BMW builds some seriously hot engines, but it got a little too literal with one of its recent six-cylinder examples. As it turns out, there are quite a few at risk of catching fire due to starter issues. The total number of vehicles potentially affected is 196,355, and they’re spread across quite a few models. Among BMWs, affected models are 2022 BMW 2 Series, 2019 to 2021 BMW 3 Series, 2021 to 2022 BMW 4 Series, 2020 to 2022 BMW 5 Series, 2020 to 2022 BMW X3, 2020 to 2022 BMW X4, and 2019 to 2022 BMW Z4. Since the Z4 is included, so is the Toyota Supra, specifically 2020 to 2022 models. Among the recalled vehicles, most of them are 3 Series, with more than 80,000 estimated to have a troubled starter. It’s a stark contrast to the Z4, of which only one example might have a starter that needs to be replaced with a revised part.
