Vehicle engine could have caught fire during driving. Due to amount of oil was leaking spiting on wires around the hot engine. I found as just parked on my drive way smoke was coming from the hood. We opened the hood huge smoke came from the engine. I called dealership recommended me not to drive the vehicle. I had to tow the veh. To the dealership. Dealership said, it happened due to the vacuum pump issue. Checked with BMW usa said no such re-call.. but for me 5-6 yrs old vehicle specially BMW could have put family in danger. Enclosed picture showing broken /tube pipe. Most important thing is that oil change and other job was performed just couple of week ago leak wasn't caught by the service man.

Was driving my BMW X1 for approximately 5 1/2 hrs when all the sudden the sunroof exploded into tiny pieces of glass with a loud explosion noise and glass rained in on top of us. We were on a highway going straight, not under an overpass and no car in front, behind or to our side

Wrote last year to explain that due to fog/film gathering on the interior windshield, visibility was reduced. Since that time, visibility has beecome severely limited and, because this fog/film could not be removed, we had the substance tested. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (dehp) was found. This test was done in February 2015 and confined to the dried on substance. The fog/film continues to leak into the cabin and further testing will be done to determine if there are additional substances detected.
