Manufacturing defect, Piston heads crack and thick black smoke started to come. Car was shaking like I was in an earthquake. I thought that I am driving one of the premium cars which I bought brand new few months ago. There was no warning or any symptoms before this happened. I found out from the mechanic after they had opened the engine. He said this was manufacturing defect and nothing I could have done.

Very very disappointed and the only good thing was that it did not happen on the highway. The dealer has given me a Nissan Versa to drive and said It might take a month to fix and I am not happy driving that.

I said I want a new car as I don't feel comfortable driving this car again.

I have called BMW canada and complained and she said she will look into it.
