BMW refuses to accomplish brake recall 10V446000. Stated campaign accomplished previously (Several years ago) with another owner but very intermittent brake fail issue still remains, extreme hazard.
NHTSA ODI report, 2016-06-03
As I was arriving to park my BMW I applied the brakes to put it into park but the brakes failed, in result the car drove threw the building. When the rear wheels reached the curbside/sidewalk, it stopped the car, causing the building to get damage.
NHTSA ODI report, 2015-04-25
I purchased my 2007 750I BMW in 11/2013. Shortly after I purchased it, I started having brake booster issues. The brake pad becomes hard to press and I have actually rolled in the middle of intersections because the car would not stop.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 BMW 750I. While driving at 25 MPH, the vehicle suddenly shut off with no prior warning. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where a part was repaired on one of the doors.
NHTSA ODI report, 2010-05-13
Hid headlights and the amount of glare produced needs to be regulated by the government. I drive a lot of narrow county 2 lane raads where there are no right side white lines.
