In August 2013, the station wagon appeared to lower itself in the rear little by little. As of this filing, the rear end has lowered itself to the point it causes unsafe driving and there is no shock absorption or suspension on the rear of the vehicle. The front appears to be fine. In June 2006, there was a recall campaign for rear shock absorbers under 06V-277 for 2006 BMW 5. 6 & 7 series for vehicles manufactured from January 5, 2006-April 26, 2006. My vehicle, per BMW, was manufactured in May 2005. I am alleging my vehicle handling and control is impaired due to the defect associated with the shock absorbers and the inclusive manufacturing dates should include all 2006 bmws. The dealer and BMW is neglecting to address the issue based on a technicality on the inclusive manufactured dates. Please investigate an expansion to the inclusion.
Cracked wheel, caused slow loss of air not detected by tire monitoring system resulting in tire failure. Wheel is available for inspection.. new wheel purchased. Dealer did not acknowledge failure although several wheels were in dealership exhibiting similar defects across several series and years.
I own a 2006 BMW 530I with 37,000 miles on original set of Bridgestone rft tires 275/40 R1893Y. These are low profile tires and on Nov 16, 07 < brought my car in for a tire check at the dealer. They determined that the rt rear wheel was cracked and has damaged the tire. This they said was not covered under warranty as they say that it was damaged from a pot hole. I said that I have been driving cars like Cadillac, Mercedes, corvette and never broke a wheel. They would not cover it and it cost me $900. Now on April 11, 2008, I went to my tire dealer that I have been buying tires from for 20+ years. He said the left rear and front wheels were cracked and also ruined the left rear tire. I am very unhappy and would like to know if the BMW 18" wheels on the above mentioned tires are defective.
