Vibration starting from 60mph, rumbling, droning noise and vibration could felt throughout the cabin. Spent 4 or time times roadforced rebalancing tires, two sets of oe Continental ssr tires and repairing wheels but no change with the unpleasant and annoying vibration. Could be a defects with the driveline/driveshaft? I wanted to replace the U-joint but it is non serviceable driveshaft. Requesting BMW to look into this issue as others BMW models having recall on defective driveshaft. Car has just 80K miles.

I was driving at a slow speed during heavy traffic in town at 4 pm on a sunny day. The car ahead of me slowed down even more and when I was trying to slow my car too, it did not slow down at all. I did hit the car ahead of me at a slow speed and the air bag deployed causing severe injury to my right wrist and to the left wrist. It caused profuse bleeding because the air bag caused cuts in my wrist area, very close to a vein. A five inch hematoma appeared within minutes in the right wrist and the skin was scraped off both wrists. Several burn marks are also visible all the way up to the bend of my arms. The police came within minutes and they bandaged my wrists to try to stop the bleeding. An ambulance was called and the emt wanted to Transport me to a hospital.

My rima keep cracking on normal pothole drives. I had three wheels fixed once, and one wheel fixed twice. Then I had to replace another wheel with a new wheel from BMW dealership because R was not repairable. The rims are oem starspoke 194 M

Fourth wheel speed sensor was replaced today. The car has about 27,000 miles. The first sensor failed when the car was about 2 1/2 years old. The fact that all four wheel speed sensor have failed suggests to me a design or manufacturing flaw. It is a safety issue in that the ABS, stability control, and cruise control are disabled when this happens.

Accident happened in los angeles. I was heading East on 3rd street ( main road) 2 lanes, I was on the right lane. Opposite side also has 2 lanes going West. Westmoreland is an intersection on 3rd street and has the stop sign. The vechile crossed 3 lanes of traffic and hit my car on the drive side rear wheel and quarter panel. At the time of impact, the momentum had me going almost sideways onto oncoming traffic. And my biggest concern was, the 2 passenger side doors flung open. Everyone had their seatbelts on. My wif'E's shoulder bag which was tucked on the floor on the front passenger ended up in the middle of the road on 3rd westmoreland. The car was disable and can't be driven because the rear wheel was bent. I have reported it to my insurance company and told the BMW authorized repair shop. I am not sure if the doors where designed to open during a collision but inquiries to BMW customer relations and dealership has gotten nowhere. I am concerned that when the car is fixed, I maybe driving a car that has a safety defect.
