The car's primary issues are a broken water pump & an ongoing electrical issue related to the footwell module (frm), which BMW twice acknowledged via limited warranty extension reimbursement letter. The cooling system gave out in August, '18 on CA-99 outside of bakersfield. It was 105 degrees. One second I'm going 75 mph and the next I'm desperately trying to safely maneuver to the side of road. After three years of several other major issues with the car, I was prompted to contact BMW in early oct, 2018, to hold them accountable. My first attempt to have BMW correct the issues was denied w/in two weeks, so at the request of an exec customer relations rep, I had the car diagnosed in Nov, 18, (even though I had previously had the car diagnosed by a reputable third-party who found the water pump and frm issues within one hour in Aug, 2018). �when I collected the car two business days later, it was in worse condition as its fan was running hard and loud. I immediately complained to the sa & explained to him that the car did not have that issue before I dropped it off. Since only a diagnostic was ordered, the car should have been in the exact same condition but he casually attributed the new issue to the water pump & claimed it was coincidence that it happened while under their care. When I submitted the diagnostic to the exec care rep, I informed him of my bad experience but he didn't seem concerned and just let me know that BMW would reevaluate the case. On 12/27/18, over a month after submitting the diagnostic, I was told that BMW again denied my claim. Btw, the diagnostic from BMW found the broken water pump but they claim that they could not determine the cause of the electrical issue (even though they had my car for two days, had knowledge of the frm issue as evidenced by their letters, & had a third-party diagnostic to compare). �.

Fan blower wire can catch fire, BMW 3 series e90 2006 to 2013 already got the recall done, please recall this.

2008 BMW 135i and my blower motor stopped working as I was driving a few moment later and I started to hear spark and smelt burning wires so I immediately thought of the safety recall that is being done on the 3 series BMW's I instantly turned off the climate control and fan speed and shut the car off I looked over and saw a little bit of smoke coming from under the passenger side so I went into the trunk and took the negative cable off the battery I then waited a few seconds and then took the kick plate off the passenger side to take a look at the blower motor and I find burnt broken wires coming from the part of the harness that connects into the blower motor I instantly unplugged it and tape it up with electrical tape once done I proceeded to call up my nearest BMW dealership and after explaining to them what happened they told me that there was nothing I could do but pay out of pocket to get it fixed because my car wasn't covered under recall so I hung up the phone and call BMW of USA headquarters and spoke to some guy that proceeded to tell me the same thing the dealership told me and that I would have to get a diagnosis done to prove it was the same issue that has happened on the 3 series even tho it's the same part numbers and same symptoms. I asked him if I went there and proved that it was the same issue would I be covered and he proceeded to tell me no that a recall is based off of statistics and that even if my car went on fire like a lot of the 3 series did that there is still nothing I could do because my car wasn't on the recall list.
