“My car started missing and smoking on dec, 2001. I took it to my mechanic, and aftertairing down the engine, he found that the block was deective. And it was changed in 1999 by the dealer. I have made research and found that this is a common problem in this year and model. Some people have had 2 and 3 block changes. I am in a legal process demanding Bmw t change it without anycharge.”
