My vehicle malfunctioned last week because of the fault harness. Vehicle had a slight fire and now is not drivable. BMW does not want to comply.

Loud rattle from rear suspension, sounded like loose shock tower. Took to dealer, both rear suspension springs were broken. I avoid all road hazards and do not 'beat' my cars. BMW service advisor had a broken spring on her desk to explain the issue. It happens that often. Repair cost me $987.38. I call manufacturer defect.
