“2 Issues: 1) The water/coolant pump leaks and fails, leading to overheating. BMW says the following Service Bulletin does not apply: SIB 11 05 21 SERVICE ACTION: REPLACE THE MECHANICAL COOLANT PUMP I'm not really sure why or how it doesn't apply but it should. 2) The front passenger seatbelt has failed, in that it does not retract into its housing.”

“Sunroof exploded, just driving down the road, and BOOM! Most of the glass exploded outward, but it was definitely a hazard. The sunroof cover was open about 8-10 inches to let light in, but the glass sunroof was closed.”
