Always carry one now,  had a engine bay wiring loom fire when a young lad of 17 with an old Triumph i had,

Puts the fear of God into you, the smell and smoke and the speed of it spreading is incredible.

Funny you say that, when I lived in Germany I once went running to the aid of a couple of German lads whose E30 had caught fire at a set of traffic lights. When they saw the fire extinguisher they chased me away. Quite funny in hindsight.

191604649015 This is the item number of that well known site. It's from BMW Direct shop and cost £26.51. It's dry powder which I'm sure you know is messy if you have to use it but better than watching as your X turns into ashes. Halon would be better but this will be a very neat fit solution. Plan to fit this weekend.
