1 Steering Wheel problem of the 2003 BMW M3

Failure Date: 03/14/2011

I brought my vehicle to the dealer for a routine oil change. During their vehicle inspection, they discovered the rear coil springs had broken where they seat at the bottom. The service manager told me this is a common problem, because water gets into this area and there are no drain holes, causing the springs to rust and break. This is clearly a design error, leading to broken springs and a potentially unsafe driving situation.
