WHILE ENTERING THE FREEWAY I HEARD A POP FROM UNDER MY CAR AND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO HEAR A LOUD METALLIC SCRAPING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER MY CAR AS IF I WERE DRAGGING SOMETHING. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND FOUND THE METAL BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE GAS TANK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD COME LOOSE FROM AN AREA WHERE IT HAD BEEN SPOT WELDED TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR. THIS EFFECTIVELY CAUSED THE GAS TANK TO LOWER ITSELF A FEW INCHES OFF THE GROUND. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOME AS IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
WHILE DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL ROAD, THE FUEL TANK STRAP OF MY 2001 BMW 330CI SUDDENLY BROKE OFF. IT FAILED AT THE WELD POINTS. THE FUEL TANK DID REMAIN IN TACT. I BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND BMW REPAIRED IT. PLEASE NOTE THAT OTHER SIMILAR INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON BMW INTERNET FORUMS.
SUBFRAME FAILURE IN 2001 E46 330CI, REAR SUBFRAME TEARING NEAR SPARE TIRE STORAGE AND MOUNTS. NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND I WAS BASICLLY TOLD TO GO SCREW MYSELF BY BMWNA.*AK
