aenima 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 Hi all, just wanting to know if my bmw has pulled a biggie on me. Today I'm driving along and out of nowhere I hear loud noise come from the engine, I look in my rear view mirror and see all this smoke. I pull over and open my bonnet and see snapped belt all intwigned around my alternator, fan etc. Not sure if it was wise but I very cautiously limped home with about 2 kms to go. My battery started to drain and the light came on (alternator busted), I had no power steering, and also my car started to overheat. Is this going to be a major to get fixed?
