Consumer Description

The radiator failed due to rocks flying through the grill and smashing the radiator causing coolant to flow out of the radiator which could cause deadly issues if a car has no coolant while operating. Bmw knows this is an issue and refuses to warranty/recall the parts. They know its an issue because after 12/17 every 340i came with a rock guard to protect the radiator but every car before that was just left to be victim of a potentially deadly situation including mine (manufactured 10/17). Bmw refuses to acknowledge the problem but the addition of the rock guard to cars after 12/17 should be enough evidence to show they knew it was an issue. Now all 2016-2018 m sport f30 chassis built before 12/7 are susceptible to this deadly situation and bmw refuses to cover for any damages even though they know it's a serious issue and they won't even cover the rock guard
