Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR INDICATED AN ENGINE MALFUNCTION AND WITHIN SECONDS THE MESSAGE CHANGED TO ENGINE OVERHEATING AND THAT ENGINE IS OPERATING AT REDUCED OUTPUT. IT ALSO ADVISED TO STOP THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AND CALL THE NEAREST BMW DEALER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A BMW DEALER AND THEY IDENTIFIED ISSUE AS A FAILED WATERPUMP. THE WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED FOR ABOUT $1,400. 3 MONTHS LATER, A SIMILAR ISSUE OCCURRED WHERE ENGINE WAS HAVING ISSUES AND THE MESSAGE SAID THAT THE ENGINE IS OPERATING AT REDUCED SPEED BUT THAT IT IS SAFE TO CONTINUE. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES; BUT JUST TO BE SAFE (WHATEVER THAT MEANS) THEY REPROGRAMMED THE BATTERY AND THE BILL WAS $126. AGAIN, WITH NO SPECIFIC ISSUE IDENTIFIED OR RESOLVED. *TR
