Problem overview

Some BMW X2 owners report experiencing engine start issues, with reports indicating instances where the vehicle engines fail to start and evidence of heat damage in the engine compartments. This has prompted an engineering investigation following field reports of no-start conditions and thermal damage. As a result, a recall affecting 105,588 vehicles, including various models such as the 2020 3-Series and 2019-2020 X5, has been initiated. BMW plans to resolve the problem through a software update designed to prevent electrical overloads in the engine starters, which can overheat during repeated starting attempts. Owners are advised to visit authorized BMW centers for these necessary updates.
