2012 BMW 328

BMW is recalling certain vehicles over bolts that may loosen or break over time. The issue affects more than 155,600 vehicles.

BMW’s latest recall for a potential fire risk is both an expansion and a supersession of two previous notices that tallies more than 917,000 cars and SUVs.

Automatics have gotten much better than manuals — not from the perspective of stick-shift fans, but in the broader sense (and the dollars-and-cents sense).
