Fire extinguishers.

[5KWattson]

ALL cars will catch fire if they have been neglected, oil leaks on hot exhaust, fuel leaks on hot exhaust ect ect, just maintain your car replace leaking gaskets/lines and you wont have to worry about it

[Gruelius]

a ground lead killswitch is what you want. incabin would be cool.

If you're that concerned, I advise you to put it in the cabin somewhere and not in the trunk.

Ditto.

I was never aware of e30s having a burning problem. I always thought it was more a VW thing.

Oh it definitely is a VW thing too, coil packs ftl. I've seen a brand new Phaeton come back to the dealer after catching fire from a coil pack.

I'm not that concerned really, just thought it would be a fun thread to see how many burning shots we can come up with.

I really will be putting one in the trunk though, since my car doesn't lock it will always be easy to get to.

saw a vert cooking one day in a parking lot on the way to lunch. Fire extinguisher seems like a good idea.

They catch on fire just like Ferraris do. Therefore e30 = Ferrari.




Because racecar

[JayDee916]

Yeah, I'm gettin one.

[urbancynic]

It's because no one ever replaces the fuel lines in the engine bay so they burst and catch fire.

I was never aware of e30s having a burning problem. I always thought it was more a VW thing. Sure all cars can burn but I don't think e30s are that prone to it.

That said, can't hurt to have a fire extinguisher. Sounds like a good idea to me.

[Exodus_2pt0]

This was apparently an E30 as well.

And another one. I'm on a roll.

I will keep posting them as I see em/find em.

[Exodus_2pt0]

I have decided to throw one in the trunk of my car. Not because race car....

My reasoning is that in the short time I have been on this forum I have seen more pictures of burning e30's than any car forum I have EVER joined.

Whats the deal?
