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.

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

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.
