X5M up in flames

UPDATE
Yesterday the investigation happened. Apparently the dealer did not tighten down the Negative or grounding wire to the battery after its last service leaving a gap. This caused the battery to arc and start the fire... No defect on the car itself but rather SEVERE error at the dealership...

As for myself I am still having breathing issues and am going to a pulmonary specialist to resolve the issues.


Well I don't post here much. But wanted to let everyone know my 2016 X5M w/18k miles caught on fire this morning. Fire department said it started from the rear taillight.

Crazy thing is I was stuck in the car cause it shut off and wouldn't let me out. Luckily after what seemed like an hour I was able to power it up a and unlock the doors. Wouldn't let me out of the freaking car otherwise... I will post photos later. Won't let me from my phone.
