Just so happens that some parts can cause fires, and until it happens you just don't know. These cars are probably still safer than many cheap electronics in the average home.
In America, 39 people could have been killed by a vehicle defect and the authorities might not even mandate a recall let alone a driving ban. Just ask GM about the now infamous ignition lock cover-up. People lost their lives all just to save a few cents per car. Quite the dichotomy between the two countries and how they handle these issues.

39 is 39 too many! Houses were burned down. Imagine had someone been sleeping and died in a fire. I'm sure if it happened to you or a loved one, your thoughts would be different. |
I know two people whose houses burnt down as a result of e53 aux fans catching fire. That's not to knock BMW, that's just life. If you think 39 is bad then you really don't want to know how many more fires are caused by common appliances and electronics that we all have in our homes.
