Weasel will become famous soon enough
And I'm wondering about the exploding battery deal.... There's only one way I've seen batteries explode, a spark igniting the hydrogen gasses produced by the battery. But the batteries don't produce that much unless it is being overworked, (maybe the guy put a lesser battery in?) and he must not have installed the vent tube installed as the gassed should have been directed to outside the car... without the vent tube hooked up the gasses go right to the rear fuse/relay box, which at the very lease causes corrosion, and that area could have been the source of spark/ignition as well.

And no one that site seems to know the depth and complexity of the charging systems on these cars, especially with the intelligent battery sensors, power modules, efficient dynamics, etc. Long gone are the days of simple charging systems, or any simple system really. There almost aren't ANY simple switched 12v systems left on BMWs other than the lighter sockets and seat heaters... everything else is PWM signals, even the interior lighting since valvetronic...
