BMW Sub-frame Defect Class Action Lawsuit
Proposed Class Settlement for Owners and Lessees of 1999-2006 BMW 3 Series Vehicles On October 24, 2006, Girard Gibbs filed a class action complaint against BMW of North America, alleging that 1999-2006 vehicles suffer from defective sub-frames. According to the complaint, the constant loading and unloading associated with normal driving can weaken the sub-frame to the point where it cracks and separates from the chassis, resulting in thousands of dollars of damage to the vehicle. The complaint alleges that BMW was aware of the alleged sub-frame defect, but failed to notify consumers or pay for sub-frame repairs under warranty. On March 3, 2009, Hon. Judge Dean D. Pregerson granted preliminary approval of a proposed class settlement, under which BMW will reimburse E46 owners or lessees in full for their sub-frame repair expenses. As part of the settlement, BMW has also agreed to implement a National Sub-Frame Inspection and Repair Program. All current owners and lessees of a 1999-2006 BMW 3 series vehicle will be notified of the sub-frame problem and will have one year to present their vehicle for a free inspection and repair (if needed). The Court is scheduled to decide whether to finally approve the proposed settlement on August 3, 2009.

I find it strange that BMW NA launch a free national inspection and repair programm where they actually notify BMW owners of the issue and request they come in for a check up. BMW UK actually go as far as denying there is an issue(!)....
