1989 bmw 325i - fuel line disintegration. There was a recall in 1994 - went to dealer to have fixed - dealer decline "no outstanding recall", called bmw 800 831 1117 on 2/6/2007 - provided vin and was told there was no outstanding recall on this vehicle. The problem described in recall 94v066000 is being experienced by this vehicle. If bmw fixed it, the fix is defective. A 1989 car should not have fuel lines degrading an spilling gasoline on the engine. Seems the recall needs another recall or there will be a fire and personal injury or death. *jb

Front seat belt laches are difficult to latch. They also come unlatched by themselves periodically while driving. I have two bmw's an 87 325e and an 89 325i that have both had this problem. It is very unnerving to wonder whether the lach on the seatbelt will hold you if you have an accident.*ak

Problem with cooling system began within approximately one month of purchase date (. Car bought used, from mechanic/bmw authorized repair service (same mechanic in following narrative). Noticed 1): coolant light coming on; coolant level slightly low; told problem was defective computer chip, told to keep eye on coolant level; brought car in again because light coming on more often, coolant level low to empty in overflow after medium-long distance drive (75 - 100 miles); told to just keep putting coolant in overflow, nothing was wrong; asked mechanic to check the coolant system every time we brought car in for regular maintenance; same problem continues, but travel distance is less (50-75 miles), brought in again, told radiator leaking; mechanic put stop-leak in it; same problem, even less travel distance (30 miles); replaced radiator; same problem continued,(after driving 25-35 miles), told to keep eye on coolant level; travel distance 13 miles, light goes on, engine makes loud noise; took car in, told coolant got into engine and head or engine block probably cracked as a result of over-heating, even though temp gauge never indicated any overheating; told for first time that temp gauge does not register after coolant falls below a certain level: told this was a bmw problem because of where the sensor is located; told problem could be solved with a "stop-leak" type of product for the engine; same problem occurred again:light on, coolant level 0; finally just told 8-22-05 the head is cracked. 2):front window wouold not defrost, even when we wiped it off. 3): smell of gasoline: told there was no problem. We have had this car in the shop for the coolant problem this last time for over 3 weeks. We have spent a few thousand dollars prior to this latest diagnosis, now mechanic says it will cost us at minimum 1400 for a used head. Defrost problem not solved; gasoline smell still there.
