The battery appears not to hold a charge. The car was driven at highway speeds for an hour, the 'charge battery' warning still came on. The engine does not automatically turn off at stops. The warning has turned off, but the engine does not turn off at stops. There is a message that displays the auto-turn off symbol with a line through it. We were told by the service people, at temps below 10F, the battery needs a trickle charger to hold a charge. We bought one. We charged the battery on a weekend night, overnight, once a week. The problem went away. Personally I think this is bad design on BMW's part - too much draw on the battery.

Continuation of same problem described previously -- many CDs do not play on CD player. Dealer consulted with manufacturer for several days. Not resolved. Supposedly awaiting BMW engineer further input. Dealer tells me a BMW engineer has now told them my CD player, unlike any vehicle CD player I have ever used, cannot play standard recorded book CDs for some format incompatibility reason. Why don't they advise of this limitation before sale

Fuel cut-off was triggering when attempting to re-fuel the vehicle about 9 times out of 10 gas station visits. Generally it would shut-off the pump at about 1/4 tank, and do so repeatedly until the tank was about 1/2 full. Multiple visits to service always resulted in "cannot fix because we cannot replicate the issue" scenarios, until we got fed up just before the warranty ended. Dealer finally replaced the entire tank and the problem has not recurred.

Noticed a thunking noise when turning hard. Diagnosis was that the tire shop had placed the front tires on the rear wheels (staggered setup) and placed them up front.
