My fuel tank sucked itself inward due to a defective vent hose. Bmw knows about this problem and issued a service flash in 1998. (16 04 97) the vent hose is connected to the charcoal emissions canister. Presently, my tanks capacity is reduced by a factor of over . Furthermore, my tank leaks gasoline from a crease in the dent, which resulted from the inward collapse. I have personally read the stories of at least 30 other bmw model e38 owners, who have also experienced this. In some cases, their fuel tanks ruptured without warning, spilling gasoline all around their vehicles while driving. This is a very serious safety issue that should not be ignored by bmw any longer. *tr

In 1995 i purchased a bmw 318ti. I have just learned that there had been three recalls on this bmw model. I did not receive any of the recall notices. Not one notice from bmw. The first recall had something to do with the heating and cooling system. The heater has not worked for 8 years and the a/c has problems also. Since learning of these recalls i really do not know what to do about these problems with my car. *tr

Fault in the contacts on lighting. A continuing fault on the brake circuit causes the warning lights to come on at different intervals during the driving experience. After changing 4 set of rear tail light bulbs during the course of the year i had my mechanic clean the contacts. Within 3 months on cleaning, the fault light came on again. After a day or so the light went out and has not returned. This is an ongoing problem as my bulbs were changed 3 times last year on front and rear lights. *jb

Problems running the vehicle and was told had oil leak due to failure of head gasket requiring $ 3000 repair. *jb

The delamination of the security glass on my bmw 750il. This has become a safety issue with other owners as well. My side and rear windows have become so cloudy that they look like magnifying glass. I literally have to let my windows down when approaching traffic to ensure my path is clear. *nm
