The passenger airbag occupancy sensor failed, meaning the supplemental restraint system does not know if someone is sitting the in passenger seat.apparently, this was a recall issue for 2006 bmws, but the manufacturer fails to take responsibility for newer ones like those in 2010.a quick google search will show this is a very common problem.
After hitting a bump when entering a driveway, water spilled in the rear cargo area of the station wagon, water drained into spare tire wheel well where electronic control modules reside shorting out most major controls-anti lock brakes, load leveling, transmission, traction control, etc. It is the lowest point of the car's interior.

2010 bmw 535xi, caught fire in engine compartment resulting in total loss of vehicle. Vehicle has only been maintained at bmw dealership, and current on all inspections, repairs, and maintenance. Fire occurred in duncan doughnuts drive through,slight smell of smoke while at drive through line. While receiving food at window less than a minute or two later, and while in park.flames shot through hood at middle of engine compartment by windshield and rear 1/3 of the middle of the hood with intense smoke. Immediatel reaction was to put in drive and moved foreword to get away from building to get out of door as engine died, we scrambled out of vehicle. 2 employees immediately assisted with fire extinguishers, but engine compartment quickly engulfed 1st in the middle hood then left hood and eventually through the wheelwell. I have all service records, and have had all required repairs, recalls and maintenance performed exclusively at bmw dealership. This vehicle should not just catch fire and burn for no apparent reason and without and warning lights or indicators. Clearly a safety issue here that requires further investigation.i'm really lucky there were no injuries and that the car was stationary and not in my garage, or going down the highway.glad that i was able to get the vehicle to roll away from the building far enough to prevent it from catching on fire also and causing additional property damage.this 2010 bmw 535xi has admittedly been a frequent flier at the bmw dealership. It has had thevalve covers replaced, cv joint replaced, , vanos solenoid valves replaced, shaft seal replaced, rear differential replaced, coolant pump replaced, oil filter housing replaced, fuel injectors replaced twice, bulb holders replaced, side lights replaced, reprogrammed ect.

The contact owns a 2010 bmw 535xi. The contact stated while driving 30 mph the vehicle lost power as the check engine warning indicator and turn the vehicle off illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed it with an engine loss. The contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer who informed her that the cam shaft in the engine broke. The vehicle was not repaired.the manufacturer was notified of the problem.the approximate failure mileage was 85,000.
Had 3 ignition coils replaced at 49000 miles. Was causing rough idle. Had 3 more ignition coils replaced at 67000 miles. Was causing rough idle. Had fuel injector replaced in cylinder 3.
Injectors fail at just 59000; require all six injectors to be replaced.
Two times in the past five days my 2010 bmw 535xi has shut down. Each time it has malfunctioned(12/24/16 and 12/29/16), the automatic downshift activated). Once while traveling up a hill at approximately 35 miles per hour and once while traveling in excess of 55 miles per hour on a very busy highway.i was not able to restart the vehicle and had the vehicle tolled to a local garage. Shortly after arriving the tow operator started the vehicle. It started without hesitation a second time. I left the vehicle at the repair shop and picked it upfour days later. It has started and operated as before until day five when i was traveling uphill and it initiated a downshift and stopped operating. Each time the fuel pump failure indicator came on. It is a scary feeling, especially since each time i was in the midst of other vehicles.
Since i bought the car i had these problems.

Whiletraveling in the midst of traffic on busy roadway the fuel pump stopped operating(on-board computer display). I received a message indicating the vehicle would continue to operate but should be checked. I managed to steer the vehicle from the main roadway before the power steering ceased to operate. This is the third incident in which the fuel pump failure occurred. A previous repost was made to the nhtsa #(10938620). A safety recall was activated for several vehicle with the same high pressure fuel pump, but my vin is not listed in the database. I fear for my life and for the lives of others that could be linked to the potential tragedy that may occur. Today my vehicle was towed to a bmw service center for assessment. Of course the warranty has expired and i am waiting for an outcome and feel vulnerable. I fear that i will be stuck with the excessive expense of resolving the issue or the risk of losing my life.
Fuel injectors failed at 51000 miles casuing loss of engine power randomly without warning extremely dangerous while on the highway. Technician states i need all six injectors replaced.

Experiencing hard bump when braking, hard shifts in sport mode, slow to engage in reverseand hunting for the right gear when coasting. This delayed and jerky response presents a severe driving risk and danger as the vehicle behavior is unpredictable and inconsistent. These are common symptoms of a known mechatronics failure, however bmw refuses to fix this until a code it thrown. Unfortunately the safety of my family should not require a code!!!!!
