Consumer Description

DROVE CAR FOR APPX 1 MILE. STOPPED FOR 10MINS AT A STORE. WHEN I STARTED IT BACK UP, A FAN WAS LOUDER THAN USUAL. I THEN RECIEVED A HIGH HEAT WARNING TELLING ME TO DRIVE MODERATELY OR RISK OVER HEATING. AFTER A FEW MORE MILES, I RECIEVED A WARNING TO STOP THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT AND NOT TO OPEN THE HOOD FOR RISK OF BURNS. THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO A CRAWL. LUCKILY I WAS A FEW BLOCKS FROM HOME. NEXT MORNING I TOOK IT TO A NON-BMW SERVICE CENTER WHO SAID THAT THE WATER PUMP MALFUNCTIONED ($950). THERE WAS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN 2008 MODELS FOR THE WATER PUMP. I CONFIRMED WITH BMW THAT THIS MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED. BASED ON SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE. *TR
