| There is a current recall for 2002-2005 bmw (various models) regarding the rear lights. we are experiencing the same problems in our 2001 330i. the right rear tail lights do not work and the turn signal blinks and the turn signal sound is twice as fast as normal. i am writing to make your department aware that the model years should be expanded to include the 2001 bmw 330i. | |||

| Bmw 2001 330i sedan (4 doors). door locks are unresponsive during hot days. i live in orlando florida and this means almost all the year is hot. this is a critical problem because because for safety reasons you will get locked in your car. i am imagine if you have a car accident and you are not able to open the doors to leave the car? online (http://www.bmwgm5.com/) you can fine how bmw customers are dealing with the same problem. the guy on that website has a fix for that issue. i have seen this problem more than 50 times in 2 years. bmw should do a recall for this issue. | |||
