BMW Z4 2009 car safety problem was reported on Dec 30, 2013.BMW Z4 2009, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with WHEELS . aluminum wheel (style 296) crack on the inside bead. car has 22,000 miles on 1/23/14 and 3 wheels currently have cracks. the cracks prevent the tires from maintaining air pressure and lowers the structural integrity of the rim, causing a safety hazard. bmw is only offering to repair one wheel under warranty because the runout on the other 2 wheels was 0.059" which they are claiming indicates that the wheels are damaged due to a road hazard but offered no visual evidence of damage. online research indicates there is a high rate of failure of the 296 style wheel and contributing factors include the design of the 19" wheel, the use of 30 series (rear) or 35 series (front) run-flat-tires and the negative camber. the negative camber puts the majority of the forces and load from the road onto the inside bead of the rim. the run-flat-tires have extremely stiff and short sidewalls to allow the tires to be driven with no air, which transmits the forces from the road directly to the rim without the normal cushion of a standard tire. the design of the rim does not add additional strength to the inside bead to make up for the additional loads caused by the camber and run-flat-tires. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 22000 miles.

BMW Z4 2009 car safety problem was reported on Apr 22, 2014.BMW Z4 2009, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with WHEELS . when i got into my car one morning the sensor went off letting me know that i had a low tire pressure. i went and filled the tire to the proper level; i thought everything was fine, then the next following morning the same thing happened. i took the car in to get it checked out and they found that the rim was cracked in 4 places. i was wondering how the rim could have gotten cracked cause i barely drive the car, sits in the garage most of the time, i drive on even roads when i do, but i have only had the car for 4 months, purchased it from car max. i went to various posts and found out that there is a problem with the rims that bmw put on the z4 35i because they are run flat tires (which my car initially had on them). when i purchased the car, run flats wasn't on this car. i think there should be a recall on these wheels (rims) because if the rim failed while on the highway...it could have been devastating. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 21159 miles.

BMW Z4 2009 car safety problem was reported on May 24, 2014.BMW Z4 2009, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with ENGINE . the car has stalled multiple time when coming to a stop. in some instances i did not have to come to a complete stop such as crossing a divided highway, just slowed significantly. as i went to accelerate through the intersection the engine had stalled and i was stuck in the middle of the intersection with no power. car starts right back up each time but you must stop to place the car in drive(automatic transmission). nearly hit by oncoming traffic on 3 separate occasions. dealership was able to replicate, sold me a $400 battery as the fix. car stalled on the way home from dealership. returned the car but they could not replicate and since the instances did not produce a fault code they could do nothing. car continues to stall which makes it a safety hazard. there are 100's of post on bmw forums with the same issue but bmw claims to have no knowledge of the issue. someone needs to step in and make them address the issue. this is not the known battery cable issue, that was replaced per recall. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 28000 miles.
