Angry BMW X3 on fire

My BMW X3 2009 model caught on fire when parked in the parking lot before my office. Did anyone experience the same? I parked my BMW morning at 9AM and went into office. At 2PM, I got a call from police that my car is on fire. I don't know what caused it. but definitely it is problem with BMW.

If anyone had similar experience please share...

Just the other day I was woken up by the police knocking on my door at 2 am. My x3 was totally engulfed in flames. My car was parked in my 2 car driveway next to my husband's car. As we fled the house, worried it to was going to catch on fire as well, my husbands car caught on fire. The car had been parked for 15 hours. How does this happen? The poice are investigating this and reviewing the neighbors, surveillance cameras. As of now,the cause unknown. My thoughts are - stray firework? electrical problem? or arson?

So what was the cause...???

Did you ever find out why your car caught on fire?
