Purchased the car 8/15/26 from a local BMW dealer. The car has 5,000 miles on it and has only been owned by the dealership until I purchased it. On 9/6/26, while parked in my garage, the tire blewout spontaneously. The force knocked items off my garage wall. The sound was captured on my home security system despite being no where near the incident. Dealer claims there was no prior damage, and the car has not sustained any damage since the purchase.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
