With all the talk of Mercedes' poor quality, I thought you would enjoy this.

In today's paper, there was a small announcement of "Engine Problems Behind BMW Recall."

"Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, the world's second-biggest maker of luxury cars, is recalling 4,000 cars worldwide that may have faulty V-8 or V-12 gasonline engines. The affected models are 5-, 6-, and 7-Series and X5 sport utility vehicles, the company said. The engines may shut down, causing failures of power steering and brake assistance. The recall applies to vehicles registered between May 13 and July 12, and affects about 1,000 cars in Germany and 2,000 in the United States, Munich based BMW said. It blamed "a temporary production fault of a supplier" for the defect. BMW asked the owners not to drive the cars until the problem can be fixed at a BMW dealer. There have been no injuries related to the defect."
