| STEERING | |||
| 10/01/2011 | |||
| We purchased our bmw 325 new in 2002. this car has been garage kept and well cared for. the vehicle has only 70,000 miles on the car. this car is now on it's 3rd set of control arms on the vehicle. i have heard this is a common problem but bmw refuses to issue a recall or service notification. obviously the parts that are being used to replace the previous parts are defective. we have been told that they are official bmw parts. if this defect was not discovered and failed at slower or at highway speeds it could cause life threatening injuries or worse. additionally the fix is very expensive to repair. can you look into this? | |||

| The steering column is kinked an inch to the left. i do not mean the wheel is turned to one o'clock, i mean the left side of the steering wheel is 1 inch closer to the dash board than the right. i cannot believe that the column is where it should be under the hood. the dealer said that a number of coupes have this problem. when i spoke to bmw they said talk with the dealer. i have asked for a letter to say this is safe and bmw has refused to issue such a letter.*ak | |||
