I drive a 2006 BMW 330xi with the oem Bridgestone turanaza runflat tires. From 2006 to today I have replaced all 4 of my tires and rims twice and still have problems with the tires being to rough on New York city roads which means it just cracking and bending each and every rim on my car over time. Now this problem with the tires being to rough and lack of control with there tires lead to another problem something in my steering rack has cracked. BMW not wanting to tell me what part of the steering rack was broken all they told me was it will cost 3000 dollars and I couldn't pay it in monthly installments, I have been trying to alert them of my situation for about 1 year but they do not take me seriously since I am only 22 years old and take me for a fool. As of yesterday also my lock actuators which is the part of the car that allows your alarm to unlock your doors are frozen and will not unlock any other doors expect the driver by using the manual key. For the im paying everymonth BMW is not diving me the ultimate driving machine, I will not recommend this car to anyone soul in the New York and I am looking to take legal action for my rights against the lack or quality and safety they have put me in over the lack year.

: the contact stated the flat tire warning light frequently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the service dealer, who was not able to fix the problem.

It seems that the Bridgestone tires size 225/45R-17 on my new BMW form flat spots on the tires when the vehicle is parked over night. It takes about 5 miles or more depending on how cold it is [75 degrees or less] outside to finely begin to perform properly. The car shimmies and vibrates to the point that it is hard to control until the tires warm up. I had complained about this since the 2nd day after purchase. [June '05] BMW tried to make repairs after many phone calls and certified letters but it hasn't been fixed. Now they tell me that they do not warranty tire problems take your complaint to Bridgestone. The Bridgestone tire dealers have all told me that they do not warranty the problem and that it is a BMW problem. I have been put in the position of each company blaming the other and no one wanting to address the problem. I cannot be the only person with this problem. An unsafe condition exists as you drive and the car wobbles, bumps and shimmies for the first few miles or more, because of the flat spots that form after parking for a time.
