BMW is a German maker with its main base in Munich, Germany. Additional automobiles that belong to BMW encompass Mini and Rolls-Royce. Last year, the Germany-based company successfully marketed 2.5 million vehicles worldwide. While this “top-tier automobile” provides distinctive skills and form, their vehicles are not devoid of imperfections. If you possess a faulty BMW car, our BMW Legal expert at Lemon Law Duo will represent you based on the outcome of the case, without any upfront expenses. If you took your BMW to an approved repair shop for problems or flaws while it was still covered by the warranty, you might be entitled to certain privileges according to California’s lemon law.

Although BMW provides numerous characteristics, there are also certain issues that are frequently associated with this brand. Frequent problems and faults with BMW cars consist of the subsequent:
OIL LEAKS
Oil leaks from the engine area of BMW vehicles are a frequent issue observed by our team of BMW lemon law lawyers at Lemon Law Duo. If the BMW engine loses all its oil, there can be significant harm to it, and it might even require a replacement engine. One frequent reason behind oil leaks in BMW vehicles are the gaskets found on the valve cover. In numerous cases, issues with the oil pan can lead to a leakage of oil in a BMW car and will necessitate the removal of the front suspension to be substituted.
Excessive Oil Consumption
Many car manufacturers believe that it is okay to add oil between maintenance appointments, and it is a normal part of using a car. Our lawyers specializing in BMW lemons will argue and demonstrate otherwise. We know that no customer should have to transport an additional quart of oil in their car’s trunk. To put it simply, vehicles that are still covered by warranty should not consume oil. Sometimes, if a customer complains, a manufacturer might need to fix problems by repairing, reconstructing, or exchanging the engine for free. Nevertheless, many manufacturers justify the oil consumption by stating that it meets the car’s technical standards, or they point fingers at the car’s owner for their driving behavior. Our lawyers who specialize in BMW lemon law have conducted research and fought against car makers like BMW, to show that the amount of oil a consumer’s car uses is not a normal part of its functioning.
Electrical Issues/Failures
Problems with BMW electrical parts breaking down are a frequent occurrence. Our lawyers who specialize in cases involving BMW lemon law have been approached regarding problems with the Bluetooth function, the screen on the dashboard or control panel, inconsistent lights, and a non-functioning headlight. These types of issues are typically sporadic and hard to identify. Similar to numerous European vehicles, BMW provides advanced technology which regrettably occasionally experiences software and wiring problems that emerge. Typical problems consist of:
- Defective backup camera
- Defective parking sensors
- Defective lane assist
- Defective screen/head unit
- Defective key fob
- Battery issues
- Defective iDrive
- Defective Apple play
- Defective Bluetooth
Engine Issues
One of the most common problems BMW owners experience is the check engine light and engine overheating message. Our BMW lemon law attorneys are familiar with the different trouble codes present in BMW vehicles and fully understand the intricacies of engines/turbos. Our BMW Lemon Law attorneys have found that these issues can arise from oil leaks, faulty sensors, evap systems, ignition modules, injectors, fuel pumps, and engine misfires.
Steering Wheel Vibration
The steering wheel in many BMWs exhibits a rough and dangerous vibration when braking. If you observe this with your car, your rotors, alignment, or brakes may be defective.
Air Conditioning Issues
A common cause is the malfunctioning of the ambient temperature sensor.
Coolant Leaks
Coolant leaks present themselves in the form of an error message or may present themselves as white smoke coming from the exhaust or visible coolant leaks outside the vehicle.
Power Steering Leaks
This often presents itself as a screeching noise while steering.
