It has been a bad 24 hours for BMW’s on STATter911.com. This is the third incident that we’ve posted involving the demise of a BMW. It started early yesterday morning with the tragic death of lobbyist Ashley Westbrook Turton inside her burning SUV at her Southeast Washington home. Then there was the car fire during live snow coverage by WXIA-TV in Marietta, Georgia.
