Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The cooling fan began turning on and blow at maximum power by itself. this happened several times. i was not until we talked with a another person who also experienced the same problem, that we found it there was a recall by bmw. we took our vehicle to the dealer (in buena park,ca) and was told that we had to pay for repairs because we waited to long to bring the vehicle in! remember - neither savage bmw nor bmw north america notified us about the defect! so we had to pay for the repairs out of pocket and the dealer refused to reimburse us. *nm
