Web China: Luxury foreign cars running over Chinese trust (2)

The country witnessed a latest spat between a customer and foreign auto maker after a driver surnamed Zhang drove his two-year-old BMW 7-Li, which suffered engine failure on an expressway. He managed to steer away from a near fatal incident.

Zhang told Securities Daily that the car that cost him nearly 2 million yuan (317,965 U.S. dollars) had a string of problems, including abnormal oil consumption, before it finally put him in the near fatal situation.

Zhang, who believed the problem was rooted in the faulty engine, asked the Munich-based German auto company to refund his money.

"The BMW personnel all wore friendly smiles, but they showed little sincerity to solve my problem," Zhang said.
