“I called Bmw beverly hills several times since I owning the car. I have taken it in because I received a recall letter and it seemed to have an electrical shortage. I told them I did not feel safe driving the car with a potential electrical issue and air bag defect. I dropped off my car 2 times. Never got an update. No one went over what was done to to the car. They wanted me to buy an extended warranty. After expressing several times and dropping off my car 2-3 times, they never called me back or responded... I had a car accident in late november or early december. …”
