Saw this while driving beside Endah Parade.
At first I thought Endah parade was on fire, since the big fire truck is on standby.
Guess i was a bit late to catch the action.



The owner of the car as seen in the 2nd picture was sobbing....
His car will never be the same again..

This is not a BMW "bashing" thread

Carrefour Endah Parade?

When was that?

oh it a 5 series ~ T__T

advisable to delete this phased : Who says BMW is invincible?

if you dun wan ppl start bashing ~ may make it not look so harsh word

lol....5 series kah?? nvm lar...the owner can get new one mah...since he can afford 1...chinese phrase: old don't go, new won't come...

E39, right?

Was the car in an accident? How did the fire start?

Carrefour Endah Parade, http://www.dromoz.com/directory/place/?id=...ar+Carrefour%29

it just goes to show that fire will start in any make of car. from a brand new proton... to a used bimmer...

just have to be careful, but somethings cannot be prevented

seems like an E39, pre-Chris Bangle era
didn't bother to check the whole car, just passing by

Added on February 17, 2008, 12:09 pmNo idea what happened..
I was there after the fire had died out, but can still smell the fire extinguisher dust
As seen in 2nd pic, I can only estimate a big fire since it also burnt the railing in front of the car

no harsh feel , not search argue here ~ where u found those sentence 'BMW are invicible'? dun think anyone have mention BMW are invincible in LYN if I recall

NVM, seem like it overheated burn to me

The slogan for BMW is "Ultimate Driving Machine", does it translate to invincible?
Sorry for my loose translation

Walao... Endah Parade... where I used to spend my weekend dinner + evening shopping + browsing gunpla at Aunty Lenny's shop. Good old memories.

What a pity, such a gorgeous E39 ended up in flames. The flames looked really big as the railings got smoked as well, but the car beside seemed ok so probably no explosions
Hope the owner got some fire insurance for his Beemer.

Oh yeah, what's the point of this thread anyway?

hehehe ~ Ultimate Driving Machine may translated like best car but not invicible ~ lolz

FYI, not it not called 'Ultimate Driving Machine' for sometimes liao ~ lolz

check the website ~ lolz ~ "Steer of pleasure" or something like tat ~

plz get your facts right, http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2006/08...etains_ult.html
maybe i was outdated, but the slogan remains until end of 2006/7
current slogan is "Sheer Driving Pleasure"
no harsh feeling here...

Added on February 17, 2008, 12:32 pmYeah, what a waste
The objective of the thread is to remind all drivers to make sure their cars are in tip-top condition.
Please bring your car for servicing at specified interval at authorized Service Center.

Since the cause of fire is yet to be known, no speculation here

ah long revenge? sudden electric short circuit?
engine tooo hot?

aiyo, last time gt a BMW spilt apart becoz it was flying and hit a tree, long ago someone snap a pic of a 5 series in junk yard due to accident, and now a 5 series burning???

y it catch on fire?? is it the owner simply park his car at the wrong place then other ppl set the fire??

thats why BLM is the best ... less eletronic stuff, less maintenance, hence less headache

Please don't speculate on the cause of fire

*Aggronax fall from the seat*

that merely means that BMWs are meant for driving.. NOT parking
