I've seen plenty of burned cars at my uncle's body shop. That X5 is big time scorched. Even the engine covers went up in smoke.

Nope, I was just browsing our local salvage auction. They have a completely toasted M3 convertible (everything that is not metal is gone) there as well (with seemingly no collision damage). My guess is either a mechanics or manufacturing fault.
