My rear left brake caliper started shooting out brake fluid from within the middle. I have an ate caliper. This covers models from about 2006-2014. On bimmerfest.com, E90post.com, etc... many people have had this problem. On rockauto, autozone, etc... the premium recommended replacement is to get a caliper for the rear that has no phenolic piston, yet, instead has a solid metal piston. Unto the worst, at times, the phenolic piston has ejected from the caliper and jammed the brake pads to the very rotors. Ate calipers are often used as single or dual pin booted calipers on Benz. They always have metal pistons. I have premium brakes. My rotors are unharmed, my brake pads are unharmed. There is not a scratch in my rotor. My wheel bearing is gone. My suspension is gone.my sub frame is gone. It flattened my tire. It made me slide coming out of a turn at 15-18mph. My speedometer began wavering up and down, I got a traction control light for the disc. It slid into the side of a curb. The curb has not a mark on it. My car has only paint damage to lower driver side skirt. And small scratch on the front left quarter panel. While we are at it, why is there no regulation that a huge H8 or T8 sized battery not be placed under the rear passenger seat where the child seat goes? your child is sitting on a huge pile of sulfuric acid. They are sealed, but they cook and smell like rotten eggs often. Another bad design. They did that for years. It needs to go in the trunk or somewhere else. That's terrible! it has high pressure external dfi, and a centered fuel tank. The years of the Dodge and lambo lp trial and erros all combined. It's really bad. I have me calling the police to file a report. They denied showing to the scene. I have the calls recorded. I filed an accident report with the tn dept of homeland security; and I have a certified mail receipt. No one else involved. 12:31

Blower motor recall: My car was taken in by BMW the beginning of February for the recall, or so I thought. The person I talked to in the service department alerted me that there was a recall and that my car was under it. A week of them having it goes by and the tech I talk to tells me that, no my car wasnt part of it and I had other issues that they quoted me for but couldnt directly say how they concluded they were faulty, his name was carlos up at classic BMW in willoughby hills, oh. I then tell the sa I refuse to talk to that tech because he doesnt seem to have proper knowledge on the car id like to speak with someone else. The sa then confirms that my car is under recall but they cant do anything because they dont know when they will be servicing or getting parts for it. I asked if they could check it to make sure its not a safety issue for mine and he tells me that because they wont know when they will get reimbursed for the labor just to look at it, that they couldnt do anything. They let me drive my car off the lot with an ses light on, not checking my recall, my blower motor fan doesnt even work properly. Not to mention that they told me my alternator and battery were bad and couldnt run diagnostics or anything on it. I basically drove off their lot thinking they didnt do any kind of inspection on the car. They wanted me to pay 2000 just to start on what was wrong. I just got this car 1 year ago and havent had anything wrong until this month where everything seems to be going wrong safety wise. Limp mode, limit driving, drive moderately, charge malfunction, sensors lighting like a christmas tree. I never received letters about a recall. Any reply would be much appreciated.

While driving on a divided highway at 60 mph, I experienced a sudden loss of power steering assist. Steering became very stiff and there was a strong burnt rubber smell emanating from the engine compartment. I drove about 6 miles further and parked the car in my driveway. I also noticed the battery symbol illuminated with warning message 'charging malfunction.' I had the car towed to the BMW dealership for repairs. I believe this is an identical issue that resulted in the BMW recall campaign no. 12V-550: Engine belt idler pulley bolt for the X5. I am concerned because I believe the engine in my 335D is identical to the diesel engine in the X5 recall and believe the 335D should be included in this recall. I will be contacting BMW corporate headquarters about my concern.
