Agreed from a customer's point of view. As for BMW, and assumed it's a bad batch of oil pumps (which we don't know yet), it's part of the QC/QA system to avoid things like this to happen. Without knowing the specifics of BMW's QC/QA system, it's often the the job of the supplier to check their products, take samples, etc. Somebody is in big trouble right now, that's for sure.


Best regards,
