| Bmw 325i 2001 i was driving on the freeway when i started to hear the sound of metal dragging. i pulled over and noticed that the strap that holds the passenger side gas tank up had busted welds where the strap attaches to the front. the bracket that holds the strap was completely gone and you could see that the welds clearly broke. this seems very dangerous especially because the strap that dangles down drags on the ground and i'm sure causes sparks right under the gas tank that is unsupported due to the failure. upon looking on a bmw forum this is not an isolated incident and it has happened to others in the exact same place. my email is steven.cipres@gmail.com if you have any information you can give me to help make bmw take responsibility for this. | |||
