heheh
i saw this on another bmw board that im on

Hello all,

On starting my 1989 525i today there was an extremely loud bang from the back of my vehicle.

I believe that the vehicle suffers from over-fuelling during startup and I think a sufficient amount of fuel found its way into the rear muffler, causing quite a nasty explosion when it ignited.

As the pictures below show the muffler casing has exploded outwards causing significant damage to the bumper!
