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.
6 month old and the head gasket blows up, warping the cylinders. BMW was nasty to deal with, refused to provide details of problem so we refused to take back car. Service department hinted that this was known problem with 1.9L and that they would stop selling the engine (which they did).
