#4293 of 4446 Re: 2006 330xi 75k+ mile maintenance? [bmwguys] by cdnpinhead Jun 16, 2009 (5:39 am)
Replying to: bmwguys (Jun 16, 2009 5:27 am) Go back and read messages 3675 & 4237. There's a "go to message # _____" thingme at the top & bottom of this page. Fill in the blank and. . . There's quite a bit repeated between the two, but they are a little bit different -- there's no better advice anywhere.   It's doubtful that the car was taken care of this way before you got it, but if you start now by replacing all the fluids and essentially zero-timing it, you should get a lot of excellent service from the car. Since BMW made themselves responsible for all service for the first few years, it's interesting how the maintenance schedules got "streamlined."   Good luck.

#4295 of 4446 Rear control arm class action suit by backy Jun 16, 2009 (2:59 pm)
I got a notice in the mail today re a class action suit re rear control arms, for the '99-'06 3 Series. It said owners may be eligible to either have the control arms replaced by a dealer, or be reimbursed if they have already done so. Something to look for in the mail if that applies to you.

Replying to: occir511 (Jun 15, 2009 10:11 pm) I also had problem with my 2001 330 ci and it turned out to be the wires were broken in the cable harness from the trunk. My trunk light was also out and my rear middle tail light was out due to faulty wires. It started with the trunk release not working.

Replying to: backy (Jun 16, 2009 2:59 pm) Any contact information so that I can look into this problem?
#4298 of 4446 Control arms? by kyfdx HOST Jun 21, 2009 (9:28 am)
The notice I got was about rear subframe failure... Shock mounts actually tearing away from the body of the car..   So far, it looks like the only payoff is reimbursement for any previous repair work, or inspection to see if you have the problem.   Neither of our two E46s had the problem, and we don't have either of them now, so I tossed the notices.

Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 21, 2009 9:28 am) I got the same notice... subframe. In addition to inspection, they will repair if damaged. I still have my '01 (155K and climbing!). I don't ~think~ I have the problem.. it seems like it would be noticable... but I will get mine inspected when/if the suit settles.

Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 21, 2009 9:28 am) Yes, subframe, thanks for the correction. I had control arms on the brain when I typed the post from a different car. I tossed my notice also since I don't have the E46 anymore. But as for contact info, I would think a search on google etc. would find that pretty quick--these attorneys want to be found.

Replying to: kominsky (Jun 22, 2009 10:28 am) Presumably the case has settled. That's why you got the notice. Replies to this message: venture (Jun 23, 2009 12:29 pm)

Replying to: ponytrekker (Jun 22, 2009 2:39 pm) The case is expected to settle around the first of September. You can opt out of the settlement with the notification. There is also a form to fill out and mail if you already had the repair made.   $1,100,500 attorney fees and $22,000 in expenses. Yikes!
