problem #1

Aug 292007

530 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,920 miles
This vehicle, unlike all other BMW automobiles has no rock guard in place on the lower front bumper protecting the radiator, etc from road hazards. A rock was thrown by a vehicle in front of me that pierced the condenser attached to the front of the radiator resulting in the car being taken to a service center on a roll back. I see this as a design flaw, (corrected on the 08 model), that can result in dangerous driving situations.
