Consumer Description

THE REAR SUSPENSION IS SEPARATING AT THE ATTACHMENT POINTS TO THE BODY. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT BY BMW. THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BUT IT HAS EXPIRED AND BMW IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THE REPAIRS. THIS HAS POSED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THE CAR SUSPENSION CAN ACTUALLY BECOME SEPARATED FROM THE BODY. *TR
