VIDEO: Woman watches via Facebook as her BMW goes up in flames

A car owner who dropped off her prized BMW at a garage to be fixed was left stunned when she found out it had burst into flames – by logging on to Facebook.

Thushanthi Rajah , 35, only came across a video of her wrecked £37,000 vehicle on fire when she went onto the social networking site to check her messages.

She had taken the car to a vehicle repair shop after it had an issue with a filter earlier this month.

But when the motor was taken for a test drive after being fixed thick bloke smoke started billowing from the air vents before it caught fire.
