Consumer Description

MY 2001 BMW 325I LOST REVERSE SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY THIS PAST NOVEMBER. THE CAR HAD 64,000 MILES ON IT AND IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. BMW NORTHWEST WANTED TO $5,200 ORIGINALLY TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT I WAS ABLE TO TALK THEM DOWN TO 4,000. EITHER WAY THIS WAS A BMW PROBLEM NOT A CONSUMER PROBLEM AND BMW SHOULD HAVE PAID TO HAVE THIS FIXED. VERY FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE AND I WOULD LOVE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR MY DUMB INVESTMENT OF A BMW 325I. *TR
