Want to know about TSBs, Complaints and Investigations?
This site, http://www.mycarstats.com/, allows you to set up a list of cars to keep tabs on. When new information is recieved, it sends you an e-mail. It's pretty cool, and free. You don't get full TSBs without paying, but you do get summaries (of at least what is sent into the NHTSA).

Cool info 
Thing is, I thought BMW and some others have recently been able to withhold the release of any TSBs under the assertion that they are "trade secrets"?
Perhaps they are able to get the title if not the full text

They HAVE to let the NHTSA have copies...
and for a couple bucks a page, the NHTSA will make copies and send them too you. FWIW, there was one Mini TSB they didn't have, and they were surprised when I brought that up to them. I don't know if the sleeping giant ever woke enough to ask Mini what's up.
