Am I the only one thinking that someone may be conspiring against Mr. Spira?!
If no one is trying to kill him then I would say definitely after market mods.

This probably from the compartment fires they recalled that caused this fire. I had an 2010 X6M, it got lemmon lawed and I had it for 10 months and it was in the shop for 3 months. one Issue of the recall was the fuel pump and a pump that goes to the turbo or something that was causing sparks and caused fires that they fixed on my car. probably this car had those problems.

I just had the worst experience with my 2012 X6M, my car was set on fire,after fuel injectors replacement, done at a dealership.
Since new, i experienced problems with engine light, power loss and engine entering safe mode. after thousands spent in replacements, some covered by warranty and some not, they said a campaign was open for my car and i should go for a fuel injectors replacement. 30 days of parts waiting time and my car finally was ready for a test drive. A phone call at the end of the day saying that my car was totaled by fire ended this story. has been more than 70 days and BMW Brasil is incapable of giving me a feedback. next wed is my final deadline to receive a feedback, after this, no other way if not moving a lawsuit against the dealership and BMW Brasil.Has anyone gone trough this experience besides Mr Spira? How BMW is dealing with it? Last edited by Tr2; 09-22-2016 at 04:21 PM.. |

I would think their lawyers would invoke Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act to fight it. In this case not sure how they would determine the fire was caused by aftermarket considering the extensive damage. They might be able to prove a tune was done but not sure how you would prove tune caused fire. "According to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty of your vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part was the cause of or contributed to the failure of the vehicle" https://www.autoanything.com/resourc...act-explained/

The POP is likely a Piezoelectric fuel injector blowing out its ball pintle, while DFI ignition process lit everything up. Its deffo fuel-related.
Guys, religiously run a PEA-based fuel and injector cleaner. I recommend keeping a gallon of Lucas Fuel System Cleaner handy. Below is what happens after only TWO TANKFULS of ARCO 91 Octane "Top Tier" gasoline. Can you say "Reduced Power....":

My 2010 X5M spontaneously combusted just before Christmas, had 90000km in perfect condition, AA tuned..I was gutted. BMW recalled many vehicles for bad PCV heaters and heater modules, mine was one of them but it still caught fire.
Fortunately I found a 2012 with only 45000km that is like brand new, had to buy another AA tune but they gave me a courtesy discount. Apparently it is a known issue with certain years of X5's but BMW are in denial. https://photos.google.com/u/1/photo/...QJGRKp8B5eYFum https://photos.google.com/u/1/photo/...QsP_9MIGbbOqwm Inside of my tool shed was completely gutted too, $35K just in contents |
