2014 BMW 320i owner complaints

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. From the engine bay of the car down to my fuel tank and pumps were shooting out flames covering the car itself by the time I was able to run from my room to my car I can see that the damage was done. I proceeded to call the fire department and put out the fire myself while I waited for them to arrive, I did not drive the car for a total of 8+ hours and it was sitting and parked in front of my drive way. My car showed no signs of catching on fire on its own, it just randomly caught ablaze, after I put out the fire and talked with the fire department from first glance we knew this wasn't arson but a possible electric and or malfunc

Brand new car (2 months old, about 2000 miles). Received warning on highway that my left rear tire was low and to pull over. I have run flats so I slowed down in right lane and exited to get to a gas station. The tire was not flat but I put air in it and the tpm went back to green. The next morning the same thing happened and I drove straight to BMW of naples where they topped off all 4 tires and said it's normal and to come back if it happened again. The next morning was fine. Day 4 after the first incident we get in the car in the morning and all 4 tires read low. We start driving to warm them up and see if that helps. 3 tires went back up to normal but the back left tires remains low reading. We looked it over and cannot see any punctures, nails, etc. (BMW didn't find anything either al

I got my 2014 BMW 320i xdrive 10 months ago, love the car! But since I've had it, this has happened like 5 times now, when I shut the car off with the first push of the button everything shuts off including electrical which isn't suppose to shut off until the 2nd push of the button. So basically nothing will work on it at all until it wants to work on its own. It left me and my kids stranded one time cause literally nothing would turn on. 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. Nothing wrong with the key fobs at all and also tested the battery which is good. Just to diagnose here at the BMW dealership is $131. I don't have that kind of money right now just to see what's wrong with it. I wa

Timing chain issue that is common with the BMW n20 engines. The chain is starting to loosen and have some slack. Afraid it could brake and jump teeth as it does it so many online horror stories wrecking the car's engine after it breaks and gets sucked into it. I believe a recall should hopefully happen. A sorts of class action lawsuits and settlements but no recall yet.

Takata recall my lights are malfunctioning they turn off when driving signaling or braking

Tail lights showed up as a malfunction on the console, I thought it was a bad bulb so I replaced it but while doing so I noticed that the harness and pin from the bulb holder was melt. The weird part about this is that only 1 pin was burnt, after doing research and I found out that this was a common issue with other BMW. I spoke with many other owners on forums and they experienced the same issue, this isn't just isolated to the 2014 BMW 320xi but other BMW vehicles seem to have the same flaws. Other also reported that even after replacing the housing and harness but the issue occurred again. This can be consider as a fire hazard, something is clearly cause this to melt and short out the BMW tail lights. My concern that it was spark and cause real damage.

Rental of 2014 BMW 320i in june 2014. Parked auto in level parking lot by placing foot on brake and depressing "park" button on gear shift, after which wife exited passenger seat to retrieve package in rear seat. When brake released to turn off engine, auto rolled forward onto wife's left foot, crushing it into the pavement under the weight of rear wheel of auto and causing her to fall hard on concrete pavement. Gear shift when "park" button engaged had gone into "neutral" one gear above "park." because engine was turned off and has to be depressed twice very slowly - with space in-between each depression - or engine will not engage, rear wheel was crushing wife's foot for 1-2 minutes before engine would re-engage and auto could be rolled off her foot. Please note that 2014 mbw 320i gea

While driving on the highway the vehicle stopped accelerating and the power train malfunction light came on. The vehicle was undrivable and could only be coasted to a safe position.

On wednesday, oct 30th 2019, I was driving my 2014 BMW 320 (VIN: [xxx]) from my doctor office in carmel (indiana) to zionsville (indiana) during lunch time, my engine abruptly shut down at mile 55 on the highway 465. Fortunately, I was close enough to park the car on the right roadsite of the highway 465( 1 mile close to exit 27). When I attempted to restart the car on the roadside, the starter turned over, but the engine would not start. Accordingly arranged to have my 320i towed to closeby auto shop (matthews auto repair shop in 725 east 106th street, indianapolis, in 46280), which is auto shop closeby almost 40 years service. On oct 31th, I received a call from a service representative at auto shop. He told me that my fuel pump had failed and needed to be replaced due to quality pr

All rubber seals around the windshield and windows have melted and water is pouring in all over while driving making it very unsafe while driving. All rubber in the car and outside of the car is melting. It is pouring down on all of the electronics in the car as well and filling up the inner light consul. This is not a convertible. It is the faulty rubber all over the car that is causing enormous problems with safety, please address this as I am very concerned and cannot drive the car anymore but am still paying for it. Thank you
