Fuse # 56 and #57 blew leading to the inability to open any doors using the fob. The emergency key only unlocks the driver door from the outside. The other doors cannot be opened unless the fuse is replaced. In an emergency situation, had the fuses been damaged for some reason, and there was a fire in the vehicle or some other reason necessitated an emergency egress, the front seat passenger and likely the rear seat passengers might not be able to exit the vehicle. There is no way to open the doors in a power failure. BMW has no emergency door latch to bypass the electrical system as other cars do.

2 complaints: 1st complaint addresses "takata recall" dated Feb. 5, 2016 recall campaign no.16V-071 driver's front air bag. Service center "otto's" in West chester, pa still has not received the parts going on 2yrs. * 2nd complaint engine shut off while driving (55mph) on a busy interstate highway during heavy traffic with no warning the engine just shut off- no power!. it was a humid summer (July) morning BMW fault could have killed many, a very dangerous public safety hazard. I was stranded for hours unable to drive BMW. *adding insult to injury the high humidity could have set-off the airbag fault unresolved by BMW 18 months & counting. Otto's service center wanted almost $4K to repair plus an additional hefty sum under advisement for repairs to repair the work they completed less than a year ago (>$3K) for engine leaking oil - car over-heating

Vehicle has 2 incomplete recalls, no accidents I am reporting that I was never contacted

- Newbury Park, CA, USA

When I tried to close my sunroof, it would not close despite trying to reset it, so I took it in to a mechanic. They couldn't figure out what was wrong until they looked and the sunroof motor blew a fuse. They replaced the fuse, tried it again, and the motor blew the fuse again. So the sunroof motor has a fault. I heard recently that bmws are spontaneously combusting and that we should report any unusual things, so I'm reporting this. My car is still at the mechanic (bay bridge bimmers and minis in oakland) under repair. Their website is: www.baybridge-bimmers-minis.com/. occurred regardless of whether the vehicle was stationary, in motion, etc.

I opened the door and put key in, every thing looksed good. But I pushed start button, it could not start. Then all power went down: No lock/unlock, no radio, no light. Yet after some time, the power went back and I could start. This happened many times. I found many 2007 BMW 328I have the same problem. It's related to the B+ wire contact issue. BMW has a recall for that issue: There is a tsb for this E90 wont start - si B61 08

- Fremont, CA, USA

Out of no where the car didn't want to start up any more. It was parked in my driveway. At first I thought it was the battery but it wasn't. I had it checked out and they didn't know why it couldn't start. I checked online and then I noticed that there's been a recall for 3 series BMW due to electrical problems and I noticed that a lot of people were in my shoes.

Wiring insulation cracking degrading leaving exposed bare wiring causing shorts and possible fire in headlight wiring harnesses, wires are stationary do not move. Insulation is craked and falling off wires. Noticed failure during bulb replacement. Made this complaint after reading about numerous other BMW owners noticing same fault

- Grand Island, NY, USA

Plastic insulation has cracked and peeled on all wiring inside my front headlight housings. Exposed wiring creates a potential short circuit and fire hazard.

Since I got this car my oil was leaking. I had to replace the val cover. I can't remember how much that cost me. My steering lock module was replaced and it cost me $1,181.07. I had my belt tensioner replaced because it was bent. It cost me $327.04. This was done 3/6/2015. A recall on SRS air bag. I still have the air bag warning light. BMW recommended to replace of exhaust lifters and roller drag levers with updated unit to eliminate ticking noise at idle which will cost me $1,466.40. I need to replace alternator, belt, battery and the car won't start. I fixed the battery problem and as I was driving to work and parked the car would not start. My battery connection need to be replace. Common issue with all BMW. I will spend about 1,518.7 to fix the problem.

Gas gauge doesn't register full vs. Empty tank. My gas gauge always says empty even right after I fill it up. Seems to be a bigger issue, per my google search and think it needs a recall.

- Manhattan Beach, CA, USA

The rear doors won't lock and the front doors won't unlock and the gas lid won't open! this just happened out of nowhere. Read online by lots of folks that's it's an door actuator and wrong fuse. Dealer is very aware of the defect and lots of folks having the same defect - it really should be taken care of by the dealer!

My 2007 BMW 328I is having red steering wheel warning displayed on dash. I have read around the internet and this seems to be a common problem with BMW. Requires the entire steering column be replaced. This is a major safety issue if a person needs to start the car and is unable to start it because of a faulty latch and lever. A simple google search of "BMW steering wheel lock" brings up hundreds of pages and videos of people having issues with their vehicles. The light on my car is a steering wheel lock red. I checked my battery and it works perfectly fine. The problem is a faulty steering lock. The certified BMW dealer that sold the vehicle said this is normal of bmws. Normal meaning they know it will eventually go bad and the steering column has to be replace to correct it. What, the steering column has to be replaced. At some point the vehicle will go into a no start mode per BMW to prevent a steering wheel lock from engaging while operating. This is unethical and cost the consumer around 1500 us dollars to correct.
