2006 BMW 325I Engine And Engine Cooling Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	896320
Internal NHTSA #	10439239
Manufacurer	BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC
Brand	BMW
Model	325I
Model Year	2006
File date	01/12/11
Component	ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Noticed aluminum headbolt had broken off and caused an oil leak close to the front of the head on the oil filter side of the block, causing a burning oil smell as oil found its way to the burning hot exhaust manifold, thankfully, it did not catch on fire but i feel that it easily could while driving and could cause a serious accident should i or someone else panicked as it would have happened, bmw has acknowledged this issue in tsb's and already rectified the issue in the 2007 models of the exact same cars. If bmw does not rectify this issue, my 5th bmw will be my last and i will take my hard earned money to audi, i find it heartbreaking that a company that used to have such a focus on quality is refusing to acknowledge such failure and to right the situation over a 3$ bolt that has not only the potential to cause harm to many but also to alienate what have been long time customers and true fans of the brand.
