I just got a CarFax alert that a new recall hit both my 2008 e90 335i and my 2011 e92 335is. I've seen tons of videos of this happening on YouTube and I thought they were bad meth injection installs. Turns out it's the HVAC wiring that keeps chooching after the vehicle turns off and causes a fire burning these cars down.

BMW is recalling more than 1.4 million cars and SUVs in two U.S. recalls due to the risk of fires under the hood.
The second recall covers nearly 673,000 cars including the 323i, 325i, 325xi, 328i, 328xi, 330i, 330xi, 335i, 335xi and M3 from the 2006-2011 model years.
Wiring for the heating and air conditioning system can overheat and cause connectors to melt, also increasing the fire risk, even when vehicles are unattended. Four drivers reported injuries.
