“On the night of october 18 2020 around 3:30am I was woken by my next door neighbors notifying me that me 2014 Bmw was currently on fire in a uncontrollable blaze.

No electronics work, can't access trunk cause it's electric. And today I wanted to go run an errand but couldn't cause nothing would turn on. …”

“The contact owns a 2014 Bmw 320I. While driving approximately 50 MPH, the brake warning indicator illuminated.

The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000.”
