Just over a year of ownership and the headlights are fogging over with condensation on the inside of the headlight housing. Googling this problem produces hundreds of thousands of results, including forum posts and facebook/instagram reels showcasing this issue across the BMW G42 platform. Apparently, typical driving causing the back-bottom side of the headlight housing to form micro-cracks large enough to allow moisture in. This moisture appears to haze up or fog up the headlights with condensation on the front of the lenses, obstructing light output and potentially ruining the headlights in the long-term. This design flaw is a cause for safety concerns should the headlight be completely obstructed or fail at night while the car is in operation. It reduces visibility of the car for others on the road, and reduces the ability for the driver to see. A 2025 car should not be having these issues and needs to be covered under an extended warranty if they can't manufacture a replacement that solves this issue.

The contact owns a 2025 BMW M240i. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked and unattended in an underground garage and covered for an unknown reason. Upon returning to the vehicle the following day and attempting to open the doors with the key Fob, the doors failed to open, requiring the contact's husband to use the BMW mobile app to open the doors. Upon entering the vehicle, it was discovered that the interior of the vehicle was burnt. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer referred the contact to the insurance company. The manufacturer was contacted and had sent engineers who inspected the vehicle and determined that a BIC lighter found inside the vehicle might have caused the fire and explosion. The BIC manufacturer was notified of the failure. The BMW manufacturer advised the contact to obtain a third-party investigation. The failure mileage was approximately 9,536.
