ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THIS CAR, I EXPERIENCED A SERIES OF FAULTS IN THE SYSTEM WHERE THE CAR FROZE UP AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, THE CAR HAS EXPERIENCED A VARIETY OF MALFUNCTIONS IN THE ELECTRONIC WARNING SYSTEM. ON 5/22/12, UPON LEAVING MY RESIDENCE, I LOST MOMENTARY CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CAR STOPPED, JERKED AND THEN I HIT A CURB AND WHEN I RIGHTED THE CAR, I PRESSED DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE CAR ACCELLERATED TO A HIGH SPEED. I TRAVELLED APPROXIMATELY 100' TO WHERE THERE WERE THREE CARS AND ONE MOTORCYCLE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR AND HIT THE DRIVER OF THE MOTOR CYCLE AT A HIGH SPEED. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED WITH NEARLY $25,000 IN DAMAGE. THE FOLLOWING MORNING AFTER I HAD RECEIVED THE CAR, AND DURING A COLD START, THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. IT "JERKED" THE WHEEL TURNED AND THIS TIME I RIGHTED THE CAR. OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, THE CAR DID IT AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES. ONE WEEK LATER WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT (AGAIN A COLD START AND WITHIN 1/2 MILE OF MY HOME GARAGE), THE CAR DID THE "JERKING" MOVEMENT AND I TEMPORARILY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CALLED BMW TO REPORT THE SITUATION AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FAULT IN THE CAR'S SOFTWARE SYSTEM. BMW HAD THE CAR AT ITS SHOP FOR 10 DAYS, RETURNED IT TO ME AND I'VE NOT EXPERIENCED THE MALFUNCTION SINCE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, PANEL INDICATES THAT THE TEMPERATURE IS HIGH, AND ADVISES TO DRIVE MODERATELY. PULLED OVER ONE LANE. BEFORE BEING ABLE TO PULL OVER COMPLETELY, A NEW INDICATION SHOWS ON THE PANEL, INSTRUCTING THAT THE ENGINE IS OVERHEATED. VEHICLE QUICKLY POWERS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. UNABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE BEFORE THE CAR IS TRAVELING UNDER 20 MPH. LIMPED TO THE ROAD SIDE WITH OTHER CARS BUZZING BY AT DANGEROUSLY DIFFERENT SPEEDS AS COMPARED TO MY OWN. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE GOING LESS THAN 5 MPH, CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS TO SLAM THEIR BRAKES AND HONK PROFUSELY AT ME. THE DECELERATION HAPPENED VERY QUICKLY. WITH LOTS OF TRAFFIC, THIS CREATED A DANGEROUS AND DIFFICULT SITUATION TO MANAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR. THE FACT THAT A CRASH DID NOT OCCUR IS A MATTER OF LUCK. AFTER PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE AND LETTING THE CAR COOL FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND DRIVE SLOWLY, LONG ENOUGH TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AT THE NEXT EXIT, ABOUT 500 FEET AWAY. CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. CAR IS NOW AT DEALER. *TR
