First & foremost, thanks all for responding and the kind words on my Wife's well-being. This could have turned out much worse and we are grateful that everyone is safe.

Here's a photo of the base/hub of the fan. Surprisingly, the fan looks fairly normal, but weirdly, there's an oily substance around the hub and shroud area of the fan. I swabbed a Q-tip in the 2nd photo - it reeks of burnt electronic smell. I'm still not sure if it's the motor that caught fire or the logic board as others have suggested. Either way, it blew out a 50 Amp fuse which is huge. We're calling our local BMW dealer tomorrow that we purchased her from to see if there are any outstanding recalls or if any were missed. I'm contemplating replacing the 50 Amp fuse to see what happens but I don't need a repeat of the original event again. The A/C no longer works and we're hoping it's due to the fan problem and not that the A/C compressor is toast as a result of the fan getting cooked.
