BMW 540 owners have reported 1 problem related to front suspension strut (under the suspension category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The front strut spring perch failed on my 1997 model BMW 540i. The perch cut into tire. His happened at low-speed, so no injuries resulted (luckily). Mw na has issued a recall, but my vehicle supposedly is not covered, I think it missed by two months. My build date is 08/96. I contacted BMW na on 6/21/04 and spoke to ryan, I was told the vehicle did not qualify for the recall and that BMW na would not reimburse me for the damages. I have digital pictures of the strut that I can email. I also have the struts themselves still in my garage if someone would be interested in seeing them. John.
