Rear third brake light come loose, (I found all the nuts behind DE leather of the car)causing the light to fall off. Also making the roof leak, water drain to the under seat, and the battery compartment, running thru the seat belt. This cause mold in the carpet under the rear seat and also in the battery compartment is located the fuel pump module, and the parking brake module, and un hopefully the is no water drain on that compartment, so it fills up with water. Low pressure fuel pump stop working and the parking brake too.
Passenger side have no power and passenger restraint failed,.
The car caught on fire, starting in the roof. I suspect the cause was electrical. From the time smoke started coming from the headliner/windshield until it was fully engulfed was only about 5 minutes. My girlfriend and I were lucky to get out alive. We were at a traffic light, operating the vehicle at the time on city streets.
Purchased vehicle with clean carfax but within 1 week it was throwing codes of drivetrain malfunction took vehicle to dealer who refused to service providing intel that it underwent a 152 point inspection before sale took vehicle to BMW dealership service and after 2 1/2 months of keeping the car, bringing in top ranked BMW specific mechanics, and rebuilding the vehicle for over $18,000 that I was responsible to pay. . . . It now works properly the computer engine was faulty, the drivetrain faulty, the fuel injectors faulty, vehicle was unsafe to be driven when dealership sold it to me and BMW must have some idea of issues since they extended the m series manufacturers warranty to 10 years 120,000 miles on the engine/drivetrain but only specific parts not surrounding parts that must also be repaired in conjunction of warranty parts. . . The vehicle would display �drivetrain malfunction� go into limp mode and stall out at any given time. . . . This happened 4 times on the highway late at night to where I was stranded.
