NEAR MISS A COUPLE TIMES..........WHENEVER SITTING STILL FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THEN GO TO TAKE OFF THERE IS A BIG BLUISH GRAY SMOKE CLOUD. AT THE SAME TIME THE CAR WILL TAKE OFF THEN DO A JERKY STOP AND GO AGAIN. I'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED MANY OF TIMES. IF SITTING SOMEWHERE FOR LONGER THEN 2-3 MINUTES THE CAR IS SURROUNDED BY THIS SMOKE. ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH BMW. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ALONG WITH ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH ISSUE. *TR

AT HOME CRANKED CAR TO LEAVE AND AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT IS THE FRONT SEAT OCCUPANT PROTECTION MAT, BUT NO RECALL FOR THIS MODEL.

AIR BAG OCCUPANCY SENSOR MAT FAULT ILLUMINATED UPON INITIAL START OF THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY MAT. HOWEVER, THE CURRENT RECALL DOES NOT COVER IT EVEN THOUGH ITS A 2007 BECAUSE THE BUILD DATE WAS FEB 2007 AND THE RECALL COVERS BUILD DATES OF 2005 TO SEPT. 2006. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE SAME RECALL. *TR
