I purchased the used BMW from a very reputable dealership May 2021. Last week, I was driving the car and all of the dashboard lights went on suddenly. The car began to buck and I pulled over immediately. I had the car towed to the local BMW dealership. The service department informed me, the serpentine belt broke, wrapped around the crankshaft, and grinded into pieces. The pieced of the belt were sucked into the engine and caused the engine to seize. When researching this problem, because I never heard of it before, it seems it is a fairly common problem with BMW’s. The BMW dealership wanted $14,000 to insert a new engine. There is no way I can afford that, and if it is a known problem, why wasn’t there a recall? I contacted BMW customer service and they said there was nothing they can do

The Check engine light is displayed, a drivetrain malfunction message is being displayed and the engine's power output has been reduced The issue is diagnosed as turbocharger wastegate valve actuator I would like for BMW to extend the limited warranty for this issue to 2014 BMW 528i

After parking the car for extended time (>7hours), hot weather, starting the car and put in reverse, back out slowly the engine stalls, transmission flips by itself to neutral (n) and a message on screen stating that transmission is not in park, ...., this happened 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Happening earlier but was only shaking when reversing and engine stays on. Now got worse and engine stalls. Took to BMW dealers (two of them) both claimed they couldn't recreate the issue but saw it before and no solution from BMW but to wait 15 seconds after starting the car to put in reverse.

When driving on freeway, with a loud noise, the sun roof shattered into pieces. The weather out was little warm but not hot (the outside temperature will be around 90 f). I am driving the vehicle from mountain view and have been driving for almost 45 mins with my a/c on. I didnt notice any pebble or object hitting the car. I pulled to the shoulder and did a visual inspection and found absolutely nothing hit the car/wind shield/or body. The sunroof just shattered..I took the car to the dealership and they denied anything wrong with sun roof.

The headrest on the driver side stops working: it stuck in the upper position and cannot be lowered.

I parked my car in the garage and 15 minutes later my garage is up in flames.The fire department did an investigation then came to the conclusion that the fire started from my cars front passenger side headlamp area. Doing a little research I find out that I’m not the only one that has had that same expierence.

Incident Description: This complaint concerns both the lack of navigation system support and the unresolved recall status for my 2014 BMW 5 Series. 1.Navigation System: BMW no longer supports map or system updates for this vehicle, and no hardware or retrofit upgrade is available. The outdated GPS system results in inaccurate directions, missing roads, and potentially unsafe routes. BMW dealerships confirm there are no solutions, creating a long-term safety hazard for owners who rely on navigation systems. 2.Recall Incomplete: I have an open recall on this vehicle, but BMW dealerships have only responded with vague statements such as, “it should be coming soon.” There has been no formal notification, letter, or resolution from BMW. This lack of transparency and urgency in addressing safety

Interior door handles are melting from sun exposure. When grabbing both the driver door and passenger front door from the interior, the handle is melted, leaving a crumbly and gooey tar on your hands. I've read online that this has happened to many BMW owners.

Two of four wheels on this vehicle were found to be cracked on the inboard flange/bead seat area. These cracks were found during a routine service for tire rotation. There was no degradation in the vehicle's handling or performance. I bought this car new in jan 2014, has 110k miles and it has never been in an accident. Tires have never been damaged in anyway - wear out replacements only.
