The front in aluminium seems less proof to fire than the steel body 
Btw. the car is diesel, either 530d or 535d. My guess 530d.

wow, I guess that's what you call "well done" in burnt out car terms. that poor E60 must have been burning for some time - especially when looking at the other pictures where only parts of the car was burnt. :'(

Yes, that was very big surprise. I knew that aluminium can burn, but this is something I couldn't even think about. Melt away :'(

Aluminium has a much lower melting point than steel, hence the damage.
