Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I experienced a typical problem with my 2000 bmw 323ci , as the subframe began to tear after only 57000 miles of use. after some complaining, i was able to get bmw to "goodwill" the repairs. but as soon as i picked up the car after the repairs were completed, the emergency brake parking light began to malfunction. it would come on when the brake was released etc. a couple weeks later the traction control light began to do the same thing. i didn't think too much of it, but now about 9 months later i have experienced severe electrical problems. first all the power stopped working, the headlights blinked, a/c and windows stopped working, power locks no longer worked. then it somehow fixed itself. but a couple weeks after, something else happened and now i cannot even start my car. again, it appears to be some sort of power problem, perhaps something draining the battery. *nm
