BMW catches fire during car meet in America

A classic BMW suffered a serious malfunction while travelling at 120mph – with the car's turbo exploding and bursting into flames.

The dramatic incident reportedly happened at Street Car Takeover Indy, a performance car enthusiast meet in Indianapolis. The owner of this particular BMW chose to take the car for a run at high speed, hoping to showcase the benefits of fitting a large turbocharger to a classic vehicle.
