Consumer Description

AFTER DRIVING ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES THE TIRES ON THE CAR FAILED. THE TWO FRONT TIRES "BUBBLED. WITHIN ONE MONTH AFTER, THE LEFT FRONT FAILED BY "BLOWING". IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS ALL FOUR "NEW" TIRES FAILED, WITH THE SAME "BUBBLING" ISSUE. 4 MONTHS, 7 TIRES - SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WITH THE ENGINEERING OF THE CAR AS IT RELATED TO THE RUN-FLAT TIRES USED BY BMW CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS RIDING CONDITION. BMW SERVICE IN THE ONE SERVICE CENTER I VISITED CLAIMS TO CHANGE UP TO 15 TIRES PER DAY. MULTIPLY THAT BY THE NUMBER OF SERVICE CENTERS NATIONWIDE AND YOU HAVE A VERITABLE BMW EPIDEMIC OF TIRE FAILURE. *TR
