BMW M ROADSTER 1999 car safety problem was reported on Sept 18, 2006.BMW M ROADSTER 1999, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT . FOUR MONTHS AGO I PURCHASED A STOCK EXCELLENT CONDITION 99 M ROADSTER (MY 4TH BMW IN 5 YEARS). 75000 MILES, NO TRACK TIME, NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE DRIVELINE. NORMAL DRIVING HAS CAUSED THE DIFFERENTIAL MOUNTS TO FAIL - THE MOUNT IS RIVETS TO THE TRUNK BED AND THE RIVETS ARE POPPING OUT. IF I LAY ANY SIGNIFICANT POWER THROUGH THE DRIVELINE THE DIFFERENTIAL WILL TORQUE RIGHT OFF. MY DIFFERENTIAL IS FALLING OFF DUE TO NOTHING MORE THAN ILL-DESIGN. I WILL HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO REBUILD AND SUPPORT THIS AREA BECAUSE THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND IT'S NOT REALLY DRIVABLE. I HEAR FROM LOCAL FOLKS AND READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND BMW'S ONLY REPAIR IS BACK TO FACTORY SPEC. CONSIDER THIS COMPLAINT OFFICIAL FROM ME TO BMW FOR THEIR INADEQUATE DIFFERENTIAL MOUNT DESIGN ON THE Z3 BODY. TRUE REPAIR WILL BE VERY COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING. *JB.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 75000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WBSCK9337X1.

BMW M ROADSTER Seats

BMW M ROADSTER 1999 Safety Review #10168927

BMW M ROADSTER 1999 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 2006.BMW M ROADSTER 1999, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with SEATS . I OWN A 1999 BMW Z3 ROADSTER, PURCHASED IN NOV 1998. RECENTLY, THE FRONT AND REAR SEAT HAVE BEGUN TO SLIP FORE AND AFT, AS WELL AS ROCK SIDE-SIDE . BOTH SEATS ARE MOTORIZED. I HAVE HAD THE SEATS EXAMINED BY MY MECHANIC WHO TELLS ME THE WORM GEAR/CRADLE ASSEMBLIES FOR BOTH SEATS ARE EXCESSIVELY WORN AND THAT TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF BOTH SEAT ASSEMBLIES. INTERESTINGLY, MY MECHANIC TELLS ME EVERY Z3 THEY HAVE SEEN HAS DEVELOPED THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS STATEMENT WAS CONFIRMED BY THE BMW DEALER, ALTHOUGH NOT IN SO MANY WORDS. ALTHOUGH MY CAR IS A 1999 IT HAS ONLY 29600 MILES ON IT. I AM ALSO UNLIKELY TO HAVE OVERLY-STRESS THE SEATS AS I AM 5'6" AND WEIGH 139 POUNDS. I AM WRITING TO ASK IF THE NHTSA HAS RECEIVED ANY OTHER REPORTS OF SEAT FAILURE IN Z3 AUTOMOBILES, SINCE BMW NORTH AMERICA TELLS ME THAT THEY CONSIDER THIS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR." THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME RONALD AIKAWA, MD. *NM.Mileage was 29000 miles. Bmw M Roadster 1999 problem was reported in PHOENIX, AZ. Original Owner. Vehicle was purchased on 19991022.
