## Narrative
On the morning of November 2, 2025, around 10:30, I had drove up to the church, parked my car. What I thought was an overheated engine. I decided to go inside the church and deal with what I thought was an overheated engine.   About 12-25 minutes later, while inside the church, I got new that a Black BMW was on fire. Someone  had already called the fire department and police.  The engine is totally destroyed, and beyond repair. It is more likely than not the faulty water pump is the causation of the fire. I had no previous maintenance issues with the car.   I had not received any notification of a recall, nor was I aware prior to November 2, 2025.
