There was quite some speculation at the time, vandalism, 'external-cause', etc..
Final thing what I heard was that an after-market anti-theft / tracking system caused the fire. The tracking system was unprofessionally installed by a 3rd party and caused a short-circuit.
All above is speculation. My garage never knew anything about it. Got this story (strictly off the record) from a BMW guy at an BMW event. Never got any confirmation of this story.
Since I was worried about my car (also one of the first ones delivered) I tried contacting the owner but never got an answer back.
