Yeah they have 30-45 minute segments EVERY NIGHT now on the news detailing this crisis. It gets blared in my face at the gym every night it's getting a little annoying. My girlfriend's apartment complex banned BMW's in the parking garage and they have to park outside where there isn't any parking to begin with. Many, many apartment complexes have BMW only parking.

That's actually not true, all the hospital's I've been to have fire suppression systems. I've been here 4 years and counting. While building codes and safety standards aren't the same as the US, it's still a first world country. And it's not a "few" BMW's, it affects over 100,000 models in country. I think people have a right to worry.

This is definitely true, my coworker spent 10 days in the hospital, private room and everything, and the hospital stay plus meds when he left were extremely cheap. He paid $6 out of pocket. Try THAT in the states... Another coworker's daughter had scoliosis surgery and spent 14 days in the hospital and spent $1,800 out of pocket.... |
I'm over here right now. Got here the night this all started with dramatic news briefs with white bmws on fire lolllll
Everyone freaking out. Little do they know it's such a small percentage.
Overrreaction? Yes. They have nothing better to report about. They replay random YouTube videos on the news for crying out loud. Your typical person won't know anything about cars but will idolize foreign makes like all other big brand names.
IMO... the Kia stinger is sexy as hell. They're finally starting to more roll around here.
the only thing it would make a mess is with insurance and liability issues.
