Poor thing could have been a victim of arson, insurance, or itself

Reminds me of a blue E46 325 convertible arson victim that sits atop a shipping container at the entrance of my local scrap yard with "free car removal" spray painted on the side

Heat affects metals in different ways, and I wouldn't trust the alloys from either car!, once aluminum exceeds 500*C for any period of time it gradually becomes soft and may be liable to fail if used again!
