Very dangerous and strong smell a burning smell I am finally after getting the trunk open come to find out that my battery was more than just -€œsmoldering-€ and the positive terminal was melted all the way to the point where we panic and I had to disconnect it because it was red hot actually the bolts are melted together im sure and probably won-€™t be coming apart. I had to leave my key in the ignition and I left the car there after speaking to the apartment complex managers asking them not to do it. I-€™ve been trying to contact the BMW dealer and ask them what my next step is and getting it fixed as there is an active Recall on it because of the PCV valve not being up to specifications and could cause a short and -€œan extremely rare cases can you catch fire. Which unfortunately happen to be my luck. The car is still in Lacey Washington and I don-€™t know whether to get it towed to the dealer in Tacoma Washington being that the guy on the phone was a complete a******* and told me to not get it towed there that they-€™re just going to get it towed out of there. At this point I do not know what to do but I need help in expressing the amount of Beyond safe and liability on this recall through BMW

The car is experiencing rough idles and an imbalance in the overall performance. The PCV valve is not allowing enough air to return to the combustion chamber, creating a rough idle as the levels are imbalanced. It-€™s also causing a lean air to fuel mixture, oil leaks and increased fuel consumption. The PCV valve hoses became blocked by built-up moisture causing high pressure to be built up in the engine crankcase. The only way for this high pressure to escape is up through the cylinders and out of the gaskets, thus causing the gaskets to lose their seals. Oil is now able to leak out of the gaskets because the seal has been ruptured. I-€™ve already spent thousands of dollars on services including gasket changes.

This vehicle was subject to two recalls pertaining to the blower motor wiring and PCV valve heater. The vehicle started to smoke and was taken to the dealer on January 8, 2018. The actual notice of recall was sent out to owners, prior to that. It is now April 12, 2018 and I have heard nothing regarding the repairs to this problems. The dealer to which I took the vehicle said, only "we have no idea - it could be months". this is unacceptable, and I am wondering what my remedies might be. I now have an inoperable vehicle, utilizing a parking space that I pay for and, although BMW is paying for a rental car, it is not a BMW. Thank you for your assistance.

Over the course of three days, while driving my 2010 BMW 328I on a highway at a rate of speed of 65-70 mph, the motor stalled, shut off, died, lost power causing me to have to get to the breakdown lane by forward momentum alone. Very dangerous because the other cars on the road have no idea that my car has no power. After sitting for approximately 15 minutes, I tried starting the car and it started right up and I was able to drive it as though nothing was wrong with it. I called my BMW dealer and am bringing it there tomorrow. He said that the repairs may be covered and that they would know better after looking at the fuel pump because there may be an issue with it. The car only has died while traveling on an interstate highway at a higher rate of speed. Extremely dangerous.
