Consumer Description

MY 2000 BMW 323 CIC WAS SHUDDERING WHEN I DROVE IT. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD BROKEN AWAY FROM THE SUBFRAME. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE ONLY CAUSE APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURER OF THIS PARTICULAR CAR. BMW HAS RECALLED THIS VEHICLE IN GERMANY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT DONE SO HERE. IT WILL COST ME $3,300 TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND BMW HAS NOT AGREED TO COVER IT UNDER THE WARRANTY. *NM
