Two problems related to engine exhaust system have been reported for the 2006 BMW 325. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
There is a clear manufacturer defect concerning the aluminum bolts associated with the valve cover gasket on the BMW 2006 325i's. With research that I have been doing from others, I noticed that this is a manufacture defect and BMW does know about the problem. This can be a safety concern if not corrected quick due to the possibility of oil falling on top of the exhaust pipe and may cause a fire. The defective bolts pose a serious potential risk to the safety of the owners of these vehicles, as well as to other drivers who share the roadway with them. I respectfully request that BMW north America issue a voluntary recall of the BMW 2006 325i's affected by this manufacturer defect. I am not privy to what constitutes a vehicle's defective components to reach a "recall status".
The emission system warranty seems to be incorrect for my 2006 BMW 325i. I thought the system must be warranted for at least 75,000 miles. Please check their owner's manual to confirm their wording is correct.
