| Description of the problem | Please refer to the following web site. Http://www. E90post. Com/forums/showthread. Php? P=4875087&posted=1#post4875087 bmw has a ticking problem with all 2007 and 2008 bmw 3 series. Bmw has a tsb to "bleed" the vehicle. Bmw is aware this will not solve the problem. Bmw needs to replace the cylinder head to fix the defect. Bmw has redesigned the 2009 cylinder head to correct the problem. Bmw is putting its consumers through a fraudulent scheme to attempt frivolous repairs while knowing a full cylinder head replacement is the only remedy to the problem. Accordingly, i ask that this government service demand bmw issue a recall on the defective component to its 2007 and 2008 bmw 3 series vehicles. |
