3 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 08/31/2017

Recently my girlfriend and I had purchased and financed a 2012 BMW 328i. The mileage when we bought the car was at 48,000. Withen the first 2 weeks of having the car I had to bring it back due to the parking lamp being out. I didn't get no warning from the car that the light was out either. I brought it in they corrected the problem for the time being and I went on my way. The same exact parking lamp went out another few weeks later. We have only had the car 3 months and it is having problems with the engine and saying that I have driven a lot more miles than I actually have. The odometer is now reading 60,000 miles. Basically saying I had driven over 13,000 miles in close to 3 months time. There is no way I could of driven 13,000 miles in that short of time when I only use the car to go to work which is 20 miles away. The car broke down on me and the odometer is definently faulty. I know electrical problems when I see them. The car is unsafe to drive prior to breaking down. Engine shaked violently and made hissing sounds after releasing the gas.
