Within 15 min of arriving home in said vehicle, wife started car in driveway to go shopping. Immediately, dense black smoke began pouring from under the dash. She turned the car off, but left key fob in column. She summoned me from inside our house and when I arrived the smoke was still pouring out from under center to driver side of dash. I removed the key fob from column and approx. 1 to 2 min later the smoke stopped - was going to disconnect the battery, but smoke stopped before I was able to open garage and gather tools. No flames were ever seen and absolutely no smoke from under hood area - all inside car. Many warning lights are now illuminated - awd sys, dsc, abs, 4x4, lighting sys (check displays, turn signals, high beams, headlamp flasher and fog lamps). None of the exterior lights seem to function. This all occurred without warning and fortunately happened while stopped in the driveway. Checked recall log on NHTSA for VIN and found "0" recalls. The vehicle also includes "x-drive" (all wheel drive system).

Earlier this year, water was noticed in the front left headlight. Dealer notified me that a seal was broken and the unit needed to be replaced ($2500+). 2 weeks later, the front right headlight did the exact same thing. Vehicle is approx. 4. 5 years old with 55k miles. Shop foreman told me this particular model is known for this problem and BMW is aware as well. I know multiple people with this vehicle that have the same issue. The defective seal in the headlight units for this model present numerous safety concerns, the most serious of which is the inability to see the road due to the moisture buildup. Further, the moisture eventually causes the bulbs to go bad, particularly the turn signal bulb where the moisture first enters. Other vehicles cannot see that turn signal or headlight. A recall needs to be seriously considered to replace the defective seals on these headlights as they not only render the vehicle useless (unable to pass state inspections) but also presents serious safety concerns due to a lack of visibility, both to the driver and other drivers.
