I parked my car in the garage as usual. When i went out to leave home the steering was locked. Nothing out of the ordinary was done after parking it or when attempting to start it. The lights for the radio came on, the windshield wiper works, the lights on the console light up, but the steering wheel is locked and the key will not turn more than a few centimeters. *tr

While sitting in my 1991 bmw 525i the seat suddenly fell backward,and sideways. After removing the seat, and almost completely dissassembling it so i could try to realign the thing long enogh to make it home,i was able to through brute force put it back in place. Later after several subsequent failures i was able to pinpoint the problem.The cables that go between the electric drive motors and the seat adjustment gearboxes were sheathed in a failure-prone plastic! The plastic through time wears and stretches untill the drive cable slips out of gearbox allowing catastrophic failure. I just checked to see if this item had been recalled with no luck. *ak

Tail lights do not stay on due to defective sockets. The plastic sockets have melted from the heat of the tail light bulbs and no longer hold the bulbs in properly. They blink on and off and sometimes stay off all together. Dealer advised me to buy new ones @ $320 each to solve the problem. Since this is a safety defect, bmw should replace them. Dt

The speedometer operates irratically during cold weather. It functions ok when warm. This is caused by bad materials used on the speedometer pcb board. A number of bmw owners have experienced this problem and fixes are suggested on the internet at the following links. Http://www.Eskimo.Com/~dalus/bmw/speedo/speedo.Htm and at http://www.Eskimo.Com/~dalus/bmw/e30/interior/e30_speedo_sender_problem.Html. Unreliable or lack of indication of driving speed can be a serious safety issue. This appears to be a problem that many bmw owners have suffered as indicated by the number of people who have reported it on the web. The dealer wants over $600 to fix the problem. *mjs
