| 40000 mi | Recall for wiring in trunk per, Class action suit. The 5 series had a Class action suit recall on the E60 and 61 that were less than 10 years old and less than 100,000 miles to reposition wiring in the trunk that could be damaged by water from the sunroof drains filling the compartment. This was only settled last month, and they don't have the parts yet. |
| 43000 mi | This was to address a "recall", actually a class action suit repair. The wiring in the back (trunk) was susceptible to being flooded if the roof drains clogged. They did a sloppy job the first time I brought in it, I had to bring it back, and finally I secured the components myself. In addition they tore the inner fender insulation, altogether a BUTCHER JOB....BMW SHOULD BE ASHAMED. |
