[Photo] BMW cars catch on fire again

After various BMW models were recalled due to a series of BMW vehicles catching fire throughout South Korea last year, the German automaker is facing heated criticism after six of its vehicles caught fire in the Greater Seoul area within the past week, including models that were not subject to last year’s recall. A BMW X6 SUV burst into flames in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, on Nov. 3, and a 3 Series sedan caught fire in Seoul on Nov. 1. Both cars were recalled and repaired accordingly. Three of the six BMW vehicles that have caught fire within the past week were repaired after being recalled.
