Consumer Description
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. *TR
