                      That sucks! I would definitely check out the lemon laws in your state or contact an attorney Good luck

                              An 03' is probably still on it's original battery. If it is,that should be changed. I've been driving BMW's for years and have never had a problem.

                                  By the way, we had a similar problem with a used Mercedes we bought. A few weeks after buying it, it wouldn't start. It had an electrical problem that was draining the battery... ugh. Never again.

                                      If it has more than 100k, that's when the computers start fucking up on Bimmers no matter what shape it's in otherwise. Sadly, it's more common that you would think.

                                          i wouldn't buy a bmw from a used car place. sometimes private deals can be ok but well, i wouldn't buy any cars from a used car dealer unless they were backed by a major car manufactor like chevys optimum used cars. too many times pieces of shit are fixed up or cars that have gotten into big accidents, etc. good luck with it.
                                          you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                                              hmm..you think that could be the cause of the engine light and the stability sensor?

                                                          If anything needs to be fixed you should take it to a BMW dealership to make sure it's done right and give the bill to the used car lot. What kind of warranty did they give you?

                                                                                                      Oldest trick in the business. Put the battery on the charger before giving the car over. Sometimes they hold, sometimes they don't.

All I see is that fucking gay ass music video from "Rick Roll". Anyone else have a different link to the news clip?

                                                                                                                                          He had one person complain that their car was fucked and that sometimes the oil pressure would drop and the transmission would lock up.

                                                                                                                                          Turns out she wasn't turning the key all the way forward when she started it so the engine wasn't even running, but the radio and fans would turn on so she couldn't hear that the engine wasn't on.

                                                                                                                                          Everyone is always quick to jump down their throats for what usually amounts to an unforseeable circumstance or simple maintenance item.

Never again will we tolerate a car we just purchased go in for mechanical repairs days after we bring it home. We bought a lemon and got taken advantage of really bad. There are laws that protect consumers from this happening. We were just too laid back and allowed it to take place the way it did and settled for a loaner car for nearly 6 weeks.

                                                                                                                                                                      If you buy used from a dealer, you should only buy certifed. The warranty on those are sometimes even better than a standard one.

                                                                                                                                                                      I just got a low miles deville from a dealer here. Came with a 5 year, 100,000 mile full bumper to bumper warranty. Gotta love not having to pay for anything that breaks for 5 years.

There's no law that protects you. Canada could be different.
