BMW Korea and its official dealer Deutsche Motors are facing a lawsuit here in Korea
following a series of engine fires.
Choi Si-young has this report.
BMW Korea has recalled more than 100-thousand vehicles of 42 different models over a faulty
component prone to cause a fire.
A group of Korean consumers filed a complaint at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors'
Office against BMW Korea and its official dealership Deutsche Motors.
They said in a petition that the recall doesn't address the fire risk because
the carmaker promises to replace the faulty part only if they are found to be defective.
They also expressed worries over a potential delay in the process of recalling more than
100-thousand cars.
They are seeking around 45-hundred U.S. dollars each,... and could ask for more in damages
in the litigation process.
"Many people are asking me about the lawsuit.
I plan to continue filing a complaint week after week.
It is likely that a year will pass by until the first ruling comes out."
"Shortly after the complaint was filed against BMW, more than a thousand people joined an
online cafe to prepare for a lawsuit against the German carmaker, and that number is still
growing."
The fire-prone faulty component called 'Exhaust Gas Recirculation' is also equipped in vehicles
sold in other countries.
However, according to BMW Korea, Korea registered the highest number of faulty cars, probably
due to the abnormal weather conditions these days.
But experts differ.
"In automobile manufacturing, hardware like an EGR component goes with software that sends
commands.
This software is designed differently by region and country.
The software may be the error in this case."
When asked for comment on the expert's view, BMW Korea said the software is the same as
the European ones, and that there is no software malfunction.

BMW M4 GTS vs M5 E60 | Is It Worth $137,000? - Duration: 11:31.
Welcome back everyone mark with exotic car play place today we're going to talk
about the e60 m5 versus the m4 GTS which is that super rare ultra high
performance m4 that's dialed in for the track we're gonna talk about the
features specific compare one to the other now I've had the m5 here for quite
a while and I'm always looking for the next great thing and I would say the m4
GTS is the most hardcore BMW in the lineup today yeah there's the i8 that's
kind of a different animal but we'll talk about conventional sports cars by
BMW today we're gonna just preview some of the specs and some of the details but
before we get started don't forget to make sure you check out my merchandise
on the channel there's a hot link for that as well in the giveaway four
cameras no let's just do a quick look at the entire car and oh and we'll explain
it we'll make some comparisons now let's just start with the overall look of the
car the overall look on the e60 of course is the bengal era the bangl era
was crisp angle design where he created these sort of wraparound headlights the
taillights are unique and if you look at the spoiler on the m4 GTS it's very
aggressive then we come on over to the wheels
we have a standard 19-inch wheel on the m5 here and if you really look down
closely here you'll see we have steel brakes cross drilled ventilated disc
brakes on these cars not such as the case on the m4 on the m4
whose is carbon ceramic brakes then of course you have some of the telltale
symbols m5 you've got your traditional vent system here you've got the telltale
m5 and on the m4 you have its own style then we look at things like mirrors
definitely a simpler mirror setup here the m4 is a much nicer mirror it's more
than modern look now of course looking at the the entire rest of the bodywork
fairly traditional in this car but when you compare it to when we work our way
around to the back you'll notice the e60 here we have a little fin here
but that little Finn doesn't exist on the m4 GTS instead it has an oversized
carbon wing and then moving right along you'll notice as well on the e60 m5
we've got the quad exhaust tips here which you also have on the m4 GTS you
also have the quad exhaust tips there as well slightly different layout now
moving right along looking in the backseat of the e60 m5 now looking
through here of course this is an m5 they don't call it the ring taxi for
nothing the barn burner whatever you want to call it we have box seats here
not only do we have two seats we actually have three seeds if you look
here there's seating for three in the back as well as the two in the front
such is not the case in the m4 GTS where in that case the entire back area is
been stripped gutted and replaced with an aggressive racing roll cage and so
then we move more to the interior looking at the interior door panels for
example in this car typical for m5 and a lot of other BMWs of course you have a
well finished interior door panel very nice we've got leather touchier leather
in this case because I don't have the extended leather we only have the
plastic top finished off nicely with the brushed aluminum well when we look at
the m4 GTS it doesn't have any of that it actually has a single little door
pull and a slight little pad on the door which allows you a space to rest your
elbow not much more than that it's a very simple rig in the m4 GTS because
really the m4 GTS is about business racing business that's what that's about
ok so now we sit inside we look at the rest of the interior of
this car you'll notice in this car there's still a lot of plastic plastic
plastic plastic lots of plastic here this is not the extended leather as I
mentioned now in the m4 GTS they have actually a stepped-up level of trim on
the entire interior of the car as well you have a beautiful logo on the dash on
the m4 GTS that shows that that car means business and that is a special
engraved not faked well oh I know a BMW is traditionally known for stepping up
and badging non-m cars well that is a unique feature of the m4 GTS is they
have that nice little GTS logo on the dashboard here now let's go on the
inside here on the e60 m5 you actually have a very nice interior you have a
heads-up display here and you can tell the panel here this panel reflects the
heads-up display which gives you a lot of different features for sure
tachometer gives you your speed your rev count all that stuff it also sometimes
can give you some other details depending on how you configure it in
your I Drive system or M Drive but the m4 GTS also has the heads-up display as
well if you look at the overall interior here and the steering wheel this is
pretty traditional BMW product you have a leather steering wheel you've got the
paddle controls here but if you look at the m4 it has a much nicer Alcantara
steering wheel much fat are much more padded and and of course it has the dual
clutch transmission shift paddles which of course are vastly improved because a
