| Tl*the contact owns a 1988 bmw 325i. the contact stated that a gasket failed in the vehicle. the heater was activated and caused the system pressure to increase, which caused the gasket to burst. the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign id number 93v015000 (visibility:defroster/defogger system:windshield:heater core), but the dealer stated that they would not repair the gasket. instead, they will install a revise radiator cap and a bypass valve at the cost of $1,000-$1,500. the contact stated that this will not correct the failure with his vehicle. the failure mileage was 135,000. updated 02-23-09 *bf updated 02/29/09. *jb | |||

| My wife was driving her 1988 bmw 325is in the rain, and lost control. she was hit in a side impact by a late model chevrolet camaro traveling at approximately 40 mph. the hit was on the passenger side and my wife's passenger were severely injured. i believe that the bmw's door design is defective, as the passenger side was almost completely obliterated. the door did not crumple, but instead folded inward and upward, filling up the entire passenger compartment. please see pictures at: http://www.snowrabbit.org/325is_accident. *ak | |||
