Can you break my record??

Well, all I can say is my 2007 e90 335i has been a thorn in my side recently. Over the last thirty days it has been in the shop 23 of them with four trips to the stealership. It all started with a broken alternator belt and turned into a nightmare. Anyone else had to have thier sub frame replaced? I did and trust me it led to my car not driving the same. So mad at BMW. Well thanks for listening to me vent.

why did they have to replace your subframe?

Sounds like a buyback waiting to happen.

BTW. . . in case you're still making payments on this. . .
I believe you can have BMWNA pay 1 months payment for every 30 days in the shop .. .. ..
So 7 more days in the shop and you shouldn't have to make your months payment

+100. I know the E46 had subframe problems, but this is the first time ever hearing any e9x have subframe problems.

It started with my power steering going out. They said it was a belt issue and replaced the belt. Then the power steering went out again and they had the car forever and told me they had to replace the front axle support, engine supporting bracket, pully, and ribbed v-belt. They said the pully for the alternator belt was hitting or contacting the axle carrier. That is straight off my service report. Its all german to me LOL.
