BMW said: "In some remote cases, the battery cable inside the boot may be incorrectly mounted. This can result in the electrical system malfunctioning, the vehicle failing to start and, in some cases, to charring or fire."
Fewer than 1 per cent of cars inspected so far have exhibited the problem. BMW said it had received nine reports of the defect. An official said: "no injuries to a person have been reported to us."
The car maker will write to owners of all cars affected. It said checks will take around 30mins & be free of charge.
The recall affects around 368,000 cars in America, 283,000 in Germany, 109,000 in Britain & a further 102,000 in China.
