| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 330i bmw in december of 2003. the car has less then 1500 miles on it and has developed a huge problem. in the mornings when the engine is cold, the engine will rev when its in drive and not go into gear. it takes quite a few seconds for it to engage into 'd'. the car will also jerk into 1st gear after it finally starts to drive. i have just taken my brand new bmw into the dealership for test on it and unbelievable to my ears.....i got a phone call from them saying the whole engine transmission has to be replaced...."there is some kind of flaw".....after researching on the internet and finding out that the bmw 3 series has many complaints about this same problem..i feel like i have been ripped off and very upset. this should be a recall by bmw. this was my first bmw...and after this experience...may be my last...if nothing is done in the future to correct this obvious transmission flaw! *nm |
