| The bmw that i drive is subject to catastrophic engine failure. there have been over 125 reported and documented cases of the engine failing at an engine rpm that is well within the tolerances of the vehicle specifications. *ak these failures have resulted in engine lock ups, resulting in loss of control of the vehicle. bmw has acknowledged the issue in the s54 engine that drives the majority of the vehicles in the m class, however, they have ignored those of us driving the m roadster, still driven by the same engine. please advise. | |||

| I would like to file a complaint regarding the bmw s54 engines that are currently used in the bmw m roadsters. i am aware that there have been multiple letters mailed, e-mails sent and even an internet site established all pertaining to the problematic s54 engine.*ak a while back, bmw issued a service bulletin for all of the m3 vehicles that are powered by the aforementioned s54 engine, however, they went on to exclude the m roadster and the m coupe with the explanation that these vehicles are not impacted by this problematic and unsafe issue. well, as time goes on, there have now been severl documented incidents specificaly involving the vehicles that bmw stated would not be impacted by this problem. i own an m roadster and the thought of the engine blowing up while i am driving down the highway scares the crap out of me. i understand that there have been letters sent to nhtsa regarding this issue but it appears as though nhtsa has not challenged bmw to eliminate this unsave condition from our roads. can you please respond to this e-mail with your official position on this important matter? tony | |||
