What owners wrote
All four engine mounting bolts are sheared and completely broken. The vehicle was not in any kind of accident and no other issues I.e. Engine taken out and reusage of bolts, etc. The engine was sitting on the surrounding chassis. This caused the engine head to crack and oil leaking onto the exhaust
Driving with 85000 miles on it and it just jumps when you push the gas. Hops like a bunny. Then it takes off like a race car...which is dangerous if a car is in front of my and I slam into them. This problem has came and went over weeks now. Had codes checked. There are no vaccum leaks or anything. I am not the only one having issues with this. Its dangerous and unacceptable of BMW.
