Owner report 11718066 · 2026-02-15 (February 15, 2026)

The vehicle sits at 101250 miles that’s driven less than 10k miles per year since it was produced and I was totally mislead , unfairly charged for something that was deemed to be great & life changing but it has been the total opposite! I truly want BMW of America to repair because this doesn’t happen if they did not design the vehicle to destroy itself in order to make monies ! Please …
