general problems of the 2000 BMW 323

The contact owns a 2000 BMW 323i. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked when he noticed that a fire had erupted from the passenger's side of the vehicle. The contact called the fire department to extinguish the fire. The fire department could not identify what caused the fire. There were no injuries. The vehicle was not destroyed. The contact did not call the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 270,000.

Was trying to reverse n it wouldn't it periodically won't reverse until car warms up. Window won't go up without manually pulling it up.

Bought my 2000 BMW 323i brand new, I'm the first and only owner. I have had it only dealer serviced with all records kept. At 67k miles the reverse went out. Dealer told me it was the transmission. Being that it would be in the thousands to fix I continued driving it with no reverse. Meaning I push it. I contacted BMW on several occasions and I was told it was regular wear and tear on the car that caused it. Yet there are thousands of people out there who have reported the same problem on online forums. Shame on BMW for not taking responsibility for this problem.

While driving the vehicle and applied the brakes the engine will suffer a suddenly acceleration. Dealer has inspected the vehicle and could not duplicate or correct the problem. Please provide further information. Ts.
