With a post like that I question if you are even capable of reading, but thanks for the laughs "about 50 a day huh" seems like you paid $49.95 to rent? a book nobody has ever heard of. I wonder where you earned the money to do that anyway, but I'd rather not speculate on a public forum.
A 50 year old lady bought a brand new 330i zhp which she drives conservatively (very interestesting) and she apparently was driving down the road at a normal speed when all this happened? (before your eyes) Your recollection of detail, and implied claim of having witnessed this is remarkable and indicates the highly likely possibility that you just invented the aforementioned.

If the car were under warrantee the people with this recall/Service Bulletin (one of which myself and others on this board have not been able to locate) would not be paying anything. BMW will. It is not up the the individual to contact BMW about any Service Bulletins. It is the other way around. It is up the BMW to contact.
If an affected car does happen to fail from a known issue issued through a Recall/Service Bulletin then BMW is responsible for all damages occurred.....
P.S. Keep all personal attack off this board. You're point can be made in a civilized manner. Continuing to do so will result in a ban from this board. Consider this you’re warning.

Otay folks, here is what the NTHSB has to officially say about the subject, below is the information concerning a defect concerning the 2003 E46 330i. In the immortal words of Rodney King... " Can't we all just get along..." Check it out, I don't personally care I own a 2000 E46 with 178,000 miles and no recalls or regrets it's the best automobile I've ever owned and it's paid for, and to be honest I would drive it if I had to pay someone else... Peace Out...Report Date : November 2, 2005 at 06:53 PM

the book is for the class for the bmw S.T.E.P. program. It is class ST034 E46 complete vehicle. ST041 M3 complete vehicle. So you have never heard of these books right. How do you think the technicians at the "stealership" as you call it learn about the vehicles. You just think they release them and let us guess the systems that are new. Next time raise your *!%#@& hand before you talk to me. REMEMBER YOUR MY BITCH! Hopefully you people find out about that bulletin before it is too late. Thank this asshole for it.
ST042 E65 Complete vehicle.
ST036 X5 cmplete vehicle.
ST049 2004 System diagnosis
ST501 new engine technology
I can go on if you like. the only people that don;t know abou tthese books are the people that don't know shit about bmw's vehicles. I went to school for about a year to learn every vehicle that bmw has produced The E34
being the earliest.

The ignition coil recall is for real. I think I was one of the first person's to run into a problem, as I put 35,000 miles on the car in less than a year. All of a sudden, the car started running extremely rough and the "Service Engine Soon" light came on. I managed to drive it to the dealership as it was only about 5 miles away. After that, the car would not start anymore.
The problem was traced to the ignition coils, but apparently the new ones that they put in also had a problem. At about 70,000 miles, once again, my car did the exact same thing. This time I was at home and there is another dealer right near my apartment. I took the car there and they told me that the ignition coils are backordered and they wouldn't have any for weeks. I called my regular dealer (which is 57 miles from where I live) and they had some so had the car towed there.
So anyway, the dealer has assured me that the problem with the ignition coils has been corrected, and there is a mandatory recall now, but I was not provided with an explanation on why they had to be replaced a second time. I'm just hoping that after 105,000 miles, they don't have to be replaced again.

I don't think we're disputing the recall on the 2003 ignition coils, what everyone is disputing is the claim that ALL cars with the 2.5 and 3.0 engines are prone to blow up and BMW is replacing all of the coils yet mysteriously nobody has gotten a recall notice. Also the manner in which this guy presents himself doesn't help his case, you don't just come in and call everyone names and then expect 1000 thank you's for unsubstantiated information.
Maybe a clarification is in need here, sorry if this is stating the obvious:
There have been TSBs and Recalls on the coils - there is a difference!
TSB - Technical Service Bulletin = service information about a possible problem, but it does not MANDATE replacement, and it is not necessary to notify the owners
RECALL = A specific problem has been identified as potentially dangerous, and the government has MANDATED that the manufacturer notify all affected owners for repair or replacement.

So you learned about every BMW car in one year. You must be some type of genius. I would guess that you are a hater that has neither the means, nor the ambition to obtain a position in life that will allow you to buy the "greatest car on the planet". Yes I think BMW is wonderful. I have owned American, Asian, and now I will own European cars. I enjoy them and it is my money I spend, not yours. You did get soenthing right, EVERY car will need to be maintained throughout its life. You knowledge of the cars is over shadowed by your ignorant attitude.
