I WAS ROUTINELY EMPTYING THE TRUNK OF MY 2008 BMW 528I ON AUGUST 1, 2009. I HAD TO RETURN TO THE CAB AND MY RIGHT CALF BRUSHED AGAINST THE EXPOSED CHROME TAILPIPES FOR NO MORE THAN A SECOND. THE TAILPIPE WAS SO HOT, I GOT A SECOND DEGREE BURN ABOUT 5 INCHES LONG. I WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM TO HAVE THE WOUND DRESSED AS IT WAS BLISTERING AND I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT INFECTION. I HAVE CONTACTED BMW BUT THEY DENY THERE IS ANY DANGER. THIS INJURY COULD HAPPEN AGAIN TO ME OR ANOTHER PARTY. SEE PHOTOS OF INJURIES AT BMWTAILPIPEBURN.BLOGSPOT.COM. *TR
