BMW M COUPE 2000 Safety Review #10133486

BMW M COUPE 2000 car safety problem was reported on May 25, 2005.BMW M COUPE 2000, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS . TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, AS AN OWNER OF A 2000 BMW Z3 M COUPE E36/8, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE DESIGN DEFECT OF THE SUB-FRAME ON MY VEHICLE. I LEASED MY VEHICLE NEW ON 12/1999 AND UPON THE EXPIRATION OF THE LEASE, PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM BMWNA ON 10/2002; I HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER/OPERATOR OF THIS VEHICLE. DURING THIS TIME, I HAVE PLACED OVER 49,000 STREET DRIVEN MILES ON THE CAR WITH ABSOLUTELY NO COMPETITIVE EVENTS (I.E. RACING, AUTOCROSSING, DRAG-RACING, ETC.). THAT SAID, LESS THAN THREE MONTHS AGO, A MECHANIC DISCOVERED AND SUBSEQUENTLY REPAIRED THE BEGINNINGS OF A CRACK ON THE DIFFERENTIAL MOUNT OF MY SUBFRAME. BASED ON EXPERIENCE OF FELLOW BMW Z3 OWNERS IN THE COMMUNITY, MY CONFIDENCE IN THE SUB-FRAME DESIGN IS WANING. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION YOU REQUIRE OF ME TO FACILITATE THIS REQUEST. .Mileage was 48000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBSCM9346YL. Bmw M Coupe 2000 problem was reported in BRENTWOOD, CA. Original Owner. Vehicle was purchased on 19991210. Vehicle was using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.Vehicle was using Cruise Control.Vehicle had 6 CYLINDERS.

BMW M COUPE 2000 Safety Review #10133961

BMW M COUPE 2000 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2004.BMW M COUPE 2000, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with STRUCTURE . MY MODEL YEAR 2000 BMW Z3 M COUPE HAS SUFFERED FROM THE PROBLEM OF FAILED WELDS IN THE REAR FLOOR AREA OF THE HATCH. THE FIRST INSTANCE OCCURRED AT APPROX. 83,000 MILES, WHILE THE SECOND WAS AROUND 115,000 MILES. FORTUNATELY ON BOTH OCCASIONS I NOTICED THE PROBLEM AND HAD IT REPAIRED BEFORE THE PROBLEM BECAME SIGNIFICANT, BUT A NUMBER OF MY FRIENDS WITH Z3 M ROADSTERS, Z3 M COUPES AND Z3S HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WITH NEAR CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. IN ONE CASE, THE CAR IS LITERALLY TOTALLED BECAUSE THE ENTIRE REAR END TORE APART ON THE HIGHWAY. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE FACTORY WELDS FAIL, ALLOWING MAJOR METAL PANELS TO MOVE EASILY WHICH COMPROMISES THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE BACK HALF OF THE CAR. ONCE THE REAR FLOOR (OR TRUNK AREA IN THE ROADSTER) FAILS, THE SWAYBAR MOUNTS AND DIFFERENTIAL MOUNTS ARE FREE TO MOVE RANDOMLY, ULTIMATELY OVERWHELMING THE REAR SUBFRAME MEMBER WHICH ANCHORS THE REAR SUSPENSION CONTROL ARMS. THE RESULT OF THIS RANGES FROM MINOR - YET QUITE EXPENSIVE - TO CATASTROPHIC. TO DATE, BMW HAS CLAIMED THIS OCCURS BECAUSE THE CARS ARE DRIVEN IN COMPETITIVE EVENTS OR WITH AFTERMARKET ACCESSORIES, BUT I KNOW OF MULTIPLE CARS THAT ARE STOCK AND NOT DRIVEN HARD AND YET HAVE SUFFERED THIS FAILURE. I HAVE TO ADMIT MINE IS ON NON-STOCK SPRINGS AND SHOCKS... SO I DOUBT MY FILING WILL BE MUCH HELP IN YOUR ANALYSIS. FOR THAT REASON ALONE I HAVE NOT DOCUMENTED THE FAILURES WITH BMW. NEVERTHELESS IT IS ANOTHER DATA POINT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF MORE DETAILS ARE NEEDED. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 83000 miles.

Question? My door lock do not work and my battery is dead. I was told there is a positive connection beneath the car by the passenger side, which will give enough power to unlock the doors if hook up to a power pack. I am a owner of a 2000 4.4i X5
