at least not that many cars are affected and BMW found out about it quickly, hopefully no injuries due to this problem

I cannot get the link to open, could some one break it down for me. All i know is that my iDrive was jacked up and the ENTIRE computer (iDrive) system had to be replaced just this last week.

I didn't want to make a new thread but i just saw The SL65 AMG is 200k when comfortably equiped!

The base is 180k, when you ad options, it goes up 10k, and Tax has got to be 10k on a 190k vehicle!!!!! Holyshit there are used bentleys for 110k!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 200k SL is RiDiCuLoSSSSSSS

It's just a recall for 8-cylinder and 12-cylinder BMW's registered during certain times. Certain parts of the engine from BMW's supplier were faulty and could cause the engine to stop working, and BMW advises owners to stop driving their BMW's and contact their local dealer for information. Obviously, you're free and clear from the issue.
