“I purchased a 2004 Bmw 330xi and had two problems that surfaced immediately. When calling the dealership, they brushed off the complaint stating that the car was new and it would settle given time. However, after the problems continued, I brought the car into a dealership who, upon inspection, told me I simply needed some new parts. One being a transmission (which I think is more than just a part). Apparently, there is a directive to Bmw dealerships highlighting the problem, but to deal with it only upon customer complaint. …”
