2013 STRUCTURE:BODY I PURCHASE VEHICLE FROM BMW MAY 3,2013,WITH 40 MILES SHOWING. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO JUMP START VEHICLE TO GET IT STARTED AND OFF OF SHOW ROOM FLOOR. I ASKED ABOUT THAT AND WAS TOLD IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. AFTER TEST DRIVE AND PURCHASE I DROVE VEHICLE HOME 220 MILE. FOR THE NEXT WEEK EVERY TIME I TRIED TO START VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT START AND ACTED LIKE A DEAD BATTERY. MADE A APPOINTMENT WITH SERVICE DEPT. MAY 15 AFTER DRIVING 25 MILES I HEARD A LOUD NOISE "BANG" AND SMOKE. COAST OFF HWY.STOP CAR OPEN DOOR AND SAW FLAMES COMING OUT FROM UNDER CAR. JUMP OUT AND START TO STORE WITHIN 5 SECONDS HEARD LOUD "BANG" TURN AROUND AND SAW CAR TOTAL ENGULFED IN FLAMES. VFD SHOW UP, TOM GREEN COUNTY TX. SHERIFF MADE REPORT. A BYSTANDER MADE VIEDO AND PHOTOS OF VEHICLE BURNING THAT I HAVE. I ESCAPE BEING ENGULFED IN THAT FIRE BALL BY SECONDS. IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A CHILD SEAT IT WOULD NEVER HAVE SURVIVED! THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A CAR WITH ONLY 300 MILES OFF OF SHOW ROOM FLOOR.I HOPE THIS EVENT IS LOOKED IN TO BEFORE THE WORSE HAPPENS.VEHICLE IS WITH ALLSTATE CLAME#[XXX].
