I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AT BOUT 1AM ON A CLEAR 45 DEGREE MORNING. I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 54 MPH ON A FREEWAY. I HEARD A NOISE COME FROM MY ENGINE, IT SOUND LIKE METAL BEING GRIND. MY VEHICLE THEN SHUT OFF I LOST POWER STEERING CAUSING ME TO RUN INTO A DITCH. WHEN I FINALLY CAME TO A STOP I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RE START. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK. WHEN THE TRUCK MOVED MY CAR I NOTICED A LOT OF ENGINE OIL UNDER THE CAR. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A BMW MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME " ONE OF YOUR ROD BEARINGS BROKE SENDING A ROD THROUGH YOUR OIL PAN". AND I HAVE TINY PIECES OF METAL ALL INSIDE OF MY ENGINE. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT I WILL NEED A NEW ENGINE.

THROTTLE ACTUATOR PROBLEM: IS CAUSED BY AN ENGINEERING DEFECT IN THE ACTUATOR GEARS WHICH DETERIORATE UNDER 60,000 MILES AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO GO TO "LIMP" MODE. ONCE IN LIMP MODE THE ENGINE MAY STALL AND WON'T ACCELERATE AS NORMAL; WHICH WAS MY CASE WHEN IT OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A GREAT DANGER TO MYSELF AND SOCIETY.
