Wiring Problems of BMW 135

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.

The same blower motor wiring issue in the BMW 3 series thats causing them to catch on fire and burn to the ground. I have compared the problem with another 3 series with the same exact issue. Although the wiring part number is different, the plug and where the negative and pos terminals are placed is the same exact spot as the 3 series. The car will shut off from voltage spikes when driving and cause sparks and arching noises where there neg and pos wires meet causing both of the wiring housings to melt and potentially cause a fire. I have taken off the kick panel that covers the wires and noticed the kick panel itself was burnt and melted. I have talked to many other 1 series owners and they also have this issue but it's not on the recall list. I believe it should be because this is a very dangerous problem that can potentially injure or kill someone.

Blower mower wiring overheating and burning/corroding while fan was on low speed.

Sometimes the blower motor will not work at the speed selected. A few times have smelled a odd burnt plastic smell. BMW won't help this issue as there is no recall on this certain model. I have took the time to actually diagnose the issue. Wiring to blower motor resistor module affected. Cannot even unplug the connection. Has brown areas on the resister by ground wire of signs of extreme heat.

The wiring going to the blower motor on my 2010 BMW 135i is melted. I could smell something burning and the blower motor started working intermittently. The vehicle was running in my driveway with the heat on at the time. The problem is the same as recall 17v-676 which covers the BMW 3 series from the same year but not the 1 series which uses the same parts.

Wiring inside headlight assembly has insufficiently insulated wiring. The wire insulation is flaking off due to heat exposure from normal operating conditions. This is a safety problem. Fire potential. Lights could stop working while driving at night.
