I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MY 1999 323I SINCE 4/30/2003 THAT THE BMW SERVICE TECHNICIANS CANNOT RESOLVE AT TWO SEPARATE BMW DEALERS IN MARYLAND, TISCHER BMW (WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR), AND TOWSON BMW. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE CHECK ENGINE, EML AND DSC (TRACTION) LIGHTS ALL COME ON AT THE SAME TIME, AND THE CAR LOSES POWER NOT ABLE TO GO ABOVE 40 MPH (APPARENTLY GOES INTO A FAIL SAFE MODE). THE LIGHTS THEN GO OUT ONE BY ONE AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF ABOUT FOUR TIMES, AND POWER IS RESTORED TO THE CAR. ALL IS WELL SEEMINGLY UNTIL IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN! NOTE: I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT OCCURS WHEN GOING DOWN A STEEP DECLINE SECTION OF ROAD, COASTING AT ABOUT 40 MPH.I CAN REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AT WILL, AND USUALLY WHEN YOU CAN REPRODUCE A PROBLEM, IT IS FIXABLE. THEY CHARGED ME OVER $500.00 AND DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM (THEY PUT A NEW IDLE SENSOR ON). THEY HAVE SINCE REIMBURSED ME FOR THIS TWO MONTHS LATER THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I TOOK IT TO BMW OF KENILWORTH TOWSON, THEY HAVE HAD IT ON FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME THEY RESET SOME DEFAULT SETTINGS AND CHARGED ME $90.00, NOT CERTAIN IF THIS WOULD FIX IT OR NOT. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT IT MAY BE A SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING ISSUE, AND A RECALL MAY BE IN THE WORKS. TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THEY PUT A NEW MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR ON AND CHARGED ME ANOTHER $400.00 (THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE 99% CERTAIN THAT THIS WOULD FIX IT) IT DID NOT! THE VERY NEXT MORNING WHILE RIDING TO WORK, THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN! TOWSON BMW ALSO SUPPOSEDLY SENT THE DME MODULE UP TO HOME OFFICE TO HAVE IT REPROGRAMMED.THIS DID NOT HELP EITHER.

ON MAY 20, 2004, I WENT OUT TO MY 1999 323I BMW, PARKED INSIDE A GARAGE, WHERE IT IS PARKED EVERY NIGHT AND MOST DAYS, AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE IS STUCK IN SUCH A WAY THAT NO ONE IS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. IF I WANT TO GET INTO THE CAR TO DRIVE IT, I HAVE TO GET INTO THE BACK SEAT OR IN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE, MAKING SURE THAT THE DOOR DOES NOT SWING BACK EVEN A LITTLE; OTHERWISE, THE DOOR LOCKS. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IN AN ACCIDENT. THUS FAR, I HAVE NOT HAD THIS CORRECTED AS THE DEALERSHIP WOULD LIKE ME TO DRIVE THERE AND CANNOT TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM MYSELF OR SEND ME ANYWHERE NEARBY. THE DEALERSHIP IS 30 MILES ONE-WAY AND I DON'T HAVE THE GASOLINE OR THE TIME. ANOTHER PROBLEM I'VE HAD WITH THE CAR IS THAT IT WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WITHOUT MY DOING ANYTHING, AND I FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, USUALLY HAVING TO APPLY THE BRAKE FULL-FORCE.

BMW 323I 1999 car safety problem was reported on Sept 19, 2005.BMW 323I 1999, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE . EVER SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR, I HAVE ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE ECM HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE ALREADY AND ON MANY OCCASIONS THE DEALER WOULD JUST RESET THE COMPUTER SO THAT THE MALFUNCTION LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. I AM POSITIVE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY SUCH E46 BMW 323I 4 DOOR CARS. THE ECM IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO HEAT OR COLD AND IT GOES OFF ONLY AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MILES. IT CAN SOMETIME TAKE DAYS FOR THE LIGHTS TO GO OFF. SECOND FAILURE IN THE E46 323I BMW'S IS THE AIR-BAG SENSOR UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT (PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR). THIS HAS TO BE CHECKED BY THE NHTSA AS I AM FACING THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE CAR ARE. BMW OWNER FORUMS ON THE INTERNET HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT DEALERS TRYING TO RIP THEM OFF ON SUCH PART REPLACEMENTS. *NM.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAAM3335XC.

