EXTERIOR LIGHTING

unsafe equipment: driver's side parking/running light stopped working. there were no indications on the dash regarding it's failure. this vehicle indicator light is integrated into the tail light lens assembly. therefore making repair impossible for the owner of the vehicle. the bmw repair/service facility did not carry this in stock and as a result the vehicle was unable to be driven for 4 1/2 business days. luckily i was provided a loaner vehicle since i was under warranty. bmw is aware of a defect in the tail light assemblies (sib 63 03 10) due to a rubber seal causing a chemical corrosion/leaking issue with the embedded led lights. i feel they should be replacing all bmw 1 series taillights that were exposed to the risk as a matter of safety and not differ the costs/risks to driver safety.

WHEELS

while driving at freeway speed i passed over the transitioned between a milled road surface to existing pavement. on day one i notice a small piece of rubber hanging from the drivers side (left) rim but the tire was holding air. on day two the passenger side, right front tire spontaneously blew. the driving surface appeared normal. damage was not visible to the right tire however passport bmw told me that the tire had a rip around the rim. the tires are bridgestone run flat model 215/40r18 85y. the tires had approximately 85 % of it's tread and the car only has 15,000 mile =/-. i do not think this should have happened while driving in what i would consider standard / normal road conditions.
