Description of the problem	I was driving about 10 mph in traffic on friday, oct. 31, 2008, at 5 p. M., in houston,when my 2006 bmw 325i began smoking in the passenger compartment and burst into flames by the time i got it parked. I first noticed the air conditioner was not functioning properly and then smoke immediately began filling the car. The car was totaled by the time the hfd arrived. The car was in good condition and had no recent service or problems. It had no previous electrical problems. The ac just began blowing warm air, and smoke started pouring into the compartment from above and below the dashboard - not from the ac. The car was running fine until it burst into flames. It had to be a mechanical defect or an electrical short of some kind.