BMW 323I 1999 car safety problem was reported on Sept 26, 2005.BMW 323I 1999, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING . I OWN A 1999 BMW 323I. RECENTLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON ALONG WITH THE SIGN FOR THE TRANSMISSION (THE EXCLAMATION IN THE CIRCLE). THEN THE POWER WAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED WHICH DIDN'T ALLOW ME TO DRIVE OVER 40 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE BMW DEALER NEAR MY HOME AND AFTER THEY RAN THE EXPENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC TEST THEY STILL WEREN'T SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. HOWEVER, THEY SAID THEY RECEIVED A BULLETIN FROM BMW TELLING THEM THAT RESETTING THE COMPUTER FOR THE TORQUE AND TRANSMISSION WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THIS WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX, AS IT ONLY LASTED FOR ONE WEEK. THE LIGHT STILL CAME ON AND THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS FRUSTRATES ME THAT THE BMW DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I KNOW OF SEVERAL OTHER BMW OWNERS AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ALL HAVE TRADED THEIR CARS IN FOR A HONDA OR SOME OTHER JAPANESE MADE CAR, WHICH I AM CONSIDERING TOO! HOWEVER, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO RESORT TO THIS, AS I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS LUXURY CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT. NEVERTHELESS, I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM, AS MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AMONG OTHERS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY BMW OWNERS AND DEALERS. A CO-WORKER'S HAD A '98 325 AND HAD ONLY ABOUT 70K MILES ON IT AND SHE HAD MAJOR ENGINE PROBLEMS AND SPENT ABOUT $3500 DOLLARS AND THE PROBLEM STILL WASN'T FIXED. SO, SHE TRADE HERS IN FOR A HONDA. I SPENT ABOUT $400.00 AND MY PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. I AM HESITANT TO POUR ANY MORE MONEY INTO FIXING MY CAR ESPECIALLY, AFTER MY FRIEND SPENT MUCH MORE AND HERS WASN'T FIXED, AND WHEN THE MECHANICS AREN'T SURE WHAT THE FIX IS. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ACROSS THE BOARD TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH MANY IF NOT ALL BMW'S AND THE MANUFACTURER DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT IT. JUST GO TO BMWCOMPLAINTS.COM TO SEE FOR YOURSELF.

BMW 323I 1999 car safety problem was reported on Apr 05, 2006.BMW 323I 1999, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . I JUST READ ABOUT THE PERSON WHO HAD THE 1999 THAT HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT GO ON. I HAVE HAD THE SAME THING. A MECHANIC FRIEND OF MINE SAID THAT WE SHOULD CHANGE THE "LIFETIME" FLUID AND IT MIGHT CLEAR IT OUT. WHEN PUT ON THE COMPUTER IT SHOWED A PROBLEM WITH THE 5TH GEAR. WE WENT AHEAD AND PAID TO HAVE THE FLUID CHANGED. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIRTY AND DEFINITELY A GOOD IDEA TO CHANGE IT....WELL IT DIDN'T RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BMW THAT I WILL NEED TO PROBABLY HAVE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REPLACED...BMW IS PART PUSHERS ONLY, NOT MECHANICS.....MY CAR IS A 1999 AND HAS ONLY 70K MILES ON IT...I HAVE NEVER HAD A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH A CAR WITH THAT LITTLE OF MILES ON IT. I HAD SOMEONE SUGGEST NOT USING THE 5TH GEAR SO I AM DRIVING IN S4 INSTEAD OF "D". SO FAR IT IS WORKING JUST FINE, HOWEVER MY ENGINE LIGHT STILL COMES ON PERIODICALLY. I AGREE THAT BMW SHOULD HAVE A LONG WARRANTY WHEN IT COMES TO TRANSMISSION ESPECIALLY WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ AND PRICE OF THIS "MOST WONDERFUL CAR". AT THIS POINT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER BMW. I TOO PLAN TO GO INTO A TOYOTA OR HONDA. *JB.Bmw 323i 1999 problem was reported in BUENA PARK, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

BMW 323I 1999 car safety problem was reported on Dec 17, 2007.BMW 323I 1999, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING MY 1999 BMW 323I, HE PULLED FORWARD AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE ON OUR STREET IN ORDER TO BACK INTO OUR DRIVEWAY. AFTER PUTTING IT IN REVERSE AND TRYING TO BACK UP, THE ENGINE REVVED AND ACTED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL, THE REVERSE GEAR FAILED. IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN THE NEXT DAY AND WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 10 DAYS. I WAS PARKED AT A SHOPPING CENTER AND WHEN I TRIED TO BACK OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE, THE REVERSE AGAIN FAILED. AFTER A LONG WAIT, THE PERSON WHO WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF ME LEFT AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL FORWARD AND DRIVE HOME. THE REVERSE WAS WORKING AGAIN BY THE TIME I GOT HOME. IT BEGAN FAILING MORE FREQUENTLY, BUT USUALLY WILL COME BACK SOONER OR LATER. WE TOOK IT TO OUR BMW MECHANIC, HE SAID THE SEAL APPEARED TO BE BROKEN AND FLUID HAD LEAKED OUT. HE REFILLED THE FLUID AND ORDERED A NEW SEAL. THE REVERSE WORKED FINE FOR 2 DAYS, THEN STARTED FAILING AGAIN. THE MECHANIC INFORMED US THAT SINCE THE REVERSE FAILED SO QUICKLY, THE SEAL WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND WE WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON MY OWN ONLINE, I SEE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS WIDESPREAD AND UNRESOLVED.

