BMW destroyed by fire within hours as owner lights joss sticks to thank gods for purchase
A man in eastern China whose brand-new BMW caught fire less than a day after he bought it may have set it alight himself when burning incense

I knew BMW drivers were the kind of people who flat-out believe advertising, but even I didn't think they were this dumb...

Is it really BMW drivers? Or is it just some weird ritual in China? Personally, I tend to keep fire away from cars..... something happens when you put a flame next to petrol. Can't remember what though.

The gods ensure your not left in the cold?

For about 20 minutes or so anyway, depending on the distance from the nearest fire station.

Maybe there was a spider?


Honestly, sometimes I am absolutely amazed that certain people managed to make it to adulthood in one piece.

Not defending any BMW owners who display bad driving habits (Audi drivers are just as bad), but this just stinks of religious discrimination and numerous other prejudices. But you sound like a smug, inverted snob anyway, so it makes no difference.

They're good cars, but apparently all of their owners are smug, arrogant, dumb, overpaid, profligate, keep going with all the negative adjectives. :doh::doh::doh::doh:

Possibly hoping for some kind of divine intervention to fix the non functioning indicators?

Do BMW's have lots of problems with indicators?

From what I have witnessed, yes. Mercedes Benz, Audi and VW seem to have similar problems.:rotfl: Maybe the parts are sourced from the same supplier?
