What owners wrote
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.
Rough idle,stalls at stops, shaking. Every time vehicle is taken into BMW of ontario for one problem it comes back with a different issue, I believe BMW of ontario is purposely damaging items on my vehicle that isn't covered under warranty so I'll pay them out of pocket.
