Problems with 2004 BMW X3 TIRES

I was driving the 405 fwy s close to lax when all of a sudden i heard like wind blowing inside my car then i heard a loud sound that something fell or thinking that my car must have stepped on something i looked at the windows at the back seat and both are closed then i saw the driver of another car that was driving behind me a sport convertible bmw tried to signal something to me when i looked at my right side view mirror while i was driving i saw a tire lying at the freeway,i knew at that time that it was my spare tire/compact wheel that is located under the cargo area on the floor of a vehicle. i tried to exit on the nearest gas station, safely parked as soon as i was walking towards the back of my car to check i immediately saw the compartment tire touching the ground and the tire is gone. the handle is supposed to be screwed and mounted apparently got loose..how it happened i don't know, the cable is cut. i strongly suggest bmw should have a recall on this because this is totally dangerous matter, good thing the driver behind me was alert and when she saw the tire falling from it's compact she immediately change lane and signaled me by pointing her finger at my car. *tr

I purchased a 'certified" bmw 330i in december of 2006 and have had the fuel pump replaced, instrument carrier replaced, both passenger window regulators replaced, sunroof repaired, headliner repaired (it just fell down one day). the car won't start right up, and when it does it runs real hard and the rpm goes up suddenly, the car takes a minute before it will even move & then it does so fast! i have had it in several times with this complaint and they can't diagnose what's wrong with it. i was told that the computer isn't showing anything, so it will have to get worse before they can diagnose it. wow! i've only had the car for 8 mos. and i've been to the dealership more times than i can remember. i'd like to know how they determine a car to be certified? it sure doesn't seem as though it was checked too thoroughly to me. and oh did i mention i had to take it to goodyear today for defective tires, that bmw wouldn't cover. thanks goodyear at least you stand behind your products! this is my 2nd bmw and my last! please feel free to share this to bmw of north america!!! *tr

Since buying my car, i had issues with the flat tire monitor indicator light coming on. i continually checked the pressure of all 4 tires and ventually, this past september, after only 1,845 miles, had to have a tire repaired (cost $15). the diagnosis was simply a leaking bead. at 2,651 miles, another tire suffered irreparable damage caused. also, from a leaking bead. a replacement tire will need to be ordered ($217+), and since there's no spare with my mini, i need to make other transportation arrangements. i am extremely disappointed that leaking beads, a very rare problem with any other car but this one, continue to be problematic with my mini being so young.*ak i have checked the mini owner's manual and the distance and speed driven with the run flat pirelli tires were well below both the speed and distance limits indicated. i feel strongly that both mini and pirelli are seriously deficient in this circumstance. the actual mounting of these tires was obviously not done very well, nor does the advertised capabilities of the run flat pirelli eufori tire seem to be reasonable.
