Wow, that's crazy. Up to now I've only heard of two e92 m3s go on fire but that was at the rear tire. Hope everything works out for you!

Man, that's just awful. I don't think there's a car on the planet where, without something being massively wrong, you can SET THE ENGINE ON FIRE simply by aggressively driving it. You know, and not ramming it into things. Or aggressively driving it through a fire.

Although I do have to say, they're certainly right about it overheating. It clearly overheated your bumper right off!

Wow I can't believe that decision.
Please take legal action, and sue the hell out of everyone. Everyone!!

Keep in mind that he is in the UK. If you sue someone in the UK and do not win, you have pay the other sides legal fees. In the US this would have been settled months ago as it is much easier/less risky to sue.

I generally agree with the Euro system as they are much less litigious than we are, but in this case I hope the OP sues.
