Bmw 325i 2003 Electrical System Review #10023814

BMW 325I 2003 car safety problem was reported on June 13, 2003.BMW 325I 2003, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . the computer first failed on my 2003 bmw 325i on june 15, 2003, (three weeks after i picked it up from the dealership, bmw of manhattan), causing me to lose acceleration without warning. i was travelling at 60-65 miles per hour in the far left lane of the garden state parkway. i was barely able to manuever the car to the shoulder of the road and i was lucky that there happened to be a very small shoulder on the left side of the road, as i would have never been able to make it to the shoulder on the right hand side of the road and traffic was very heavy. this sudden loss of acceleration could have easily caused a fatal accident; particularly, because the cars behind me had no way to detect that my car was only coasting. the nj state troopers had to shut down northbound traffic in all 4 lanes of the garden state parkway in order to remove my car from the parkway. the car was towed to the dealership.the dealership was unable to successfully reprogram the computer, so they sent it to montvale, nj to be reprogrammed. the dealership returned the car to me on june 20, 2003. on june 25, 2003, the computer failed again, causing the car to lose acceleration without warning. this time, i was exiting a parking garage and another car nearly slammed into me on the exit ramp. when i restarted the car, i was able to reach the top of the ramp and pull to the side of the road, (not an easy task during rush hour in midtown manhattan!), but the car lurched repeatedly and was unable to go more than 5 mph. the car was towed to the dealership.bmw of manhattan has been unresponsive to my telephone calls. the car clearly has a very serious defect, which could easily cause fatalities.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1143 miles.

BMW 325I 2003 car safety problem was reported on Feb 04, 2004.BMW 325I 2003, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION . intermittent severe engine miss. engine hesitation/failure to accelerate. engine surges and has very rough idle. transmission failure to up shift (maximum speed is approximately 50 mph). service engine soon light illuminates, but not always (intermittent). with less than 9,000 miles this car has been towed in three times for this and other failures which have left the car undriveable. bmw dealership service personnel have replaced many parts, without success, as far as we know (more later). these engine events can occur spontaneously, and are not always indicated by a "service engine soon" light illumination. the most dangerous situations are when it occurs as one comes to a stop before entering high speed traffic or when making a left turn. because the problem can occur spontaneously, if the engine were to stall or begin to run on less than its full complement of cylinders, it could leave one exposed to oncoming traffic with no way to accelerate. very dangerous. internet seaching after the latest "repair" attempt has exposed a "secret" bmw bulletin regarding bremi ignition coils. (apparently, this is the same coil brand used in the vw/audi cars with similar problems two years ago.) all six ignition coils, spark plugs, and a host of other parts have been replaced thus far. unknown if these attempts were successful as this car is no longer being driven--it's fate awaits a possible law suit against bmw. i strongly urge the nhtsa to recall every bmw with these coils, in addition to addressing bmw's efforts to not publicize this information more readily. please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions. mark peters pylt@comcast.net.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 3000 miles.

BMW 325I 2003 car safety problem was reported on Feb 04, 2004.BMW 325I 2003, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER . windshield wipers "auto" position causes wipers to fail to suddenly fail to operate during rain conditions. also, can cause distracting sweeps of the wipers with no rain or water, anywhere near the car or windshield sensor. oddly, dealership technicians were unable to repair; service writers refused to write it up as "normal" operation. bmw field service engineer noted the windshield sensor (which also contains controls for automatic lights) was massively delaminated from the windshield, thus requiring the replacement of the entire windshield for this small part. issues: 1. normal "erratic" operation of wipers (and automatic headlights) is acceptable to bmw service writers. 2. wipers are a critical safety function, yet with bmw's system they can apparently operate erratically due to a bad sensor "bond" with the windshield. 3. the cost of a replacement windshield is high--out of warranty many drivers may not bother to address this issue given the massive cost (and absurdity) of replacing an otherwise perfect windshield. this could lead to an accident if the driver were to be in the "auto" wiper function with a failed system. please feel free to contact me if you would like additional information. mark peters pylt@comcast.net.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 8479 miles.

