When seat heater switched on, a burning smell resulted. I switched it off immediately. Inspection of seat afterwards resulted in finding a spot where the leather was burned. Clearly this could result in a burn to the driver or a fire.

On saturday, june 4, my daughter was driving my 2000 bmw 740i. She had been driving for about 4 blocks and the passenger seat broke out in flames. It began when the car filled with smoke. She did not know what was going on so she pulled over and got out of the car and when she stepped back from the car, she saw flames coming from the seat of the car. The car has heated seats -- but the fire seemed to come from the panel of controls that is on the side of the seat. The fire department was called and they put out the fire in the seat of the car. The menlo park, ca fire department took a report. *tr

Tl* the contact has a 2000 bmw 740i. The contact stated that the vehicle's brake lights stay on all the time. This vehicle has a recall campaign number 00v048000. The recall states that if the switch does not have a white stripe on it then it needs to be replaced. The contact feels the vehicle needs the repair because the vehicle does not have the white stripe. The dealer states that since the vehicle was not manufactured between september 1, 1999 and october 28, 1999, that the vehicle will not be covered. The contact feels this is a safety issue. The failure mileage was 78000 and the current mileage was 78800.

I just received an email giving me an update on consumer complaints. I own a 2000 bmw 740i and the reverse also went out on the transmission and i had to have it rebuilt. I believe that being "a top of the line automobile" the reverse should not be failing. *tr

I purchased this car in may 2009 and shortly after in the summer, august early september, the reverse started to act up. Sometimes i had to wait a short period for the reverse to actually engage. It started to occur more frequently and i had it inspected. The result was that the transmission was the issue. I had the transmission rebuilt in december which cost just over $4000. It is now running fine but ii was super irritated since this automobile was supposed to be a luxury vehicle and not a lemon. Bmw should have to compensate customers for these types of issue as i believe a transmission should not fail in this type of car that is supposed to have such a great reputation. *tr

About november of 2007 i began to experience a delay in engaging reverse. I went to have the car serviced for this and the problem was diagnosed as a possible valve body issue with replacement of the transmission being the best solution because they were not sure and it was the only way to be safe. March of 2008 the reverse gear completely failed and from that point until present the car will not reverse. I took the car to a different repair shop for a second opinion and i was told the same thing, "replace the transmission" to be safe. I even contacted bmw of north america about this problem. *tr
