Description of the problem	I drive a 2006 bmw 330xi with the oem bridgestone turanaza runflat tires. From 2006 to today i have replaced all 4 of my tires and rims twice and still have problems with the tires being to rough on new york city roads which means it just cracking and bending each and every rim on my car over time. Now this problem with the tires being to rough and lack of control with there tires lead to another problem something in my steering rack has cracked. Bmw not wanting to tell me what part of the steering rack was broken all they told me was it will cost 3000 dollars and i couldn't pay it in monthly installments, i have been trying to alert them of my situation for about 1 year but they do not take me seriously since i am only 22 years old and take me for a fool. As of yesterday also my lock actuators which is the part of the car that allows your alarm to unlock your doors are frozen and will not unlock any other doors expect the driver by using the manual key. For the im paying everymonth bmw is not diving me the ultimate driving machine, i will not recommend this car to anyone soul in the new york and i am looking to take legal action for my rights against the lack or quality and safety they have put me in over the lack year.
