The wiring going to the blower motor on my 2010 BMW 135I is melted. I could smell something burning and the blower motor started working intermittently. The vehicle was running in my driveway with the heat on at the time. The problem is the same as recall 17V-676 which covers the BMW 3 series from the same year but not the 1 series which uses the same parts.

Radio not always going on when turned on or turning off by itself or changing stations. Ongoing problem. Brought to dealer who had me wait for over 5 hrs. For the "controller" to be changed. Problem continued along with one occasion of loud buzzing coming from rear of vehicle. Brought to attention of dealer several times when in for servicing but was told there was no problem. Discovered only too late that I was beyond the time of filing a complaint under the lemon law. Brought vehicle it to dealer for appraisal and possible "buy back" but was offered only about half its value. Now I am encountering problem of "service engine soon" light going on and remaining on (over several thousand mi.), paid to have checked but received code only. Tired of going around in circles with this car and company so am now considering trading with another company.
