This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Under normal driving I started to hear and feel a 'clunk' type noise when engaging the car into gear. Took the car to my mechanic to inspect and he found some cracks in the rear subframe along with the differential mounts being pratically torn off.
Differential mounts to frame have 'torn away' @ 40K miles and a second time @ 60K00miles. BMW is fixing it a 2nd time and covering cost. Car is 4door, manual and otherwise has been the perfect car. Estimated time to fix at BMW is 4-5 weeks.
