Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)WATER PUMP ISSUES, DEALER SUPPOSENLY FIXED MONTHS AGO. CAR IS LIKE NEW WITH 40K + MILES AND ALREADY WATER PUMP REPLACED. THEN NOTICED SMOKE & BURNING SMELL LIKE POSSIBLE FIRE FROM ENGINE AREA A WEEK AGO WHILE CAR IN IDLE, I THEN TOOK IT TO DEALER NEXT DAY AND SOMETHING WASNT REPLACED BY DEALER DURING WATER PUMP EXCHANGE/REPLACEMENT. I THINK IS A LIE, I CERTAINLY THINK VEHICHLE HAVE THAT STEERING ISSUE. ALSO PASSENGER DOOR FROM INSIDE DIDNT OPEN ANYMORE WHICH IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. BUT CAR LIKE I SAID IS LIKE NEW TO ME FOR IT TO BE 3 YEARS OLD WITH 40K MILES. JUST MAJOR FAULTS FOR SUCH AGE OF CAR. BAD BMW MAKER FOR PRICEY CAR AND SO MANY ENGINE / ELECTRICAL ISSUE ISSUES.

WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN (STATE POLICE WITNESS TO THAT)
