Spontaneous BMW Combustion and BMW is ignoring it kinda!

Came across this story and wow, is this weird. Yup we have heard stories of Humans who spontaneously combust, but BMW? Owners are saying it and some are even being paid to keep quiet according to this ABC story I came across.

Seems these fires have happened from sitting for days or just being turned off, but something is causing these German Driving Machines to spontaneously combust.

Makes you wonder if this could be BMW's version of GM's Ignition scandal, VW diesel gate or Takata airbags?
