Yea, looks to be one of those "fake news" stories lol...after BMW did their internal check of those cars they were found to be either in poor condition, not taken cared of, or have 200k+ miles.

Who knows really, I know Mercedes had a huge recall because their cars caught fire as well.

Jalopnik lays it out well

I know the media makes. Everything dramatic, lol that's an interesting article that Jalopnik wrote. Definitely puts a new perspective on the story.
