Was driving and saw many random warning lights going off in the car then smoke filled the cabin. I stopped went to the rear of the vehicle opened the trunk and noticed an actual fire coming from the side wall compartment that hold the car jack. After a couple of minutes the entire inside of the car was engulfed in flames.
My car was parked in front of my home and the next morning after a heavy rainstorm, both the front driver and front passenger foot well were filled with water. This is a big issue since the carpet is wet and a ripe breading ground for mould. This issue is concerning since I would expect a BMW vehicle to have no opportunity for leaking water from the outside.

My car caught on fire by itself while I was driving on a Suburban street with the entire family in the car. It was quickly consumed by flames. I stopped at an intersection and we all got out thankfully.
As I was driving on the highway at 70 mph, my locked passenger side door came unlatched. I heard the wind from the outside and the alert came on, that's how I knew it came open. I had already been driving for an hour, so I know it had been closed. Three days later, my locked rear passenger door did the same thing. I had been driving for ten minutes that time and I was going 30 mph. Both times, the door lock remained in the down position. This greatly concerns me as a safety issue.
