needs alot of heat but.
if this was in ur Beamer race car then id expect it wuld have alot more heat on the headers than our cars.

or am i mixing u up with someone else lol

Beemer street car - 1990 M5. Happened to me 12 months ago - I was doing a track day at Winton and topped the oil up at the motel before heading out to the track. I was talking to someone as I put the oil cap back on - and didn't get both lugs in, so the oil cap was a bit loose and I didn't spot it. Drove a couple of k into town and started to lay a trail of smoke. Stopped, bonnet up - and the flames started to come out over the top of the headers. Blew it out with a couple of big puffs, much to the amusement of the onlookers. No damage done.

Mine is doing the same thing currently, it has been well over 12 months and I am actually going to fix it real soon with a recon'd rack (rack leaking onto cat).

Seems to smoke a fair bit and make some nasty smells sometimes when the car is stationary. I figure if you just keep moving the fire will put itself out
