“Driving down I-25 at 75 mpg on may 28 near berthoud, colorado my sunroof exploded. No trucks nearby. Normal traffic. Weather was about 70 deg f. No rain or hail. Luckily the slider was closed, otherwise we'd be covered in glass. The cars behind me were covered in glass, as was the road. Seems it's happened to a few Bmw cars lately across the globe.”
