BMW Fires

As a current owner of a '12 335, the recent news about sudden mysterious fires in BMWs caught my attention.

ABC Report:
Parked BMWs bursting into flames leave owners with questions - ABC News

After reading more about it however, was ABC a little unfair towards BMW?

Jalopnik says the story is bunk:

I've witnessed one car fire in my life, and it was an older American car that had been parked in the parking lot at work. Intense fire, and hot! Had it been parked in a garage, could easily burn the whole thing down.

I'm sure this is a risk for any car... right?
