Two incidents accured with 24hrs. My wife called me informing that the 2018 X5 was smoking from the front and making a weird noise, she stopped the vehicle and the vehicle started again. When she got home, I checked the under the hood, but could not see anything. But, can smell like burned wiring, but not visible. I connected ev wire to the vehicle and next morning disconnected the cable and when I started the vehicle, I saw smoke coming out of the inside bottom of the rear where the batteries are located. I opened the rear door and raised the cover to see smoke coming from melted wiring. I immediatelly disconnected one of the battery wires.
