BMW suspension problems

Owners have filed 686 complaints with NHTSA about the suspension on BMW vehicles — 2% of everything reported about the brand, across 131 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the BMW X5, worst in 2001.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
