Pay and fix it. Or, cut your loses and part it/sell it anyways.

I'm a commercial insurance broker for the States of New York & Ohio. Not sure about California but at that point if they deny it you need to get your own car insurance company involved. Actually you should have done that right away, considering I understand the chain of events properly. Its called Subrogation, the insurance company just takes care of things for you. People like to avoid this because they dont want the insurance company involved, but they won't respect you alone. The insurance company just takes care of it & settles up with you. You need to call them & tell them what happened.

Did the shop call the local Fire Dept?

Actually, now that I read your description of what happened again, since it was in the possession of a shop representative at the time, they seem to be on the hook for the fire. If I were you, I wouldn't even deal with that shops insurance company, I would just call my car insurance company & let them deal with it.

Poor, unfortunate pugads650. He took his E55 to a garage for "a new supercharger bearing belt and miss fire [sic] issue." It was misfiring, all right - starting in the passenger-side footwell.

The blaze, which "happened while the shop was test driving" the German juggernaut, continued up through the dashboard and into the engine bay. According to our hapless forum member, "The car is dead."

However, hope is very much alive in other followers of the MBWorld boards. They've already started requesting pieces from pugads650's tear-down of his once-super sedan.

Read the rest on the MBWorld homepage.

Behind passenger foot well are the main power cables. They are very well protected from factory. Also the tcu is there along with a few other modules.

How much are you thinking about for the brakes?

Sorry to hear.

Whenever you hear back and are ready to sell some things I'd be willing to cruise down and snag some parts off you.
