BMW 335xi fire burned car total loss after driving 1/4 mile. Vehicle was at BMW days earlier with a complaint of rough idle/reduced power. Told engine faults would be handled by software update. Fire burned two cars with a small explosion and 15 foot flames.
BMW 335xi vehicle fire total loss. Vehicle was driven short distance then parked. Approximately 10 minutes after parking the vehicle was discovered on fire. Vehicle was in the BMW dealer with engine code light on. Was told to drive until software updates were available.
2007 BMW 335xi floor mats are not anchored or attached to floor in any way. Floor mats constantly slide back and forth, as they are smooth on the bottoms. The drivers side mat will often cause clutch pedal not to release when shifting, as the mat obstructs the pedal from releasing. This issue was reported to local dealerships and I was told there was nothing that would be done.
My vehicle has multiple codes for faulty fuel injectors. A recall campaign was initiated I n 2010 to repair these injectors. I believe the recall campaign was titled 10e-a02: replace fuel injectors. The eligiblity was listed as vehicles with production dates from 4/01/2007 to 11/30/2008. Vehicles included were BMW e90 models. I have a 2007 e90 model with a production date of 3/2007. It is peculiar that the production date did not include all vehicles in that model year.