BMW 325I 2003 car safety problem was reported on Nov 23, 2009.BMW 325I 2003, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . 2003 bmw 325i 4-door sedan - problem: electric door locks will not always unlock with key fob. persistent with colder ambient temperatures (less than 65 degrees f). i can unlock drivers door with key, but no other doors unlock. issue: the door locks double-lock meaning when doors are locked, they can't be opened from outside or inside (by pulling on handle). the only door that unlocks with interior handle pull is drivers door. if vehicle is in an accident my passengers will not be able to unlock their doors to exit vehicle! they are basically locked inside. this is a big safety issue, especially if there is a danger of fire or some other event that necessitates quickly exiting the car. my research: i've basically narrowed it to the gm5 module that controls the door locking and unlocking. this module controls some other vehicle functions as well. the door locking function works great, but unlocking is sporadic with ambient temperature fluctuations. opinion: there should be an investigation opened on this issue. reading several bmw user forums this appears to be a common problem across many vehicle years. the double-locking door locks are a nice anti-theft feature, but are dangerous if the system malfunctions. bmw must acknowledge a defect is present in the gm5 module and take appropriate action. *tr.Mileage was 70000 miles.

BMW 325I 2003 car safety problem was reported on Dec 23, 2009.BMW 325I 2003, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . bmw 325i rear blinkers shorted out causing electrical wires to burn. while driving my bmw a warning light on my console turned on indicating the left rear brake/blinker light(s) went out while at the same time i smelled wiring burning. i stopped the car and all my lights seemed ok, so i presumed it was a faulty sensor. a short while later while driving down the freeway i pulled into the left lane and really pissed the driver off behind me and nearly caused an accident. at this moment i noticed my left blinker was making a fast noise as though the left blinker bulb(s) was out. i pulled over a second time to check my blinkers, fearing i would cause an accident, and all my flashers, brake lights and blinkers were working fine. the warning lights on the console went on and off intermittently. i purchased a new bulb hoping this would solve the problem, but everything seemed ok and functional. when i returned from my trip, i was told by two european auto shops and the service manager of a bmw dealership that bmw is aware of a ground problem with the rear light cluster. when i unsnapped the plastic connection from the rear light cluster, the metal prongs and plastic were melted away. the heat apparently was so hot, the solid metal prongs 1/4" long completely melted including the plastic casing. a bmw dealership employee told me that this issue is common when driving in the city when one is using the brakes and blinkers incessantly, particularly in heavy traffic. "the grounding wire isn't heavy enough to withstand the demand for electricity required by the brake and blinker lights simultaneously". this is a known bmw defect and this can easily cause an accident, as in my case, not to mention a lot of drivers really pissed off when i cut in front of them thinking my blinkers are working. this is an issue bmw should repair! *tr.Vehicle was on fire.

BMW 325I 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 01, 2010.BMW 325I 2003, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . we own a bmw 325i series 2003 sedan. while my daughter started the car she noted the left headlight went out on the driver's side of the car. she was only around 4 blocks away so proceeded to drive home and during the drive she experienced her brakes grabbing and steering difficulties. all the dashboard indicator lights came on. we took the car that night to bmw to drop off for evaluation. the service manager stated that the xenon headlight failed and took at the steering system panel and had to be all rewired. he said they had never seen this happen before. i am concerned this is a safety concern in the wiring of the xenon headlight to effect a steering panel when the headlight goes out. the effect on the steering panel is immediate and gives no time to replace the headlight without further damage to the car. the cost to repair was 1800.00. this is very concerning. 2 months later the blinker headlight next to the xenon headlight fell completely out of the car held by a wire while my daughter was driving on the highway. it seems like there is an issue with the bmw 325i series headlights that to me is a great safety concern for those driving. i would appreciate your follow up to the make and model. i would be glad to provide my name for you to obtain copies of the service records on these events from our bmw dealership. thank you. *tr.Bmw 325i 2003 problem was reported in DUBUQUE, IA.

