Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The steering column is kinked an inch to the left. I do not mean the wheel is turned to one o'clock, I mean the left side of the steering wheel is 1 inch closer to the dash board than the right. I cannot believe that the column is where it should be under the hood. The dealer said that a number of coupes have this problem. When I spoke to Bmw they said talk with the dealer. I have asked for a letter to say this is safe and Bmw has refused to issue such a letter.”
