The vehicle was towed back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that a faulty oil gasket damaged the serpentine belt, causing an oil leak. The dealer informed the contact that the serpentine belt and drive belt needed to be replaced.

The passenger side door will not unlock with the vehicle in park, all other doors do. Even with a double pull it will not open. The only way to open it is using the center dash mounted unlock button. A definite safety hazard if you need to exit the vehicle in an emergency.

When turning on the max/ac blower fan the fan becomes intermittent/sporadic. The fan runs on high and then shuts down then runs on high and shuts down. Etc. The vehicle was in motion and on city streets with normal strait away driving. It has happened more than once and appears to happen each time that I try the max/ac fan.

Passenger front door actuator failure causing inability to unlock and open the door. Normally with door locked you should be able to do a 'double pull' with door latch to open the door such as in emergency situations. This is a safety issue as you can not open the door.

Why the vehicles in off position the driver's side door will not open once you complete the double pull on the door handle trapping you in the vehicle the only way to get out of the vehicle is to actually hit the door unlock button in the center rash. I find this to be a safety issue because if I need to get out of the vehicle quickly I will be trapped unless I can actually reach the door button to unlock all the doors there is a video that I am forwarding as well on youtube showing this actual problem many other consumers who have purchased if your vehicle is having the same issues

Driver side door will not unlock using the inside door handle, effectively trapping the driver inside. Intermittent problem occurs while stationary after engine is stopped and vehicle in park. Took to dealer and it happened in front of service adviser, they informed me nothing is wrong.

The registration of the unsafe 2014 BMW have been canceled and the car returned to BMW dealer. *tr

Warning on dash board telling flat tire. No sign of any rupture or nail but end up replacing it. A similar incident on august, sept and now in oct.I strongly believe those re defective tires. Replaced four tires in less than a year with replacement cost of $2000 plus. BMW refrain to help and so is good year the manufacturer. Tires burst even you pass a rough bump. In over 30 years of driving never had an incident like this. So afraid to drive this car. *tr

1 of my headlights is currently displaying an adaptative headlamp malfunction warning error. I took my vehicle to the dealer and the resolution offered seemed more trial and error. The dealer offered to dry out my headlight assembly which was holding condensation but could not guarantee this will resolve the issue. If the dry out method did not work the only other option was to replace the entire head light assembly at a cost of several thousand dollars each. In the mean time additional lighting modules could be at risk of failure due to the potential moisture buildup. I took my vehicle for a 2nd opinion and the mechanic stated the electrical in the both Head light assemblies are at risk for failure or worst due to exposure to moisture.

Driver-side headlight started getting condensation last winter. Brought the car to the dealer to see if they can replace the gasket but was told that it needs to be replaced and it could cost as much as $7,000 if the module needs to be replaced as well. That is ridiculous that it needs to be replaced at such ab absurd cost. Lights can stop working if it burns out and dangerous if it occurs at night and lose your headlights. Since it is summer now, condensation has not occurred until it starts raining.

Issue persists. 2 Vehicle inspections at same bmw dealer, were unable to identify burnt battery PCM as well. Occasional check engine light, gone after vehicle restart. Under hard acceleration burning plastic smell intensifies.

On 12-jul-2017 at approximately 6:30am driving west on I-580 at approximately 65-70 MPH less than 1 mile east of the castro valley blvd exit, in daily commuter traffic on open road (no overpass or other structures hanging over the road) I heard a tremendously loud bang, and looked around to see if something had hit me. I then heard the sound of broken glass above me in the sunroof "compartment"; the interior shade of the sunroof was closed at the time. After regaining my composure I was able to safely exit the freeway, inspected the sunroof and exterior of the car and did not notice any damage other than the broken sunroof glass. I returned home, took some pictures, inspected the vehicle further. There was no evidence of any damage to any body panels of the vehicle. There was no evide
