What owners wrote
Our parked BMW x3 was in our driveway turned off when it suddenly burst into flames and also caught our house on fire and our neighbors house. There is currently no recall on this year and model. No engine lights were on and we regularly service our car only with certified BMW mechanics. The car is completely burnt to the ground. After further research this is not the first time the x3 has caught on fire and burnt down someone's home and yet no recall and BMW has yet to take responsibility.
