​​​​It is being reported that BMW has been slapped with a fine of $10 Million by the South Korean Government over an issue that originated months earlier over engine fires caused by the exhaust systems. The charges brought forward by the transport ministry have alleged that the automaker tried to cover up the issue and took too long to recall the 172,000 vehicles. BMW said in a statement that they are fully cooperating with the authorities and is committed to resolving the issue.
BMW is estimated to be second most popular imported brand in South Korea, with sales exceeding 60,000 vehicles last year.
