Some people need to have their right to breathe revoked!

Fair enough these idiot children were doing dumb things, but what is baffling is how did this m3 catch fire. Surely an exhaust is designed to withstand high degrees of heat, especially considering the m3 was built for track use.

Obliviously the exhaust will get hot in track conditions but you never hear of m3's been burnt because of over revving:nonono:.

Something does not add up, I have a hunch it its probably electrical:idea:

Nahh, Last weekend at the Nurburgring I was following an new F type Jag, the guy was constantly hitting the limiter and driving like an idiot, he made it 10km around the lap before I encountered hime again with flames bellowing from under the car. No car is designed to bang off the limiter constantly.

@Akash... That made me wet my Pants bru. Thanks!! :biglol::biglol::biglol:

Well there we have it. :nonono:

I hope insurance DOESN'T pay for it!

can somebody mechanically minded explain to me how revving a car can cause it to burn out? remember this is a N/A car. No turbo, no meth etc.

like hoosain says....something else must have gone wrong?

Rommies;

I have found a technical and scientific reason why the car caught on fire.

Please bear with me as it is a little complicated.

Upon driving the car down to Durban and as soon as the Marian Hill toll plaza was crossed, there is a remarkable increase in the amount on Chillie Powder and Mothers in law Masala in the atmosphere, the measurement of which is mind boggling.

There is a missed conception that rust on cars in Durban is caused to the close proximity of the Indian Ocean. However the intense red colour characteristic of the rust is directly proportional to the Chillie Powder and Masala compounds found in the atmosphere in Durban.

Now back to these unfortunate events. I believe that these Masala and Chillie powder compounds found in the atmosphere attached itself to the exhaust system. VW Golf drivers have counted these effects by lowering their cars as close to the ground as possible thus removing as much of these harmful Chillie Powder and Masala particles as possible when hitting road deviations resulting in an abrasive effect on the road surface. The addition of numerous spoilers also aids with preventing these highly combustible particles from reaching their exhaust systems

Our unfortunate bright sparks, with a combination of “check me with my Bra’s, Bally’s M3 syndrome”, “Durban Stekkies looking for a Lanie husband” and the now pissed off Masala and Chillie powder particles that have now attached themselves to the exhaust, ignited by the extreme heat of the exhaust due to the “AMG V8…. I’ll show you performance exhaust Bru” principle.

Thus resulting in one expensive night of Jollying with the Bally’s car.

I must say I concur with you apotheosis dear sir.

I see you M3 rev battle and raise you a V1 engine...

[Nick]

^^ I want one!! raise:

 

[Peter@AEW]

@akash a +1 for the fit of laughter after reading your post

 

[Spy007]

I actualy saw this a few days ago outside rustenburg. as you come in. Twas x3 shape.

Huge smoe from engine bay and as I went past grass under car caught light. Happend at the roadworks side neer dam just before where spietkops always sit. Might have it on dash cam.

I'd rather keep my opinion to myself or else I'll get banned
All I can say they deserve what they got
No respect for fine machinery

 

[DieselFan]

Yip I hope the insurance sees this and they don't see a cent. Harsh. But you don't treat a car like that. Who stands on the roof of a bmw m3. Guy probably thought he was in a rap video.

 

[Photokid]

damn...used cars ye..so much more difficult to buy.

 

[Philip Foglar]

Threads merged. :thumbs:

As for the M3 being burnt out from this utter stupidity and lack of sensible values, I have no words really!! :bangdesk:

 

[Crash_Nemesis]

So I guess if we are going to be looking at buying any performance BMW's, we should do a background check on the owner, his family, and whether they have any young son's...

I'd also make BMW do logging on the car I wish to buy to check how many times the car has hit the limiter...

 

[MikeR]

Wonder what insurance will say...

thank you for keeping ur payments up to date, however stupidity was not included in your cover ... :thumbs:

:thumbs:

I hope they dont pay out...this is one of the reasons why we pay so much more for insurance.
