SAME DAY, THEYTOOK MY CAR WITH A TOWER TO KOSIFLER BOSTANCI AUTO SERVICE. SINCE IT WAS HOLIDAY, THEY COULD NOT SAY ANYTHING.

BUT DURING THE WHOLE HOLIDAY, I MADE A SEARCH ABOUT THE POSSIBLE REASONS OF THIS BREAKDOWN. AND REGRET TO SAY THAT THIS IS AN ‘ILLNESS OF BMW’. AND THIS IS COMPLETELY THE FAULT OF FACTORY. AND I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT BMW IS AWARE OF HIS FAULT AND COLLECTED SOME OF THESE CARS FROM THE MARKET.

BUT THIS IS MY UNFORTUNE THAT I PAID THOUSANDS OF EUROS TO A DEFECTIVE CAR.

TODAY (30/03/09) I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM THE SERVICE ADVÄ°SER (NAMELY MR. FERAMUS DOGAN) AND HE INFORMED ME THAT CRANKSHAFT HAS BEEN BROKEN, AND THERE IS DAMAGE ON CYLINDERS AND TOTAL CLAIM IS EUR 3214 PLUS LABOUR FEES.

MY CAR IS AT 58.000 KM.
AND THIS MALFUNCTION IS NOT RELATED TO DRIVER FAULT. THIS IS COMPLETELY TO PRODUCTION FAULT.

HEREBY I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT I WILL NEVER PAY SUCH A REPAIRMENT FEE BECAUSE OF BMW PRODUCTION FAULT. YOU HAVE SOLD ME DEFECTIVE CAR.
AT THE MOMENT MY CAR IS AT KOSIFLER CAR SERVICE IN BOSTANCI.
THEY ARE ASKING ME THAT MONEY (EUR 3214 PLUS LABOUR FEES.) FOR REPAIRMENT. BUT SINCE THIS MALFUNCTION IS CAUSED BY FACTORY PRODUCTION FAULT, THIS MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE MADE UNDER BMW CAR GUARANTEE.
OTHERWISE I WILL APPLY TO ALL POSSIBLE LEGAL WAYS AND I WILL FILE A CASE AGAINST BMW.

YOU DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO SELL US DEFECTIVE CARS.
WE ARE BUYING BMW CARS TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.

SO I WILL APPRECIATE IF YOU MAKE AN INVESTIGATION THRU KOSIFLER AUTO BOSTANCI TR (www.kosifler.com.tr)

I WILL NOT TAKE MY CAR FROM THERE. ALSO DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION NOW I DO NOT HAVE A CAR, THIS ALSO EFFECTED MY BUSINESS LIFE AND YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO LEAVE ME WITHOUT A CAR.

LOOKING FORWARD TO HEAR YOUR PROMPT REPLY.
