Consumer Description

ON MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE, A 2006 BMW 325, E90 CHASSIS, THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK FOUND DUE TO A FAULTY BOLT IN THE ENGINE BAY WHEREBY MY ENGINE HAD ABOUT 52K MILES PUT ON IT. I SPOKE TO VARIOUS OWNERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE, AND THEY TOO HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES AS WELL. IT'S APPARENT THAT BMW HAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND NEGLECTED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TT
