Funf, Most of us don't have an OBD reader. Is there a message that comes up with the warning light? Want to know what I should be looking for.

By the way, I think what you are doing is a great idea. It would be nice to extend this to other major issues such as the HP fuel pump problem which has also been reported a few times. As owners we need to be vigilant and do our part to help expedite problem resolution. BMW is standing by their product with a 4 year warranty. That's a lot more than MB, Lexus, Audio and Porsche are doing.

The last major safety/reliability issue I found wasn't BMW's. It was the gas pedal on many Lexus (even 2010's) reportedly causing hundreds of crashes and at least three deaths. BMW needs to do a better job on Quality but right now, I sure am happy to be a BMW owner and not a Lexus one.
