When the fire department assigned to BMW's plant in South Carolina spotted a 55-gallon drum behind a vehicle in Lot D, they did what everybody does nowadays: they assumed it was a "chloride granulated bomb". The area was cleared and BMW temporarily suspended production of the X3, X4, X5, and X6, an action that was immediately applauded by Roundel magazine, the BMWCCA E30 M3 Special Interest Group, and possibly Satch Carlson.
Turns out that the drum contained water-filtration chemicals.
Oops.
BMW has in the process of resuming full production, which will come as a great relief to everyone who's been waiting for their X4 to be completed.
