The contact owns a 2012 bmw 650i. The contact was driving 70 mph, in a thunderstorm in the left lane of the interstate, when he noticed a bolt of lighting land just to the right of the interstate in the grass. 31 of 43 electrical modules failed immediately, including the engine, steering, brakes, radio and the dashboard. The vehicle couldn't be re-started, or even shifted into to neutral. The vehicle was at the bmw dealership for 105 days, without interruption. None of the replaced parts exhibited any physical stigmata of high voltage electrical damage and there was no burning, scorching, or melting evident on any of the printed circuit boards inside the replaced components. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but asserted that the bmw warranty did not cover malfunctions related to environmental influences such as thunderstorms. The failure mileage was 2,345.

Bmw group issued voluntary recall no. 18v-248: electronic auxiliary water pump failure.prior to receiving a recall notice by mail, my car's instrument panel registered the following message while driving and on cold startup: "engine temperature high, drive moderately..." .the temperature gauge read normal before, during, and after the warning message displayed (both stationary and while driving).the bmw service center informed me the message was due to the recalled auxiliary water pump failure, 18v-248.in addition, the turbo coolant lines were found to be leaking which the service center informed me were not covered by the recall.it seems a faulty auxiliary water pump would cause or increase the likelihood of failing turbo coolant lines.in addition, a failing circuit board could render other electrical failures in the vehicle that bmw is not acknowledging in this recall.i request nhtsa investigate and compel bmw group to expand on this recall.
