“The double glazing glass on my 1999 Bmw 740IL started delaminating and has steadily gotten worse, I know of many Bmw owners who complain of this defect and bmwna is acting like there is not any problem. I went into my local Bmw dealer and they say every car that they see with double glazing is delaminating! I think this is a serious defect that can impair a drivers view while driving as well.”
