While driving a short distance at low speeds through a city, a yellow warning message came onto the screen, alerting me that the vehicle was overheating and to drive carefully. Only seconds later a second warning message came onto the screen, this time red, telling me that the engine has overheated and I need to stop driving immediately. As I slowed I could hear a loud fan noise and began to smell burning plastic. I immediately contacted a technician to schedule a repair. I was told it is a very common problem with the coolant pump, and upon further investigation, I discovered that it has led to very costly repairs on top of potentially dangerous situations. I even discovered that there may be a class action lawsuit for the faulty parts, and in some models have been recalled. I contacted BMW directly and they told me my vehicle was not eligible for any extended warranty or recall.

As my wife and I driving to her MD appointment on 11/26/12. I've noticed gas smell inside the car,and car suddenly losing power, when I've step on the gas pedal. It's like gaining power to go and suddenly loses power. I was kind of confused what happened . We were on the road right behind the intersection. We had to stop for the red light,when I've tried to go, the car was not moving like it should. We made it to the other side of the intersection, which there is denny's restaurant parking lot. By the time I've pulled over to see what is going on,we were still in the car. All of the sudden there was a loud sound, like explosion under the hood of the car and fire started. Thanks god, we got out of the car just in time. The fire was burning out of control. Couple of passerby had fire extinguishers in their cars,tried to put the fire out, while I was on the 911 call,but no luck. In just a less than a minute the whole car was engulfed in flames. It took fire dept like 20-30 minutes to put the fire out,and my car just melted front of my eyes.
