Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I recently had the rear end of my car detached itself from the supreme while driving down the road. i have brought the car to several mechanic and have had every individual mechanic say he has seen it happened to my same exact car. and also said i was lucky i didn't crash. after having the car looked at by a mechanic he said that bmw had manufactured the subframe mounts insufficient and it has resulted in thousands of cases of rear ends falling off of the cars and it is not something that happens with wear and tear. luckily my car broke right in front of a transmission shop so i was able to pull over before i had any major trouble. but it is a really dangerous thing that i think should fully be investigated and bmw should do something about it. *la
