At approxamitately 1:20pm on july 13, after being parked for a little over an hour i was told that my car was burning. 911 was called immediately and the owner of the establishment went outside and called to the firemen at the station on the other side of the street. Their response was immediate. Response was so quick that damage was limited to the right rear. Which seems that the fire started in the area directly foreward and above the battery

Driving approximately 50 mph an accident occurred where there was oil in road. My car lost control and veered into a guard rail on the highway. My car was subsequently totaled and none of my air bags deployed in the crash.

Good evening all, since 2011 i have had issues with the i drive system. Just recently, the system stopped working. After attempting to resolve the issue with bmw of ontario, they declined to cover the vehicle's i drive computer module. Finally, the computer stopped working and i could not see my computer display or listen to music. I could not re-set the air pressure on the tires. I drove the vehicle that way for months. Finally, i went to the junk yard and found a vehicle similar to mine and replaced it. Even though i replaced the computer, i was not able to gain certain functions on my vehicle that came standard with that particular vehicle such as the satellite radio or speak to call function. I'm pretty sure many vehicle owners can relate to this issue and the difficulty it has created to try and mitigate with the dealer. Take care,

Good evening all, every time i fill up the gas in the vehicle, there is a strong smell inside the cab. This began occurring about 4 years ago but has continued thought my time with the vehicle. Currently, i cannot fill the tank at more than . If i do fill up the vehicle to more than i face having to smell the fumes of the fuel inside the cab of the vehicle. This is a safety issue and should be recalled. Many people have a similar complaint with these vehicles.

As i understand a vehicle for passenger side airbag in passenger side free stream has been dealt with already i just received this vehicle several months ago so it is new to me and i have the same errors as which a recall has been issued for my car 2005 545 i bmw. As i have read after x amount of years a recall is finalized i just received this vehicle several months ago so i feel i am still able to succeed from this safety recall from the manufacture

While driving to work during morning rush hour in a busy highway the car just stopped running. No odd sounds no shutting no clunking. It was like some just turned the key off. I made it to the side of the highway and had to wait two hours for a tow truck to show up. Most of the week previous to this my car would not start at random times even though my battery was good and i had gas. The problem was the dme had water ingress from a poor location where the dme and metronic computer and the intergraded power module are located and stored. They are in a sealed plastic box under the cabin fresh air inlets and cabin filters and the front hood cowl. I'm the box there is a fan at the bottom to expell moister. If the intergtated power module starts to go then the fan stops working or the fan it self goes bad. At that point there is almost always water ingress into the dme and or the metronic computer causing the car to not to run or even crank and with water corrosion on the the dme it causes phantom problems in other areas of the car. The dme is also not easily replaced. The car had to be taken to the dealership and they have to order a new dme and align it with the be cas module for the immobilizer to work correctly and for your car to start. This usally cost in excess of $2,000 just for the new dme. The worst part of this whole thing is i lost my job because i was 4 hours late to work after waiting for the tow and getting a ride to work
