My head lights with adaptive drive caught on fire and burned the wires.

- Dover, PA, USA

The vehicles ftm (footwell module) isn't working. During a drive my turning signals didn't want to work. My headlights won't turn off. Windows stay put. Doors don't lock. Vehicle is stationary but can still be operated. Shops around the area notified me that they had a few vehicles have the same problem this year. There was a recall for the same probably the dates for the recalls didn't include my cars manufacturered state

The wiring harness for the headlights tends to rot overtime in these cars which then leads to bare copper wires making contact with each other and ends up causing a short and blowing the bulb. This is a safety hazard, not only for visibility but for fire prevention as well. This is a common issue in a lot of BMW's and it should be addressed. This isn't something that should have to be replaced and it is very challenging to do so. I took a look at this as my headlight bulb blew last week while on the road. Like I had mentioned earlier, this is pretty common and is even occurring in their newer models. The insulation over the wiring just flakes off and the dealerships show no care when the issue is brought up.

Passenger side rear turn signal ceased to function....updated 03/31/15 the consumer discovered there was nothing wrong with the tail light. It was just a loose connection.

- Lafayette, LA, USA

Noticed the passenger side blinker started to blink quickly. The brakes and tail lights use a bulb while the blinker has approximately 15 leds. Therefore the entire light assembly has to be replaced. Several of the leds do not light up and the ones that do are dim. Two weeks later the driver side blinker did the same thing. This concerns me as another driver may not be aware that I am turning until it is to late.

While driving on a city street we smelled burning plastic and pulled over to investigate. Upon pulling over we found a small fire was burning in the head/fog light area of the vehicle. Both the head and fog lights were illuminated at the time of the incident. The fire quickly spread to the entire front of the vehicle and the vehicle was declared a total loss by state farm. Neither state farm nor bmwna were able to determine the source of the fire; however, an internet investigation highlighted two other instances of a very similar situation with 3-series sedans from the same generation as this one. See the following url: www.topix.com/forum/autos/BMW/T5mq2ae26sc44clo0 of note to anyone who may have encountered a similar situation.. bmwna was totally uncooperative informing me that "fire is not covered by warranty" forcing me to claim this total loss under my insurance policy for a two year old car that caught fire while still under warranty. I did not purchase another BMW.
