[QUOTE=Netwon;15986787]From a liability standpoint what would you expect any car manufactured do?
Once you take position of the car you are free to modify it (yes it is leased but people will still change brake pads (less dust), exhaust, down-pipes, rims etc etc.)....

From a liability standpoint I expect the car manufacturer to investigate for the sake of loyal customers the reason why the fire occurred not brush them off and be only worried of who will pay for it. This is an M5, one of their top of the line cars. So even if a large investigation would cost a lot of $$ that could also save a lot of lives, but they made their priorities clear. The car was released to the insurance and sold probably as parts.
What will happen when another M5 go on fire? There was no modifications done to that car, and that car was serviced a week before at their dealership. The car was under warranty, so BMW expects the insurance to pay for warranty issues?
