Motorist sues BMW over "carbon monoxide poisoning"

A court has heard that a Mini Clubman with a faulty turbocharger has allegedly poisoned its driver with exhaust fumes over an 18-month period.

The Irish Times reported Helen Noble, a solicitor and mother of two from Co Wicklow, is suing BMW, which is Mini's parent company, the BMW dealership in Ireland that leased her the car and the bank that financed the deal.
