Weasel will become famous soon enough
I would have never thought antifreeze to be flammable, and do not think the HID xenon lights get that hot anyways as they run cooler than halogens....

Something doesn't smell right about this story..... radiator fluid does not leak out sideways and pool in the halogens, heat to 240F then flash....

But hey, BMW engineers flew over... I am sure the truth will get published.

Yeah. They will start by noting that the owner was behind 3 payments on the X5.....

My best friend is an executive for Suzuki automobile division. He is a former Master Tech, and flies around the country examining cases like this. You'd be amazed at the pictures he has shown me, of what people will do to rid themselves of a car. In the end, they always fail.

I would not be too surprised to find-out that alcohol might have been involved.
