X5 catches fire...!?
Anyone ever heard of a cabin fire in an e53 X5?

Someone I know here in NZ lost their LCI 3.0d recently after a fire in the cabin. Car had been sitting for 11 hours prior to fire, was locked and in a garage.

Looking at the images below, my guess is the blower "resistor" went bad, was drawing a lot of power and got so hot it ignited either itself or something else under the dash.

Car is a write-off...
