      A man in France has been arrested after eventually ending his hostage stand-off at a BMW dealer. The 50 year old man was apparently angry at repeated problems with his car. He took a shotgun, barged into the dealership, and took a hostage in protest. He even started a fire in the dealership which apparently did not do any damage. This was not the first time the man had protested issues with his BMW, he had apparently previously attempted to light himself on fire outside the dealership. We are happy to report that no one was injured in this insanity. Get those high pressure fuel pump issues fixed BMW, you may be driving people crazy.

        I wish I was there to see him try and catch himself on fire. I wonder if he threw a Molotov cocktail inside the building. Someone should of got this on video, there had to of been a capable phone!

        I guess they were too concerned about dying....

        would be great if he asked the dealer to pop every hood and he shot each BMW that had an N54...
