| Description of the problem | On may 2nd, during a rain storm, our 2006 bmw 3 series' windshield wipers stopped. We were able to get home safely and immediately called our service center, and made an appointment for the next day. The service center's owner/mechanic informed us, that there were 3 other 06 3 series in for the exact same problem. The invoice reads; work requested- diag wipers inop, work performed- replace jbe cont module(part# 63 21 5 897 528). A call was made to bmw, usa on may 11th and bmw does not have, to date, an open recall on the problem. This is disconcerting, since a small service center in the small town of bridgewater, ma. Had 4(including ours) 06 bmw 3 series in for the same problem, and on the same date. |
