One problem related to wiring has been reported for the 2008 BMW 135. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The plastic insulation on the headlight wiring has flaked off leaving the wires completely bare in some places. This has resulted in the loss of a drl, headlight ballast, and adaptive headlight motor. This is a well documented issue online, from BMW owners of multiple years/series. In fact, there is already an NHTSA complaint on the exact same year and model as I have. This issue is dangerous in multiple ways. The loss of lighting at night could result in an accident, harming both the occupants and people nearby. The highly charged bare wiring could short, spark, and cause a fire. The continued destruction of headlight bulbs, motors, etc is harmful to the consumers and economy as those parts can be very expensive.
