| Bmw e46 series cars, (1999-2006), have a weak point on the rear subframe mounting points. over time, these points tear and cause the subframe to crack and begin to tear the body and frame of the car. my 2004 bmw m3 is experiencing this exact problem at the moment. there is numerous class action lawsuits open on this issue as well. *tr | |||

| 2004 bmw 330xi sedan (e46) rear tail light indicator light consistently comes on, even though there is no tail lamp failure. online community forums report that this is likely due to ground wire short in the tail lamp assembly. cost of repair at dealership estimated at $700. currently being investigated by nhtsa as ea09-019, but i'm wary of being overcharged by dealership for what should be a recall. *tr | |||
