Consumer Description

WE BOUGHT A 2013 BMW 528XI NEW. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 120K MILES, OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. WE PUT OIL IN AND IT WAS FINE FOR A WEEK. THEN THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN SO WE HAD IT TOWED. THE OIL WAS REPLACED AND A NEW OIL LEVEL AND TEMP SENSOR ADDED. AFTER A COUPLE DAYS THE LIGHT AND DRIVE TRAIN FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND SHARDS OF METAL IN THE OIL FILER. LUCKLY, MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT.
