...you are the 6th fire I have read about in the last month or two on the boards....3 E46s, 3 X5s, and now 1 M5. All apparently have been related to a faulty aux fan. BMW is issuing a recall, but not everyone has been notified yet.

Honestly, if I were you, I would insist on a new car. Even though the damage can be fixed, you will probably be left with at least a repainted hood--heat like that against the inside of your hood isn't good for it. If I had just bought a new M5, I would want a perfect one, not one that had had a small engine fire.
