My tires are worn out past acceptable to pass state inspection and yet the dealer inspected my car and passed it and registered it. Chassis corroded and wheels rotting. I bought the car on the 14tyh and dealer didn't deliver it until the 21st because of apparent missing title. The car needed service and air filter and during the service, the other (BMW) dealer found the issues attached. I have documentation listing a 90 limited warranty and was wondering if the purchase dealer owes me to fix some of those items, particularly tires that are beyond safe. I almost skid and hit another car today on the highway due to the poor state of the tires....

For the fourth time since taking delivery of the new car, driving on city street in moderately heavy traffic, bringing the car to a stop by depressing the brake pedal caused the car to accelerate and the engine to rev above the 3,000 RPM level. (at the last event I watched the tachometer gauge as I was braking.) each time I had to panic-depress on the brake pedal to avoid a collision with the car in front. Each time I could feel the pulsation of the ABS brake on the pedal. The following morning I took the car into the dealer and reported the chronic malfunction. I waited for a response until this morning when I received an email announcing that my car was ready for pick-up, without any mention of disposition or repair. When I called and spoke to the service representative, I was told that they could find no problems.
