Driving normally, about to make a turn onto a street my power steering fails and I get a light on the dashboard about battery charging malfunction. Upon further investigation it turns out my accessory belt that drives the ac compressor, power steering pump and alternator was completely shredded and not on the pulleys. I have damage to multiple pulleys in my car. My power steering pulley is missing big chunks because of impact with the sub-frame. This is a known service bulletin ( sib 11 09 08 ) the power steering pulley impacts the sub-frame because of motor movement when hitting bumps etc.. this caused my belt to be ripped into shreds and break off big chunks of my power steering pulley.
Rear passenger wheel, cracked again, less than a year before I had to purchase a new wheel due to cracks causing it to shimmy. A year later BMW tells me the same wheel is cracked again causing the car to shimmy. Wheels cost $500. + per wheel. As a result I replaced all the wheels with a set of new american racing wheels, and shimmy has gone. There is a problem with these wheels, I have a four door sedan, not sports package, just standard wheel.
