HEADLIGHTS. FIRE HAZARD BECAUSE OF BRITTLE AND BARE WIRING INSIDE OF HEADLIGHT HOUSING. Confirmation is as simple as looking inside of headlight to change a bulb. The vehicle does not set any codes to make you aware of wiring issue.

Headlight wiring harness sleeves have rotted, the exposed copper wiring can short inside the vehicle causing a spark, prolonged contact between bare wires will generate heat capable of melting the headlight unit and plastic components around it.

About a month ago, (today's date is 10/8/18) my drivers side reverse light went out. With it being a light that isn't really a necessity or safety hazard, I didn't have any urgency replacing. Last night I decided to peel the cover off the trunk to access my tail light, and once removed, the entire bulb housing falls out of the tail light. There is a lot of melted plastic (it was very very hot) in the tail light. I examine the bulbs, none being burnt out. No where on the part that the lights actually go into has any heat damage (burnt and cracked plastic). I then contact my mechanic with a video asking him what I need to resolve the issue now that I see my tail light is literally melted. He says he'll have to check it out and will come by in the morning. He was 'baffled' and said that it is entirely a manufactures defect, after inspecting the connector, as well as all the wiring. I then had him, (out of curiosity) check and see if the passenger side was also defected. I get on google and see that this is a common problem with my exact car, and numerous peoples vehicles have burst into flames but there isn't a recall?? Even people's cars that are turned off??? I have two toddlers and just traveled 750 miles away 1500 miles from home and back. I am very angry at the fact that they as well as my own safety was in danger the entire time and we had no knowledge of. And I'm even more angry that I could have been taking my niece to an appointment tomorrow morning (I do have to find other means to get her there) and my car just combusts, had I not cared to replace the bulb, my car could catch on fire while typing this complaint. I have seen a lot of people say bmw is taking no responsibility for this issue.

Both front headlamp assembly's have had to be replace three times due to the bulbs melting their bases - this includes melting of both turn signals bulbs. The cost to replace a single front headlamp assembly is $990, $1,980 for both, times three times.... This is unbelievable and is a big problem with bmw 3 series cars

Front headlight assembly's, both right and left, the wiring insulation is falling off of all the headlight wires thus leaving an array of completely exposed copper wiring. Upon reading in the bimmer computer forum this is a common happening in most ~ 2000 vintage bmw's. Bmw's response is this is normal wear and tear and blamed on florida weather even though this doesn't exist in other auto model's.

Blinkers continue to go out the bulbs are fine so are the sockets. They sometimes work but most of the time not after reading online I found there are several others with similar if not the same exact issues. They have found there to be something wrong with the frm modules. If you play with the bulb long enough or very slowly turn the socket it might come on but decides wether to stay on or not there is no pattern to it.

My rear left tail lamp warning light came on. We can't figure out what is wrong and all of the lights still work.

Plastic insulation has cracked and peeled on all wiring inside my front headlight housings. Exposed wiring creates a potential short circuit and fire hazard.

This is an addition to our previous recall problems as all electrical shut off as well. Here are the additional documents to be added to public record that indeed 6 recalls were recorded to our registered VIN and yet was told bmw had no obligation to adhere to these documents?! Its also crazy that we have tons of documents and yet we are allowed to show a mbyte at a time. How convenient.
