The Bridgestone tires that are standard on my BMW 328I are stressed with bubbles forming on the sidewalls. My 2007 BMW has had all the tires replaced as a result of bubbles or blowouts. The most recent was Wednesday, June 24th. I tire was leaking air and found to be damaged. I barely made it back to BMW dealer 3.2 miles away from where it happened. When they inspected the car they found another tire that had a bubble formed on it causing a failed va inspection. March 2014, the tire blew out on I-95 in ga. The car was flat bed towed to savannah where the tire was replaced. Again caused by bubbles formed on the sidewall. Over the eight years I have had the car, I have replaced the 8 tires due to bubbles. The car has 31,115 miles on it. I take extra care of the car. This is a safety issue and needs to be addressed by Bridgestone and BMW. I have repeatedly tried to discuss this with the companies but they give me the run around and blame each other. Bridgestone said that BMW built the car to low to the ground. BMW says they don't make tires. This is serious.

A/C stopped working with the car's odometer at 65K miles (car is 6yrs old). Dealer diagnosed as evaporator failure with estimated repair cost of $4500. On the web, others are also experiencing the same problem even at 50K miles, while older generations of the same car from the same maker never had such issue. This is clearly an impurity case and the part should be recalled, as evaporator shouldn't fail at such age.

BMW auto jack part # 71 10 6 773 536 used with 2007 BMW 328I sport wagon. This floor jack is an accessory for BMW automobiles and available for purchase from BMW dealers. Although sold and marketed by BMW, it appears to be manufactured by bilstein. This jack failed on its 4th use. The main screw mechanism stripped resulting in the vehicle falling. The jack was on a secure garage floor, was securely locked into the BMW jack posts on the vehicle, and was used according to directions in every respect. The car was secure and the jack was in a proper vertical orientation. The failure was sudden and there is evidence that the threads in the main screw-type mechanism have stripped. I will attempt to obtain a replacement from BMW.

My 2007 BMW model 328I was delivered new with Bridgestone run-flat-tires as original equipment but with no jack and spare tire included. The run-flat-tires have proven to be unreliable, noisy, and prone to low-mileage wear out. I have filed two written claims with BMW of North America for reimbursement of the expenses necessary to purchase a spare emergency wheel and jack kit. Bmwna has denied both claims. Bmwna continues to deliver 3-series and other model new vehicles without a jack and spare included. I believe this essential safety equipment should be included in all new-car deliveries, regardless of tire type used. A civil class-action suit has been filed in New Jersey regarding the issue with BMW's use of Bridgestone run-flat-tires, but the suit does not address jack and spare tire safety equipment issues.
