I am reporting a design flaw with BMW and a major safety issue. I have had 2 oil separators go bad over the last 6 years. This issue has to be escalated from a "service bulletin" to a full blown recall. I this problem is not only a safety issue, but greatly depreciates the resale value of our vehicles not to mention the out of pocket costs due to repairs, lost wages, and towing to mention a few. None of us in good conscience could sell our vehicles in a midwest or northern climate and pass this problem on to the next owner - we need to unite and pass the problem back to the source: BMW.
