My dsc (stability control) warning light came on and driving became erratic. After BMW of the hudson valley failed to diagnose the problem I took it to a local mechanic who found that a sensor in the axle had corroded and failed. This necessitated replacing two rear axles at a cost of $1700. The mechanic said bwm wanted the axles back so that they could refurbish them. Obviously this means that BMW has having this problem on a regular basis and has not issued a recall. My car only had 47,000 miles on it.

I was driving about 10 mph in traffic on Friday, Oct. 31, 2008, at 5 P.M., in houston, when my 2006 BMW 325I began smoking in the passenger compartment and burst into flames by the time I got it parked. I first noticed the air conditioner was not functioning properly and then smoke immediately began filling the car. The car was totaled by the time the hfd arrived. The car was in good condition and had no recent service or problems. It had no previous electrical problems. The ac just began blowing warm air, and smoke started pouring into the compartment from above and below the dashboard - not from the ac. The car was running fine until it burst into flames. It had to be a mechanical defect or an electrical short of some kind.
