I was helping a passenger out of the passenger seat of my 2003 BMW 525i when the passenger accidently bumped the the auto-up window button. The door was open, the window was down, and I had finger in the way of the now closing window. All off a sudden the window chopped off a digit of my pinky finger. My finger was not recognized by the pinch protection safety feature. How this could have been prevented: if auto-up feature was deactivated when door is open, button to open close window could be designed so you have to pull up to close window, pinch-protection system that protects fingers, and perhaps a warning sign on the window that it is capable of cutting off fingers.
2003 BMW 525i 11 months ago brought in due to water and mold in rear floor dealer found mold, door p anels crumbling from water and claimed needed to replace vapor barriers. Wanted to charge me $4,000 or so I fought and BMW furnished parts I paid labor over 1200. 00 when asked they claim never saw problem in past, and was due to poor adhesive on vapor barriers, now 2 weeks ago same problem. My wife has been having medical problems as well as I and they are due to toxic mold syndrome. Dealer refuses to admit this is a major problem thru all model and years which I have researched and confirmed they demanded the loaner car back and now the rental car, they want my vehicle off their lot obviously, I simply wanted a written confirmation that their is no mold and they refuse, an investigator from BMW was there and head office claims his report will not reach them for 2 weeks. . . I now have lung issues as does my wife along with 8 syptoms documented since 2005 from physicians confirming toxic mold exposure and syndrome. The dealer and BMW refuse to admit and responsiblitiy or knowledge of this problem however looking on internet it is widespread, not even an apology. I have contact the epa and media to expose there total lack of ethics, honest and concern for the health of consumers.
While changing the tire on my 2003 BMW 525 car jack slipped out causing car to drop on my arm, breaking my arm. I believe the car jack for this car is poorly designed.
