Fire reported

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THAT MY 2012 328XI BMW CAUGHT ON FIRE SUNDAY MORNING AT 0315 AS I STOPPED FOR COFFEE. MY CAR WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF AND WHEN I RETURNED AFTER 3 MINUTES OR SO MY CAR WAS SMOKING AND A FEW MINUTES AFTER THAT ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I KNOW THERE WERE ISSUES WITH MYSTERIOUS FIRES AND I WANT TO REPORT THAT I AM ONE OF THEM.