dual clutch transmission is vastly better than the single automated manual
that you had in the e60 so there's some improvements there and that's more
justification for buying the m4 GTS now let's pop the hood let's look at where
the real magic happens
close the door here we're gonna check under the hood here pop it up now this
is the magic of the e60 m5 you have the infamous
s85 engine which essentially is the heart of this car this is the heart the
soul the f1 drivetrain in powering this car the m4 GTS on the other hand has a
much more aggressively tuned twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine that produces almost
500 horsepower way up from the standard 425 some odd horsepower that you find in
a standard m4 the m4 GTS has a lot more gem but not only that it has more torque
as well and it's just a finely tuned engine now some other things that you
want to take a look at here I'd like to make comparisons because the m4 GTS is a
very very cool car lots of trick features we have carbon fiber throughout
carbon fiber on the bottom carbon fiber on the wing carbon fiber parts on the
interior but it also has a carbon fiber hood now if you look up here you've got
your standard metal hood here pretty standard for most cars as well you've
got your heat shield and that's basically all metal pretty traditional
finishing well the m4 GTS has none of that the m4 actually has an entirely
complete carbon fiber hood that weighs almost nothing extremely light weight
then one more quick thing I want to show you on the exterior this car now we all
know that the m6 of this generation is 63 so the m6 had a carbon fiber roof
available as did some of the e90 and 92 BMWs had this available as carbon fiber
the m5 did not have that that was not available and so instead you have a
sunroof here and a standard metal roof where the m4 GTS has a wonderful
wonderful nicely finished high-gloss carbon-fiber roof on
there which thus results in a lower center of gravity reduced overall weight
and improved performance for the truck environment now to other trick things I
want to mention from the e60 and the m4 the one downside to the m4 is everybody
knows it is a track oriented car it's trying to compete with the likes of the
gt3 911 GTR Corvette with the modern dry sump systems it's trying to compete in
that marketplace unfortunately BMW looks like they have
elected to provide an integrated sump system so it's not a true dry sump that
you would find in like I said a gt3 for example that has a separate oil tank
that provides much better oiling under aggressive cornering situations the m4
does not have that they use some sort of baffling and whatnot but essentially
it's an integrated dry sump very much like what you would kind of find in the
SAT 5 engine in the e60 m5 so there's one other trick thing that the m4 GTS
has going for it is you don't have it in this car you don't have it in most cars
today because it's it's a bit more maintenance intensive if you will but
the m4 GTS has a little trick up its sleeve and its water injection because
of the high boost levels or the elevated heat that you find in the engine
compartment due to the intercooling the high turbo pressures the higher pressure
and overall higher performing levels of that engine produces a lot of heat up to
220 degrees in some parts of the intake manifold and such what it actually does
is it utilizes a water injection system that actually helps reduce detonation
and actually dramatically improve intake cooling if you were to actually improve
reliability for long hard driving for example in a track environment so that
is another trick you don't have that an e 60 here you don't have it in the F 90
or the F 10 you don't have it in any of the other m3 or m4 s you know what
is a specifically trick for that particular car the m4 GTS so guys
everybody I hope you enjoyed that really what I'm trying to get out here is I
love my car infinitely but I'm always looking at the
next great thing from BMW because I'm always possibly looking at my next toy
this could very well be the car it has so many great features to it it's just
you know it's certainly not a daily driver it is definitely a toy
and I'm looking at it because I like the extreme I like the cars that are dialed
in for the track do I always drive on the track oh no but I love that feel of
the car so everyone I hope you enjoyed the video you make sure you give the
video a like don't forget to comment and don't forget make sure you subscribe to

BMW Starter Replacement Kit - Really Quick Product Review - (E90, E60, E70, F10) - Duration: 1:53.
what's that old saying you don't start nothing won't be nothing actually just
kind of like a car if it doesn't start you're gonna be late to work so you
probably won't be nothing because you can get paid that week right hey you see
that would scare it here with FCP euro and we're gonna do a really quick
product review all right so we talking about our n 52 and 54 starter motor kit
this is actually pretty relevant on the N 52 and 54 engine up to three of 2011
this starter in particular really likes to start problems by not starting your
motor these things fail religiously the volume that move out of this warehouse
indicates how much of a problem is is on these engines and your primary reasons
for that is your starter motor bolts right so these are one-time use one of
the biggest problems that happens on these they are aluminum bolts torque
that you can't build up a little bit of corrosion which creates resistance and
being that these bolts act as the grounding point for the starter motor
resistance increasing in these bolts can actually cause the starter motor to burn
out so it's really critical that you replace these bolts with brand new ones
every single time and in particular one with your oay bolts they have some
aftermarket ones out there that are coated that will actually just prevent
your starter motor from being able to start or just burn the starter motor out
just like a corroded only bolt would do in this kit we also include a intake
manifold gasket set why are you asking unless you're mr. incredible from the
Fantastic Four there's absolutely no way that you're removing this starter motor
you'd have to be a contortionist to even get this out without removing the intake
manifold so we've gone ahead and included the intake manifold gasket set
so it comes with a brand new starter motor no cord charge they don't don't
worry about repackaging this to run it back to us comes everything you need to
do the starter motor on your n52 or m54 powered vehicle and this is just been
another really quick product review if you enjoyed what you see today go ahead
and hit that subscribe button also with the like button if you want to see more
like this definitely let us know and we'll see you the next one don't start
shit won't be shit
