| Four times since i buy a 2003 bmw 325i , i have to get the auto to guarantee service for replacement of the struct front bushing, now , after replace them at 32,000 miles about four month ago, my car at 37,000 miles request a new bushings. they said me that bmw was no longer replace them by guarantee because of the road conditions in puerto rico. when i buy the car i paid for a guarantee and i think that is impossible that a car like this , the ultimate drive machine require every four month to replace that parts. they should install a good reinforced genuine parts and not a remanufactured. i always try to avoid the holes, but i ask when it's raining it start a red light that indicated please avoid this hole . *tr the dealer stated replaced lens and cover disc for both headlights, noises coming from both rear shock absorbers, replacing alternator drive belt tensioner, tensioner and pulleys, and removing and installing left or right rubber strip. updated 10/24/07 *tr | |||
