1 Software problem of the 2003 BMW 325

Failure Date: 09/08/2003

2003 BMW 325i stalls frequently because of instability. The vehicle stalled about seven times after being driven off the lot on the date if purchase. From Dec 2003 to June 2005 the vehicle had only been drive 11,000 because the dealer was unable to alleviate the stalling condition. The dealer believed the stalling was due to driver error. The consumer believes the stalling is due to instability and that this problem could be easy fixed by updating software. An independent repair facility downloaded the update from the BMW-siemens website in the u. K. And installed it. Since the software has been updated the vehicle has only stalled twice since updated, once when in the wrong gear, and once when the emergency brake was set.

2 Software problem of the 2003 BMW 325

Failure Date: 06/04/2003

BMW 325i purchased new in April 2003. After a couple of weeks I started to experience problems. My car would jerk very hard when approaching to a stop. My car started to stall out while driving or sometimes it did not even start. In June 2003 a little over a month after I initially purchase it, I took it to the dealer. They could not duplicate the same problem and it did not register any faults in the computer. A month later took it back for the same problem and they could not duplicate problem. Another month passd took it back for the same problem and this time they were able to find out what caused the jerking problem. BMW tech said that they needed to upgrade the computer software which they did and the jerking stopped. But the most important problem that has not been fixed is my car stalling. Since purchased date my car has been in the shop several times now and my car continues to die out on me. Sometimes the car would not even start, I had to tow it back to the dealer once. Summarize current problems: randomly does not want to start and sometimes my doors does not unlock when using the key remote.
