This happened to a co worker of mine, Hyundai Veloster, 6 months old, parked in traffic and it exploded all over him and his young daughter.
Showered them with glass

Do you think it may be related to heating/cooling cycles both inside and outside the car coupled with manufacturing flaws?

It was early morning, car had been sitting all night, so interior and exterior wouldn't have been very different, he was about 10mins into the drive from home toward his daughters school, stopped at light,so its not like he hit a pothole, or it was extremely hot or cold outside etc. He said it sounded like an explosion, it was so loud.

[That doesn't explain, however, why regular simple rectangular panels explode every now then... ]

The sunroof on an acquaintance's F32 just exploded yesterday. Weather has been mild (8-12C) and raining so I don't think the issue is temperature related. Scary stuff.
