BMW tire problems

Owners have filed 564 complaints with NHTSA about the tires on BMW vehicles — 1% of everything reported about the brand, across 115 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the BMW 5 Series, worst in 2011.

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.
