Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On many Bmw cars you will see reports of the air suspension failing. Mine failed days after the warranty expired but with less miles than in the warranty. Still a low 4 figure cost to the consumer to fix. This should fixed via a recall and consumers reimbursed for costs associated. This problem is experienced by thousands of Bmw owners. It causes a less than safe operation of vehicle or an inoperable vehicle. My head and neck were injured while going 20mph”
