Brought my car in for a starter recall picked it up next day and drove home then came out to turn my vehicle on again and it wouldn-??t start. Burning smell from engine bay as well. Returned the car they inspected it and told me a faulty starter. When I brought the car in it was in perfect working condition I only brought it for the recall. I was then held accountable for 25% of repair costs.

Oil pump failure, causing inability to read oil level. Also flickering oil light on and off. After some research noticed it was happening to a lot of others as well due to oil pump being made with plastic internals. BMW has since updated to a new pump with metal internal the next year however never recalled old pumps.

Oil pump on 2020 models is a constant issue. They fail after about 15k miles and BMW refuses to recognize this as a recall issue.

The front collision system does not work. Early warning rarely comes on, and in a recent near crash on the dallas North tollway, it never came on. Every now and then, the early warning front collision warning will come on for a second, but there is no reason for it. I took it to the local dealership (classic BMW) and they said it is operating as normal, although to prove it they had to tailgate cars at 75 mph to simply get the early warning light to illuminate a few times. They never got the imminate crash warning to come on. This system is unsafe and does not provide the protection it advertises. I've driven several other makes that had this system, and the early warning comes on very early, when you are barely near the car in front of you.

I was driving on the highway at approximately 70 mph, the posted limit, when all of a sudden the sunroof exploded. It sounded like a gunshot and I almost lost control of the vehicle. Luckily the headliner was closed so the glass did not enter the cabin. There were no vehicles in front of us for at least 1 mile and no overpasses or rocks that I saw or heard hitting the vehicle. It is a stock vehicle with 5200 miles on it.
