Tank Assembly problem #1

The seam on the gas tank of my BMW Z3 has a defect. It has only 86,000 miles on it, has never been in a salt or corrosive environment, and has always been garaged. It has apparently been leaking gas for quite a while. With the low flashpoint of gas and the propensity for injury if the car was in an accident I am outraged. I want to pursue this to the fullest extent.

Tank Assembly problem #2

June 2, 1997 consumer has taken vehicle to have repairs done on fuel gauge for second time. Tiis happens when starting vehicle sometimes.

Tank Assembly problem #3
