Firstly sympathies for your BMW, have you contacted any 
magazines?  In the UK there is a programme called Watchdog 
that highlights cases like this and puts pressure 
(publicity) on the manufacturers, do you have a similar 
problem.

On to another little problem.

I have a 1987 325iSE convertible used during the summers, 
it has only done 17,000 miles.

Last summer as I was going down the fast lane of an 
expressway at about 70mph I lost all power, so with a quick 
hop across all the lanes I pulled off.  The car was put on 
a loader and taken to my local dealership.  They diagnosed 
low oil levels in the gearbox (despite a recent service).

Next week the same thing... result new gearbox! and they 
wouldn't contribute at all to the costs. This is not my 
main car, and by now you can guess that my main car is not 
going to be a BMW.

Good luck and keep publicising, every sale they lose is 
added incentive.
