Description of the problem | I started my car turned on both heated seats and begin seeing smoke and smelled distinct burning.... I pulled out of my garage and immediately pulled to the curve. My left side drivers seat was smoking and i realized my pants had a hole burned in them along with a hole in my seat. I have contacted bmw but to date no response back from them. This is a dangerous flaw in the bmw and needs further action taken. I could have been burned or this could have caused me to have a serious accident. Further my very low mileage car could have been consumed in flames. |
