bmw regulators open BMW safety probe

regulators open BMW safety probe Federal safety regulators have opened an investigation into whether some BMW 7-series sedans are prone to rolling away once parked.

The probe of 120,000 BMWs from model years 2002 to 2008 came after a driver said the car rolled away after the consumer exited the vehicle.

BMW safety probe The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it is looking at BMW's "Comfort Access" electronic access and ignition system and an electronic transmission shifter with the gear selector mounted on the steering column. The shifter is designed to automatically shift the vehicle to the park position under a variety of conditions, including after the driver has pressed the ignition button to turn the engine off.

Data submitted to the agency by BMW include field reports describing additional roll-away incidents in vehicles equipped with the system. No injuries or crashes have been reported, and the agency said it doesn't know what is causing the roll-aways.

BMW continued dramatic growth for the month of July, just as the Bavarian motorcycle manufacturer had for the first half of 2011.
For July 2011, a total of 11,054 motorcycles were delivered to customers, which was up 10.3 percent over 2010 when 10,022 motorcycles were delivered. For the first seven months of 2011, BMW has sold 71,634 motorcycles, which is up 6.9 percent over the same period in 2010.
BMW Motorrad says the Boxer models continue to register the highest sales. Also, the company has observed higher-than-expected sales of the K 1600 GT & K1600GTL touring bikes. These innovative, de luxe touring motorcycles with six cylinder inline engines are the first of their kind in the history of BMW Motorrad.
At the start of the 2011 season, Bavarian motorcycle customers benefited from the revised flat-twin engine roadster BMW R 1200 R that for the first time will also be available as a classical variant. Moreover, the motorcycle manufacturer presented the new G 650 GS, yet another particularly appealing GS model with a single cylinder engine.
As for the BMW's subsidiary company, Husqvarna, 4,394 motorcycles were delivered year-to-day, which was down 21.4 percent over the same period in 2010. This number includes 864 motorcycles in July, compared to 931 (down 7.2 percent) in July 2010.
