Did not realize a hood ornament could be so dangerous, I wonder how many Bentley owners plow their cars into pedestrians.

then again I could see someone who owns a Bentley being that arrogant and just running people over

cuz we don't have a retractable ornament?

recalling 800 200-500k cars is much easier than 10,000 30-50k cars... (underestimating amount of cars to recall..)

I see where the OP is coming from. Bentley is taking a proactive approach to a potential problem. Where as BMW knowingly has thousands of N54's out there waiting to go kaboom, sometimes 2 or 3 times.

My point is we have to fight with BMW to get them to do a real recall on real safety issue like your fuel pump failing.