BMW 325I 2003 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2009.BMW 325I 2003, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . i purchased my bmw 325i in august of 2006. since that purchase i have only driven it approximately 9-12 months collectively. the car was purchased with 37500 miles and now has 70,000 miles. the problem appears to be the electrical system which causes the lights to turn off and on when they feel like it. this car has been sitting in my driveway for the past 9 months because it is unsafe to drive and will not pass inspection. i have had it to numerous bmw dealerships, they can not find the problem. all the issues seem to be electrical in nature and are very hard to accurately diagnose. the bottom line is i am charged thousands of dollars to repair the car but car is still not safe. the rear lights have burned out and the right front light goes on and off at will. the last incident occurred in dec 2009 when the car lit up like a christmas tree (the only time all of the lights worked.) however, when you turn the car on, the lights went off again. the car had to be towed to the shop where it remained until january 2010. i was charged $2700 and still can't get this beast inspected. this has gone beyond the point of ludicrous. i am completely disgusted with the "ultimate driving machine". in essence i am paying 650 dollars a month for nothing. the last mechanic that looked at the car recommended that we should replace the front lighting system because the current system that is faulty is not meant to be replaced, so replacement parts are very expensive. in theory the lights should last the life of the car. this is not the case with my car and to replace the xenon lights with the more common halogen lights it will cost an estimated 2,000 dollars. this is not feasible with a car payment and until the car is paid off in 2012. it will sit in the driveway, a waste of a perfect car, my retirement car. *tr.Mileage was 40000 miles.

BMW 325I 2003 car safety problem was reported on Mar 09, 2011.BMW 325I 2003, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . my current vehicle is a 2003 bmw 325i with bi-xenon headlights manufactured by zkw. over the last year or two, the light output from the xenon headlights had dropped to the point where i get almost no noticeable illumination of the road at night (in average city levels of street illumination). i turned to using my foglamps to be able to see anything. after researching this problem on online forums, i examined the headlights myself and found that the upper portion of the projector bowls seem burned. they are made of plastic and painted with reflective paint, but the upper ~40% of the bowl is now browned and nonreflective. apparently this is due to an inability of the paint to withstand the high temperatures generated by the xenon bulbs. also, this seems to be common to many/all zkw brand headlights utilized in 2003-2004 model years of 3 series (e46) bmw vehicles, according to postings on the bmw-owner forums. for now, i have tried to remedy this by lining the burnt portion of the bowl with aluminum foil and can now notice some illumination of the road at night. this further argues that the burning/loss of reflective coating is what causes the loss of light output. *tr.Mileage was 75000 miles.

BMW 325I 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 31, 2014.BMW 325I 2003, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . my current vehicle is a 2003 bmw 325i with bi-xenon headlights manufactured by zkw. over the last year or two, the light output from the xenon headlights had dropped to the point where i get almost no noticeable illumination of the road at night (in average city levels of street illumination). i turned to using my foglamps to be able to see anything. mechanic inspected the headlight assembly and the upper portion of the projector bowls are burned. they are made of plastic and painted with reflective paint, but the upper ~60% of the bowl is now browned and nonreflective. this is due to an inability of the paint to withstand the high temperatures generated by the xenon bulbs. also, this seems to be common to many/all zkw brand headlights utilized in 2003-2004 model years of 3 series (e46) bmw vehicles, according to postings on the bmw-owner forums. reflector bowls can not be purchased and replaced separately and the entire headlamp assembly must be replaced at a cost of appx $2400. zkw has changed the design so there is sufficient evidence to suggest that they and bmw are aware of the design flaw and resulting safety hazard. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 130000 miles.

BMW 325I 2003 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2015.BMW 325I 2003, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS . i have received two separate recalls for airbag replacements on my car. the first was the passenger airbag and that recall was received in 2014. it took several months before i was able to have my front passenger airbag replaced. in july this year i have received a recall saying that i now need to replace the driver side airbag which describes the same risk: "...resulting in metal fragments striking the front driver or other passengers potentially resulting in serious injury or death." if bmw has created a car that could potentially result in my injury or death, should it not be reasonable for the problem to be fixed immediately? should it not be reasonable that i am given a loaner bmw at their expense (including insurance) while they fix this potentially life threatening problem with my car? why two separate recalls? why did they not fix both airbags at the same time? why does it take months to address this problem? how many potentially preventable serious injuries or deaths have occurred as a result?.Mileage was 122000 miles.
