BMW has announced it will recall about 350,000 luxury cars worldwide because of a problem with brakes.

The recall affects V8 and V12 engine cars in the BMW 5, 6 and 7 ranges, and Rolls-Royce - a BMW subsidiary - built between July 2001 and November 2009.
Let's hope the car in front isn't a Toyota!

Not surprisingly only 10,522 V8 or V12 BMW's were registered in the UK during that time.
Not really a HUGE surprise.
Almost a 10 to 1 ratio of Rolls Royce to big engined BMW's sold. 905 RR in eight years does make me wonder how they manage to make such a small number of cars so relatively cheap.

No recall for the non-working indicators then?

Lovely.
Just done 600kms in the X5 over the past few days. On some pretty hairy roads and tracks.

So it only stopped when the tank ran dry then?

Zero, the rate some of the lads were thrashing them, it wouldn't surprise me if they were running at 10 mpg...

Just figured out what the acronym BMW stands for.
Brakes Might Work.
