I TOOK MY 2009 BMW X6 TO THE BMW DEALER, UNION CITY GA FOR 3 PURPOSES: SUSPECTED LEAK OF COOLANT; CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON; AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE COMING FROM BOTH EXHAUST PIPES. SPOKE WITH/COMMUNICATED VIA EMAIL WITH BMW SVC REP, WENT OVER DOCUMENTED CONCERNS...TO INCLUDE SMOKE FROM BOTH EXHAUST PIPES; RECEIVED DOCUMENT FOR APPROVAL; WHICH I APPROVED. RECEIVED VEHICLE 3 DAYS LATER, RETURNING HOME WITH VEHICLE TO OBSERVE SMOKE 'EXCESSIVE' FROM BOTH EXHAUST PIPES. RETURNED VEHICLE, TO BE TOLD BY SVC MGR, "I'M SORRY, I CAN ONLY REPRIMAND SVC REP, AS THE WORK THAT WAS DONE WOULD NOT CORRECT SMOKE FROM EXHAUST." THEN, SVC MGR WENT ON TO SPEAK OF THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT THAT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE TIMEFRAME TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED (FOR FREE) HAD EXPIRED 'BY DATE"...AND THIS INFORMATION IS USUALLY SENT TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER. AS I EXPRESSED TO HIM, I AM THE 4TH OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND RECEIVED NO INFORMATION...HE OF COURSE WAS APOLOGETIC AND GAVE AN ESTIMATE OF $8K TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM (THAT I WAS "TOLD" AND PAID FOR WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM). I CALLED HQ BMW ONLY TO RECEIVE AN APOLOGY AND REFERRED TO BMW UNION CITY...TO RECEIVE A WRITTEN ESTIMATE FROM THE [SAME] SVC MANAGER. *SMOKE OBSERVED WIHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WITH ENGINE ON; AND IN MOTION IN BOTH CITY AND ON HIGHWAY.

ENGINE IS LEAKING OIL AND IT'S A FIRE HAZARD... GOOGLE SEARCH FOR EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE INDICATES THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON WITH BMW. CAR HAS 25K MILES AND OIL FILTER GASKET AND CYLINDER HEAD ARE LEAKING OIL INTO ENGINE, THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN ON A HARDLY DRIVEN CAR. SUSPECT BMW IS INTENTIONALLY USING DEFECTIVE PARTS TO CHARGE OUTRAGEOUS REPAIR FEES. OTHER MANUFACTURES RECALL THIS TYPE OF ISSUE, WHY IS BMW GETTING AWAY WITH THIS?

WAS GOING TO LUNCH APPROX. 3-4 MILES FROM MY HOME AS I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT, THE COMPUTER GAVE A PANIC WARNING TO IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF THE ENGINE AS IT WAS OVERHEATING AND CAN CAUSE DAMAGE. I TURNED OFF THE MOTOR AND WAS CONFUSED AS THAT WAS THE ONLY WARNING AND IT APPEARED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND OPENED THE HOOD. AS I WAS DOING SO THE EXPANSION TANK EXPLODED AND THE HOT WATER SHOT PAST ME AND JUST CAUGHT MY RIGHT SHOULDER. NEEDLESS TO SAY IF THIS CAUGHT ME DEAD ON I WOULD HAVE BEEN BURNED BADLY. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME TO CALL ANOTHER DEALER AS THEY MAY HAVE BETTER INFORMATION. I HAD THE EXPANSION TANK REPLACED AND THEY REPLACED THE COOLANT. THERE SEEMS TO BE A AIR POCKET IN THE ENGINE AND THE COOLANT NEEDS TO BE TOPPED OFF AFTER RUNNING THE ENGINE. IF NO RECALL, WHY NOT? *TR
