Wtf

Got a new 2012 in may my car has 5500 miles and has already had 2 major, parts required break downs. One dealing with a melted connector for the adaptive steering system. Then a complete engine shutdown dealing with the double vanos system. Has anyone else been experiencing this. I have the 135i coupe m sport.

Well.. the forums are your best friend. The 135 has been a source of some issues that are well documented on this forum. It's unfortunate. But get it fixed.. you have 4 years to decide if the maintenance/reliability is something that you want to deal with...

Yeah. I've never heard of this either but it's happening to me, and I don't do anything rediculous either.

I know I've searched and nothing has come up for such a new car. So I thought I'd try word of mouth.
