Parked BMWs bursting into flames leave owners with questions

Hi Everyone

Just saw a news report of BMWs' just catching fire while parked sometimes hours after being used. Anybody heard of this. It does not appear to be any one model.

A counterpoint to ABC's efforts at sensationalism.

It seems to me to be electrical over load. We already know these Bimmers are over checking themselves, and running battery down.

Maybe it's people trying to charge a modern phone which I'd do at home, but there's something to it.

We also understand Bimmers are like a high maintenance woman; Costly and fickle.

Lol. If your bimmer is like that, time to kick it to the curb. Costly maintenance is sort of expected but fickle/unreliable never is
