Body problem #2

I was driving on I-91 at normal highway speed and the car suddenly started decelerating on its own with no warning lights or other indication of a problem. I pulled over immediately and shut the engine off and got out to investigate and saw smoke under the hood. I called 911 and the car was visibly on fire by the time they arrived.

Body problem #3

Rear spoiler malfunction appeared on my screen while I was driving roughly 30 miles per hour, then the rear spoiler began to smoke within 60 seconds. I pulled the car over to park it, and after another 100 seconds, the spoiler caught fire and within 180 more seconds the whole rear of the car was on fire. By this time the fire department showed up and extinguished the flames.

Body problem #4

Sun roof glass shattered while driving on smooth highway at about 65mph. No evidence of impact (per BMW dealer) and no impact by object detected by driver. No over passes or road signs were near the car at the time. Outside temperature in mid 80s and sunny. Air conditioning on in car. Large hole in middle of sunroof and most of the glass ended up on the highway behind the vehicle. Some glass was in the sunshade and came through the ventilation slots.
