Description of the problem | I brought the car in for a electrical recall. Dealer did a recommended service check. Listed 3 major issues that should not be happening with a car that has 61,452. 1. Replace oil pan gasket 2. Replace oil filter housing gaskets 3. Replace valve cover gasket. All of these issues due to oil leaks. How is it that a car built to last can have major flaws like this. This car is not driven on a racetrack nor driven in extreme climates for this to happen. The cost to replace these is over 2700 plus tax. It is my understanding that this issue is happening to many bmw owners and should be addressed as a recall. |
