Got recall 2 years ago: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/bmw-recalling-917000-us-vehicles-over-engine-fire-concerns-2022-03-09/

The recall in the article does not include 2 series it seems. So a new problem BMW has yet to discover?

Request to share some info and neighbour sent this :

 

Disclaimer : This is NOT proof of the cause of fire in all the recent bmw cars that caught fire. Am not responsible for anyone's discretion or conclusion. 

Just sharing in case there are some owners unaware of this EGR recall. It's free afterall and do it for peace of mind ya. 

 

Thank you for sharing. 

The problem look serious enough for me, since leakage of coolant could trigger a fire. If I am an owner of a 2 series, I would choose to leave my car at home than to worry about fire outbreak when I am driving it.

Yes it is a known problem. In the UK they replaced their BMW police cars because always got this issue.

Basically, if we realized, it's the 2 series having such issue. As for mercs, it's the CLB 180 series. Had one burn in front of my son's school 2 years back.

A vehicle caught fire at CTE AMK ave 5 Slip road yesterday. Pretty big fire. Not small one.

Fire Rhino and Fire engine came.

Dunno which vehicle.

@Lala81 Hope no one was injured. Did the traffic get affected badly because of the fire?
