That's terrible, hope you are okay. Any ideas as to what the cause might have been?

im fine thanks mate gutted about the car tho!

I looks like something on the turbo side of the engine started the fire.
by the time i had got to the side of the road it was to out of control to do anything about it so we just ran and phoned the fire brigade.

This is clear proof that BMW's are just too hot to handle sometimes.

Really sorry about your car. It was beautiful.
