Ruh Roh! Any idea what happened?
Just that it was an electrical fire and spread through the main harness. You can see on the A pillar the soot from the harness burning where it goes in the cabin. Looked like it started in the headlight. We were actually in the store when it started. The police department called for us over the store PA. The fire was out by the time we saw it.
Sorry not a great picture. This scrub jay was coming up to the suet feeder all last winter. I was amazed with his broken beak it had survived the winter. Well, obviously he has survived this summer too. I had set the suet feeders out for fall and winter yesterday. Just now I saw him feeding away. I find it cool and heartwarming. The cool factor is he`s not just another bird. It`s kind of like seeing a friend, because you can pick him out from all the others he`s unique. It`s heartwarming because you know he has survived another year even with a broken beak.

Coleroad- Hey, that *is* heartwarming! Thanks for posting it.
Yeah, sure looks like it started in the headlight. Doing a little poking around, there is a wire to the headlight with constant power. They`re known to have the insulation crack on the wiring inside the headlight, so maybe that allowed a short; also have seen the headlight modules collect water and cause problems.
Either way, definitely a bummer. 128, right? Nice little cars. Hopefully I`m not gonna end up putting my foot in my mouth, but I`d take one over a 135 pretty much any day.
Yes a 128i, it had the 3.0 six in it. Wasn`t a fast car (230hp), but sure was fun to drive. I had upgraded both sway bars. Solid rear cradle bushes. Koni yellows, with drop springs. The lighter factory 16" wheels. My wife wants another one. I still haven`t gotten over the loss of my work in it to buy another one.
Nice.
As a tech, I prefer the reliability that comes with the NA car for that generation. The N54`s (The twin turbo straight 6) it seems nearly inevitable that they`ll need turbos before 150k. The N55`s (Single turbo) have their own headaches. I do think a lot of it has to do with their terrible recommended maintenance schedules, but even well cared for there`s still no guarantee.
That motor`s a good fit (power wise) for the size of the 1. Haven`t spent a ton of time in the 2`s yet. I`m also only doing test drives to verify complaints and after for repairs, so it`s not like I`m out clover-leaf`n and checking their behavior at the limits.
