The car engine was caught on fire in the parking lot. After driving from my house (about 3 miles), the car was parked in the mall. I went in the shopping mall for 10 minutes, and I went outside. My car was on fire. Fire department came, and he broke the hood to put out the fire.

This car experiences multiple drivetrain malfunction codes, looses power at intervals when driving, leaks oil from seals which creates white smoke from both the exhaust pipes and from underneath the hood. It also has a rough idle and every so often, the check engine light comes on. BMW should be ashamed of themselves for having these ongoing problems with their cars in this day and age.

Drove car at approximately 8:30 P.M. car was left in the garage for the night. At 3:35 a.M. was awaken by my dog and smelled smoke, strongest in the area of the garage. Once extinguished by firefighters the car was pulled out. The left front number, headlight, and adjacent structures were melted. Extensive fire damage and smoke damage in the garage, and a lesser degree in the house. Cause of fire origin was not determined, but the car was not excluded. Concerned that this could be related to the auxiliary cooling pump issue noted in 2010 and 2011 models.
