It's nice they provided you with a replacement 30D but will they also match the difference in VAA taxes because that alone is several 100's € a month (provided it is registered to your business)? |

The car was registerd in my business, but this one is a temporary solution, it wont be in the company ! For the moment I have only my Mercedes E300 Hybrid and a Ducati in the company.
For me, I'm testdriving a demo car from BMW :-) |

With what you're writing now, I am VERY concerned that it is a fire that originated in the battery compartment and that the heating is not the root cause. |

A pitty nobody managed to put out that smoke before the fire started. (who has a fire extinguisher in his backpocket or perfect reflexes in these kind of situations right?). Glad to hear BMW BELUX is helping you out with a replacement car and trying to fix you a new order asap. Also your wife's reaction is normal I think. I guess the fear needs the settle a bit and you have to think about chances on this happening. Compared with fires cause by electrical devices/charging cables in your home, like some people mentioned already. I will just put a fire detector on the ceiling at my parking spot and be done with it. You can only take that many precautions to avoid some things from happening. |

Was the car doing anything specific at all that you know about? Was it pre-heating or anything? |

Filip, sorry this happened. My father is about to order is from a dealer in Flanders, and I gave him the heads up.
Question: is your X5 lowered in the photos where you have it on winters? |

looks like standard lowering using air suspension - you can put car pretty low but only to load/unload really. Driving would raise it one level. You have five levels, default is the middle level. You can lower it one level while driving - sport mode automatically lowers it one level. The second level down is only possible when you stop the car. Same thing for up I suppose but I never really use up compared to middle point / default option because I don’t see the need to do that. I suppose it’s more for off-roading then in terms of use case.

Indeed , lowered the car to take the picture, is not the default :-)
The car was scheduled to pre-heat in the morning at 7h50. Then my wife leaves at home brings the children to school and drives to the school where she teaches. That should be around 8h20. No charging, pre-heat should be stopped. Then at 11h20 people saw the fire and smoke, it was already to late. Fire fighters took only 8 minutes ... |

Shouldn't the insurance just pay you the total insured value of the car ? |
