| I purchased a 'certified bmw 330i in december of 2006 and have had the fuel pump replaced, instrument carrier replaced, both passenger window regulators replaced, sunroof repaired, headliner repaired (it just fell down one day). the car won't start right up, and when it does it runs real hard and the rpm goes up suddenly, the car takes a minute before it will even move & then it does so fast! i have had it in several times with this complaint and they can't diagnose what's wrong with it. i was told that the computer isn't showing anything, so it will have to get worse before they can diagnose it. wow! i've only had the car for 8 mos. and i've been to the dealership more times than i can remember. i'd like to know how they determine a car to be certified? it sure doesn't seem as though it was checked too thoroughly to me. and oh did i mention i had to take it to goodyear today for defective tires, that bmw wouldn't cover. thanks goodyear at least you stand behind your products! this is my 2nd bmw and my last! please feel free to share this to bmw of north america!!! *tr | |||

| Since buying my car, i had issues with the flat tire monitor indicator light coming on. i continually checked the pressure of all 4 tires and ventually, this past september, after only 1,845 miles, had to have a tire repaired (cost $15). the diagnosis was simply a leaking bead. at 2,651 miles, another tire suffered irreparable damage caused. also, from a leaking bead. a replacement tire will need to be ordered ($217+), and since there's no spare with my mini, i need to make other transportation arrangements. i am extremely disappointed that leaking beads, a very rare problem with any other car but this one, continue to be problematic with my mini being so young.*ak i have checked the mini owner's manual and the distance and speed driven with the run flat pirelli tires were well below both the speed and distance limits indicated. i feel strongly that both mini and pirelli are seriously deficient in this circumstance. the actual mounting of these tires was obviously not done very well, nor does the advertised capabilities of the run flat pirelli eufori tire seem to be reasonable. | |||
