	I ran over a pot hole, about 4 deep, and both passenger side rims were bent so bad that they have to be replaced. the tires also had to be replaced along with the electronic power steering module. total cost of repair was $8,229 i previously had a bmw 750il 2008. i also hit a pot hole at about 45 mph and the front rim cracked and back rim bent. both the rims and tires had to be replaced and cost over $3000. the bmws are just to heavy for the aluminum rims they come with. in over 40 years of driving i have never had a problem with rims until i started driving bmws, and i have hit a number of pot holes before. someone should make bmws come equipped with steel rims. their cheap rims are going to get someone killed. *tr

	I was driving at about 50 mph. all of a sudden, without any warning, i heard pop, and noticed that the right passenger door had popped loose. immediately, warning lights and the interior lights came on. the passenger door was completely closed and locked when i started my commute. i had driven about 8 miles at the point when this happened. once i pulled over, i noticed that the door was still locked, but it was clearly ajar. not sure what caused this, but feel like this is could be a potentially serious safety concern. *tr
