Where did you download the BAM exporter?

This is not a very common exporter, especially since it does not support animation. Try this one - https://github.com/09th/YABEE.

If you need to get a BAM file. You can do this with this tutorial - https://www.panda3d.org/manual/index.php/Converting_Egg_to_Bam. You are guaranteed to get the desired file.

I can’t seem to click your link to access the file. Adding it as an attachment would be better.

The .bam exporter supports textures just fine, so there should be no issue with using it. You could also consider filing a bug report on the Bam exporter GitHub issue tracker instead, though.

  1. Shader textures need to bake.
  2. UV Mapping is required for panda3D.

Try exporting this file:

That BMW scene should really be treated more as an exporter stress test than a basic demo. It is a very complicated file and is bound to find all sorts of corner cases in an exporter. For example, my guess is the wheel issue has something to do with dupli-groups, which an exporter may not even support.

I suppose you should understand that for the game engine 3D models should be optimized. You can not just take and export to the engine. I suggest to read the discussion: https://www.gamedev.net/forums/topic/682329-correct-modeling-for-game-developement-poly-count/

On the issue of wheels, note that they are actually on a different layer.
