In January of 2012, BMW recalled almost 89,000 Mini Coopers from model years 2007 to 2011. The reason? A faulty water pump circuit board could smolder and cause a vehicle fire. BMW said that there had been 4 incidents of burned engine compartments as of November 2011 and that replacement of water pumps would begin in February.
There have now been 5 fires.
A friend was at a restaurant in Fulshear, Texas, this weekend when a Mini Cooper in the parking lot went up in flames.
I apologize for the photo, but he was afraid to get any closer. The car was total loss. On YouTube, there is a video of a different Mini Cooper fire.
