Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Wheels

1 report
“Tire punctures from what appears to be a nail in the thread section of the tire. The vehicle comes with a seal kit designed to lock onto the wheel and pump sealer into the tire to allow you to travel to a repair shop. The car does not come with a spare wheel of any sort . BMW were contacted as the kit did not work . It cannot be released from the wheel leaving us stranded where no one could affect a repair as no technician could get the seal kit off the wheel to repair leaving us stranded . 3 calls to BMW for help were not returned . This is a major safety concern as were it to occur on an interstate we would likely be left stranded and held hostage to a device locked into the wheel preventing it from being removed . I have complained to BMW customer service and their representative could not advise me on that call how to get this device off my wheel . Not could she advise what I should do if I do manage to get the wheel off regarding re use of this device ( seal kit unit ). This is a dangerous luxury products on the market and owners should be warned accordingly as to the dangers and possibility of being stranded with this vehicle in any number of dangerous situations.”

Electrical system

1 report
“My BMW's Head-Up Display (HUD) and Speed Limit Information system displays incorrect speed limits that do not match posted roadway signs. The HUD frequently shows "LTM" or an incorrect speed such as "25 mph" instead of the actual posted speed limit. This is a serious safety concern. Drivers rely on HUD speed limit information while driving. Inaccurate readings can lead to unsafe driving decisions, unintentional speeding, traffic violations, and increased accident risk. The vehicle was taken to an authorized BMW dealership for repair and kept for approximately one week. I was informed on June 4, 2026, and again on June 8, 2026, that the issue had been resolved. After each attempt, the defect remained completely unchanged. The dealership repeatedly misrepresented the repair as complete when it was not. I previously owned a BMW X5 for three years with no HUD or speed limit display issues, confirming this is a defect and not normal system behavior. The vehicle was purchased new in November 2025 and remains under warranty. Despite multiple failed repair attempts, the defect persists and continues to compromise safe vehicle operation. I respectfully request NHTSA…”
