I think with a little time and my power buffer, I could buff most those smudges off.

BMW will probably still sell it as a CPO.

On a more serious note, what if the engine had low oil or something crazy that the dealer did wrong on delivery? I don't think anyone would be worried about a potential fire at the start of a cars life. Also, do you guys think this might be due to the hybrid system? It could have shorted or something due to an improper install during build.

Hopefully no one go hurt. Sucks to see an X7 in such condition but there's thousands of them on the road and can be replaced. Can't replace family.

Yes hopefully everyone ok. That's what's most important. But definitely a shame on such a nice brand new X7.

There is a video someone shared mentioning that there has been a problem with a batch of defect Samsung battery used for the hybrid system causing engine fire, not sure if that includes the mild hybrid system in X7. Would love to hear what BMW response on this is and whether there is a recall. This is giving me anxiety with driving this vehicle.
