Just 2 red wires coming off the Positive terminal. He said it was all standard but a few people reckon he had sounds in it. Who knows.
He was just sitting there and we were parked behind him talking, then noticed he was smoking a bit, took a look and that's where it all started.

Wasn't putting the water on the electrics, it was to soak the carpet, didn't work though 
He said he'd had it 3 years with no problems.
Thanks Gav

there was a red astra parked next to me dodgy so i had to do the same
he didn't even have breakdown cover and on my way home i saw loads of police heading towards it, must have cost him a fair bit to get it recovered

Nothing - all that is is a 1k mile oil change.
It was a joke. I've become known for MPG and the M3 running in service because I always go on about it when someone mentions M3s! BMW won't honour the warranty if it hasn't been done!
