My son was driving the car to work and it only got about 8 blocks from our house when the car stalled and lost complete power. He coasted to the side of the road and from the looks when I arrived the serpentine tension belt had broken we turned the key over and the engine was in a free spin. We had it towed to a local service shop and they replaced the belt but stated the engine had no compression towed car to a second shop and got the same opinion the engine had no compression. There was no warning lights or messages on the dash. The car just stopped operating in the middle of the road and gave no warning.
When I drive my car back to home, sudden noise from the front of the engine and found out the power steering pump and belts were off and sheared off some bolts around the holding. After the repair at the time on 5/1/2012, engine starts discovering oil leak around the front cylinder head housing. Keeping the oil level up to the require level for the past year. As of today 11/21/2013, I discovered the reason why the cylinder head housing is leaking oil is 2 sheared off bolts on top of the head housing. I drive normally and aluminum screws are not acceptable for a high performance car and it broke off that easy with normal driving condition.
The contact owns a 2007 BMW 530i. While having the vehicle serviced, the contact was informed that the torque aluminum bolt on the engine pulley was fractured and would need replacing. The bolt was replaced. The current and failure mileage was 101,000.
"takata recall" the car overheat, the dashboard show safety belt malfunction, when push the gas pedal sometimes jump, the car smell gasoline all he time, all the time show low limits of oil but the level of oil is correct.
