Billcoke 2nd Gear April 16, 2008 Share April 16, 2008 Is this the new BMW 5 series, E60? A red BMW caught fire at about 11.00am today along Cantonment Road. A STOMP reader who was at the scene sent in pictures of the burning wreck. The Singapore Civil Defence Force received a call about the incident at 10.57am. No one was hurt in the incident. http://www.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne%2BNews...0416-60155.html ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeniz Turbocharged April 16, 2008 Share April 16, 2008 I have heard of many such BMW cases (especially the COE ones) in recent few years. Is there a problem with BMW? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderer Clutched April 16, 2008 Share April 16, 2008 I guess this is quite subjective as only the owner knows if the car is modded or not. All cars can burned up if the circuitry is being short circuited inside. But BMW holds more of this stuff though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contax 1st Gear April 16, 2008 Share April 16, 2008 merc too . probably that BMW has a mind of it own , feel that it's too old to take the 'heat' from the owner so self destruct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puffer_fish Clutched April 16, 2008 Share April 16, 2008 usually it is the fuel pipe that has gone hard and not replace. thus over time once the rubber hose that deliver fuel turn hard and start to leak espically into the engine bay once contact with exhaust manifold coe car can buy but need to replace all rubber parts asap once you purchase Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contax 1st Gear April 16, 2008 Share April 16, 2008 Does the driver and passengers usually get to survive in such car burnt?
