1 Engine Head Gasket Leaking problem of the 2011 BMW 328

Failure Date: 06/15/2018

In 2018 classic BMW dealer diagnosed oil pan gasket leaking and my oil level was low. He recommend gasket replacement at a cost of $1100 I wrote letter & called BMW corporate USA for investigation and resolve the issue. But 1 yr later, they have not resolved the issue & have used my expired warranty as reason for not looking at issue. I have found that this is common issue with BMW cars through my online research. I would like NHTSA to investigate these complaints.
