bmw on fire

bsm.e92 · 02-04-2015, 07:38 PM

Hey guys,

So I was just surfing the web then came across this site:
https://bmwproblems.wordpress.com/bmwownersbeware/

Seems like A LOT of bmws' have been catching fire for no reason (some in 2015 already!)
This includes all models, obviously our e90s as well

After reading so many stories, I suddenly have a fear of driving my 335 since this car is infamous for it's heat

What do you guys think?

Holy crap that's alot of people with the same issue! Didn't realize it was a trend. Makes me think twice about keeping mine in the garage lol

I think there are a greater number of cars NOT catching fire. Blogs/comments from random Internet people aren't stats.

If this was really an issue I think we would have heard about from credible news/media and it wouldn't be a surprise.

Besides BMW has been recognized here in the US as the fastest manufacturer to respond to safety recalls. I wouldn't lose any sleep over this.

Vin328IX · 02-04-2015, 08:58 PM

That's a lot of people....at least from what I read they were all okay no one got hurt.

///Mposter · 02-04-2015, 10:42 PM

I don't think there are a lot but here is what I found. The new ones are like year model 2013 or 2014.

This. More cars of every other make and model outnumber these 'statistics' by the thousands.

i think this blog is somewhat fake. too many responses are like "oh my bmw just caught fire the other day". i doubt that many people in that blog even own a bmw.

Dozhdbog · 02-05-2015, 12:41 AM

I dunno guys. Looks to me like the majority of BMWs just catch fire. I read it on the internet so it must be true.

Woah! That's serious!

No wait.. Toyotas catching fire too? http://www.csmonitor.com/Business/La...n-Camrys-RAV4s

And VW's? http://www.ocregister.com/articles/b...-vehicles.html

Wait - is it all cars? http://www.scribd.com/doc/98983637/C...ormally#scribd

Well, what else can one conclude? Cars catch on fire.
