I live in the state of virginia. I have been experiencing the same issues with my 2008 BMW for about a month now. My coworker has the same year make and model, and is also experiencing or has experienced the same issues. We both have had our cars in the shop at the same time and the vehicles are now repaired. The issue with the vehicle is it begins to stall as driving which is dangerous in our area for traffic. The car will not pick up speed while driving and you can not go over 10 miles per hour. The car also jerks. The problems with both our vehicles were the same ; oil leak, a transmission leak, and a problem with the cylinders not working as connected to the spark plugs. As I previously stated this is an extremely dangerous driving conditions. And times when you need to accelerate the car stalls which almost causes the car behind you to run into you. The maintenance for my car was 3200 dollars at the dealership. My coworker took her car to an import repair shop and over the course of 2 times, she ended up spending about 1200 plus dollars. Please look into this matter as I don't think people are reporting it to the right authority.

Last month my car was approximately 52,200 miles (out of warranty) and leaking oil all over my driveway and under the hood. It costed me $1570 to fix by replacing the fiter casing. Luckily that the oil leak was in my driveway. What if I was on the freeway? this is totally unsafe car to drive. The local shop told me that the filter housing (2012 version) was made of plastic and the current BMW one 2014 is made of metal. The local shop told me to call BMW if there is any recall for this. So before fixing it local shop, I did call the crevier BMW in santa ana, CA and the service advisor told me that there is no recall for the filter housing and my car was out of warranty. I told the BMW advisor that I cannot believe that a 2012 BMW 528i with 52k miles on it and leaking oil all over the place. The BMW advisor told me that I drove too much. What kind of service is that? and BMW will not cover it. So BMW cannot be driven over 50k miles. I also did call BMW corporate and someone from BMW corporate called me back that and said nothing BMW can do about this. Now I found out because of the oil leak, the alternator is having problem. I want to report this incident so that BMW should be responsible to similar cases of their unsafe cars. Anthony v. Tran 714) 594-8009.
