Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 1999 bmw z3 2.3 roadster. the differential mount has torn away from the underbody of the car where it was welded when designed. this is the third complaint about this particular defect on this website but there are several more on bimmerfest.com. bmw na should be made aware of this design flaw and forced to do a recall on all cars they made with this flaw. i will seek all necessary legal action to hold them accountable. you don't pay $40,000 for a car they claim as the best car on the road to have a major safety issue like this exist. *ak