APPARENTLY THE TRANSMISSION FAILS IN 5TH GEAR AND DEFAULTS TO 4TH GEAR, WHICH NOT ONLY CAUSES IT TO DRIVE DIFFERENTLY, BUT CAN CAUSE OTHER EXPENSIVE ISSUES. AFTER READING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION, I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT BMW HAS LET THIS GO AND HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL.

BMW 323I 1999 car safety problem was reported on May 17, 2007.BMW 323I 1999, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . I DISCOVERED ONE MORNING THAT MY CAR WOULDN'T GO IN REVERSE. IT SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD "CATCH", BUT IT WOULDN'T ACTUALLY GO ANYWHERE. I TOWED IT TO MY REGULAR REPAIR SHOP, AND THEY QUOTED ME $6000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I FOUND A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO QUOTED ME $1600-$3500 TO ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF REPLACE, SO I HAD THE CAR TOWED A SECOND TIME OVER TO THEM. SHOP CALLED BACK AND SAID NEITHER BMW OR GM WILL SELL HIM ALL THE PARTS HE NEEDS TO DO FIX IT. BMW DOESN'T OFFER THEM (ONLY WHOLE TRANSMISSIONS), AND GM WON¿T WARRANTY THE PARTS IF THEY¿RE INSTALLED ON A BMW. HE ALSO SAID HE¿D DONE SOME RESEARCH ON MY CONCERNS WITH THE 1999 TRANSMISSION, AND THAT THERE WERE NO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS FROM BMW ON IT. THERE WAS A BULLETIN ON THE 2000 ¿ZL¿ MODEL TRANSMISSION BUT NOT ON MINE (WHICH HE SAID WAS A 5L40-E MODEL), SO HE DOESN'T THINK THERE¿S A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. BMW STARTED USING THE 5L40-E TRANSMISSION HALFWAY THROUGH 1999 WHEN THEY CHANGED THE 323 OVER FROM THE E36 TO THE E46 CHASSIS. AND ALTHOUGH THERE IS A NEW COMPLAINT ON THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS PAGE ALMOST DAILY REGARDING FAILURE TO GO IN REVERSE, BMW HAS NOT ISSUED A SINGLE SERVICE BULLETIN. THIS SAME TRANSMISSION, HOWEVER, WAS ALSO USED IN THE 2003 CADILLAC CTS, OF WHICH THERE ARE OVER 30 TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION. TWO OF THESE SPECIFICALLY MENTION FAILURE IN REVERSE. WHY WILL CADILLAC AT LEAST ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM, BUT BMW MAKES NO MENTION OF IT IN A VEHICLE THAT¿S BEEN ON THE ROAD FOUR YEARS LONGER? I KNOW A BULLETIN WON¿T HAVE ANY EFFECT ON MY NOW $5000 REPAIR BILL, BUT I THOUGHT I HAD DONE MY DUE DILIGENCE IN RESEARCHING THE 1999 323I, E46¿S, AND BMW IN GENERAL BEFORE I BOUGHT THE DAMN THING. IF I¿D HAVE KNOWN THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR WAS BOTH NON-SERVICEABLE AND PRONE TO FAILURE, I¿D HAVE BOUGHT A KIA. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 106000 miles.

