| After almost four years of ownership the brake became hard and didn't want to depress upon starting. since you have to depress the brake to start the car, this created hard starting problems. it seems to be linked to cold weather and a cold car (when the car hasn't been operated for a while). the dealer performed a repair per a technical service bulletin and implied this would fix the problem. when it didn't they first contacted bmw of north america, then told me they couldn't duplicate the problem and this was normal operation for the car. incredibly insulting. there is some discussion on various internet sites about this issue, so bmw does know about it. since the brake is involved it is worrisome, even though at the moment it is only a starting issue. | |||

| Tl-the contact owns a 2006 bmw 330xi (na). while the vehicle was parked, he noticed that the paint on the leather was peeling on all the door handles, the gear shifter, the center console and the radio. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they advised him to contact the manufacture. the manufacture referred him back to the dealer to take pictures and he then would be contacted by the regional manager. the regional manager advised him that they would pay for the parts but not the labor. the vehicle has not been repaired because the contact wants the manufacture to pay the entire bill. the approximate failure mileage was 36,000 and the current 40,200. vwb | |||
