2002 BMW M5 Engine problems

I have a 2002 525i which I drove to work on january 15, 2019. After being in work for 15 minutes, I was notified that the entire front end of my car was engulfed in flames. The top of the hood, under the hood, and under the front end of my car was completely on fire. I have read about the pvc recall for 2007-2011, but I also read "bmw had looked into heat damage involving the heating and cooling system as early as 2007 but stepped up its analysis work in september." That was from a chronology report provided by...

My bmw m3ci is again in the shop. In the last 23k miles, the car has seen the shop more than anyone's imagination. Now the engine revs high at idle, transmission light (smg 2 of m3) came on, which no one seems to know why, and mysteriously disappeared. The car now vibrate trhough out the cabin and at steering wheel it vibrates abnormally. The dealer tries to down play it. It's been in th shop for the last 14 days, and still no ending insight

Car has hesitated while being driven at or above 50 mph. Car has stalled completely while accelerating out of a parking lot and while being driven at 40 mph. *Nlm

While in traffic on the highway, the engine died without any warning. Dealer serviced the vehicle on 04/15/2002 because of difficulties in starting the engine. Failure of the engine while in traffic of 60+ mph placed myself and a passenger in great peril because I was unable to put the car on the shoulder when the engine died with the car in a traffic lane. I want to know if bmw has experienced similar problems with other new models and what is going to be done to prevent another occurrence. The car is only a few months old.*Ak
