I parked my vehicle in front of my house for the night after driving for only about 15-20 minutes. Maybe less. Roughly 3-4 hours later, I was alerted to my car being completely up in flames by the sounds of fire trucks / police sirens. Flames were 20-30 feet in the air coming from the engine compartment area. Fire department / police worked to extinguish the flames, but the vehicle is totally destroyed.

Tail light seems to constantly have problem. I have fixed it multiple times and after few days/weeks my neighbor complains and I have been flagged multiple times on road about running tail light not working. Issue seems to always be there even if I change the whole panel or the led panel. It is an led light that should never go out but it looks like my car behind me always see it as not working tail light.

This is related to a 2011 BMW X3. The sunroof just exploded out of no where. It was a nice sunny day and we were driving on the highway. We were driving at normal speed of approximately 60-65mph since we had 2 young children in the car, a 1 year old and a 3 year old. All of a sudden we heard a loud bang like a gunshot sound. We thought the tires blew out, so we pulled over. My husband stepped out of the car and looked at all the tires and they were fine and intact. My husband looked on top of the car and saw the sunroof was shattered. We were shocked. Good thing is that we didn't have the sunroof opened and the glass didn't fall inside the car. No one was hurt. We didn't see any debris of something hitting the roof. The sunroof just exploded.

Experienced drive train malfunction warning along with shaking and limp mode numerous times which resulted in 2 repairs last year in the thousands only to find out it was due to the cam shaft bolts recall at the root of the initial cause of the failures that resulted. BMW was hesitant to pay initially but my husband is a litigation attorney and once he got involved, they were quick in doing the right thing. I am currently having issues with the no warning light showing to warn me of a low coolant level. It was not until after smoke appeared from the engine area and a burning smell that the warning finally appeared. I immediately stopped and waited for it cool off & had coolant put in, warning light disappeared. Currently smelling a burning smell and hearing a squeaking noise so have a service scheduled tomorrow for the valve heater recall and hope BMW will address any issues stemming from that that may be causing other issues. Also to report, rarely ever use the glove box yet the corner of the glove box has come apart and will not reattach. I saw this has been an issue reported by many BMW X-3 owners and I will be expecting BMW to do the right thing and pay to fix this known defect.

Sua. I was in a frightening accident attempting to park my car on the rooftop of my 4 story office building. I pulled into a space on the edge of the lot and came to a complete stop. My foot was on the brake, I was about to put the car in park when the engine loudly and suddenly revved and the car surged forward up onto a concrete curb and rammed into a 4 ft high concrete retaining wall. The force of the impact tore the wall apart from the roof - my car was still accelerating, wheels spinning. The broke wall stopped by car from completely going over and I was able to turn the engine off and get out. There were witnesses who can verify that I was at a complete stop, brake lights on and it all happened in a few seconds. It was so shocking that I will never drive a BMW again.

As temperature gauge rises above first hash mark a warning comes on the screen car running hot drive slow and get serviced. Once temp reaches before the mid-point which is 250 so at about 230 to 240 degrees the car looses all power. Putting the pedal to the floor it down shifts engine races and car goes no where slows down to 10 mph this is really dangerous when there is nowhere to pull over in traffic. Car should not be programmed to cut power in this condition had my wife all freaked out.

Vehicles have been equipped with lower anchor bars for use in attaching child restraint systems which, if specifically used with european-isofix-type rigid-style connector child restraint systems, could become damaged during vehicle operation. If the lower anchor bar(s) become damaged during vehicle operation, this would increase the risk of injury to a child in a child restraint system attached to the lower anchor bars in a crash. A reinforcing bracket will be welded to the lower anchor bars and the vehicle body.
