Damn that sucks. Not really sure if this changes my opinion about BMW's, heard about this stuff happening to all types of cars. Regardless, good thing you got to it in time, and a big thumbs up to you for taking action... my neighbors would have probably just watched our house go down in flames.

Re: BMW's suck ***! ***pics***
i can promise you BMW knows of the defect that causes this (whatever it is) but the sales vs incidents is so low they wont do a recall. I say buy one they sue them for knowingly putting your life in danger.
Its probably something stupid too like a over rated fuse of poor electrical connection.
aaron, good job on the save! I remember that x5 @ the meet, that thing sounded bad ***

my buddies dad has an X5. it has gone through 2 engines, had one rebuilt twice. it has every light on the dash on (abs, air bag, etc..), the tranny grinds and it must be double clutched when downshifting. along with that is spontaneously leaks oil and blows a few valve cover gaskets.
its a tough ole bird though - he is trading it in, some dealership is willing to give him 8k for it. he is just hoping that while the car that he is buying is on order that the X5 still works when he takes it in.