BMW 323I 1999 car safety problem was reported on July 15, 2008.BMW 323I 1999, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . I BOUGHT A 1999 BMW 323I IN JANUARY OF 2000. IT WAS A CERTIFIED BMW. I HAVEN'T HAD MUCH TROUBLE WITH IT. I HAVE DONE TYPICAL MAINTENANCE, BRAKES, OIL CHANGES, NEW PLUGS, WIRES, ETC. LAST YEAR I NOTICED WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS MORE THAN 65 MILES PER HOUR THAT THE RPMS WOULD MOVE FROM 2500 TO 3000, AND A LIGHT SHOWED UP ON THE DASH. I GOT TO WORK AND CHECK MY MANUAL AND IT IS TELLING ME THE LIGHT IS A SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT. IF YOU SEE THIS LIGHT, PULL OVER, PUT IT IN PARK, PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WAIT AND RESTART THE ENGINE TO RESET TRANS. I TOOK IT TO MY REPAIR TECH AND HE PLUGGED MY CAR INTO HIS COMPUTER AND IT STATES THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING OUT OF 5TH GEAR. ESTIMATE FOR NEW TRANS IS $4,000. FOR A REBUILT TRANS IS $2,500.00. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR A 10 YEAR OLD CAR. I HAVE NOTICED IN THE WINTER MONTHS (COLD KEEPS TRANS FLUID THICKER??) THAT IT DOESN'T SLIP AS OFTEN, AND IN THE SUMMER MONTHS, IF I KEEP MY SPEED UNDER 65 MPH, IT DOESN'T SLIP AS MUCH. BUT IT IS A HASSLE, AND I AM JUST WAITING FOR IT TO GET WORSE. IT SLIPS OUT OF 5TH GEAR WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAYS MAKING IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO PULL OVER AND RESET THE CAR SO THAT IT WILL GO INTO 5TH GEAR. I DON'T ESPECIALLY LIKE TO DRIVE IT WHEN THE RPMS ARE SO HIGH, IT SEEMS TO BE PUTTING A STRAIN ON THE ENGINE, AND MY GAS MILEAGE HAS GOT TO BE DECREASING TREMENDOUSLY, WHEN IT SLIPS OUT OF 5TH GEAR. *TR.Mileage was 138000 miles.

I HAD THE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE BY BMW HIGHLY TRAINED TECHNICIANS SINCE YEAR 2000. THE CAR WAS SERVICE AT BMW IN 2007 FOR THE HEATING & AIR CONDITION COMPRESSOR (HVAC) AND BMW WAS INFORMED ABOUT THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT.

ON OR ABOUT 03 AUG 08, THE HEAD AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE CONDUCTING NORMAL DRIVING ON AN APPROVED HARD BALL ROAD. AFTER TAKING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND INFORMING BMW ABOUT THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT, THEY REPLIED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

BMW 323I 1999 car safety problem was reported on Feb 03, 2011.BMW 323I 1999, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW . WE WERE DRIVING DOWN SEPULVEDA BLVD. IN LOS ANGELES, CA AT 7:30 PM. WE BELIEVE WE HIT A POTHOLE AT 35 MPH. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE TIRES OR WHEELS, BUT THE SIDE IMPACT CURTAIN AIRBAG ON OUR 1999 BMW 323I SUDDENLY DEPLOYED. WE RESEARCHED RECALLS ON OUR VEHICLE. WE FOUND THE FOLLOWING: NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 02V223000 SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN 4-DOOR PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE SIDE AIR BAG SYSTEM COULD DEPLOY IN CERTAIN NON-CRASH IMPACTS, SUCH AS WHEN CONTACTING LARGE POTHOLES OR CURBS AT SUBSTANTIAL SPEEDS. CONSEQUENCE: THIS COULD CAUSE THE SIDE AIR BAG AND HEAD PROTECTION SYSTEM TO DEPLOY WITHOUT AN ACTUAL SIDE CRASH OR IMPACT SEVERE ENOUGH TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. UNEXPECTED DEPLOYMENT OF THE SIDE AIR BAG COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF THE OCCUPANT'S HEAD IS RESTING NEAR THE SIDE AIR BAG. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL RECALIBRATE THE CENTRAL AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH A NON-CRASH DEPLOYMENT. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN OCTOBER 25, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT BMW AT 1-800-831-1117. WE CONTACTED BMW AT THE ABOVE 800 NUMBER. WE WERE TOLD THAT BASED ON OUR VIN # THAT WE WERE NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. BEING THAT OUR CAR IS THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF THE CAR IN THE RECALL, AND THAT THE EXACT CONSEQUENCE DID OCCUR, IT SEEMS ODD THAT BMW IS SAYING THAT WE ARE NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. NOW, BMW WANTS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, WHICH IN ALL APPEARANCES IS A MANUFACTURER FAULT. *TR .Mileage was 160000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBAAM3332XF.

BMW CHOSE TO DENY ME REPAIR, CITING THAT THEY HAD MAILED ME A LETTER ABOUT THE PROGRAM PREVIOUSLY (THAT I HAD NEVER RECEIVED) & THAT THE PROGRAM HAD NOW ENDED. AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT PARTY, I CONTACTED[XXX]TO SEE IF BMW WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR SOME OF MY COSTS OF REPAIR AND CAR RENTAL, SEEING AS HOW THEY WERE A FRACTION OF THE QUOTE FROM BMW.
