From the rims and profile, X1 3cylinder model

It's a few months old BMW X1. 

First hand encounter from owner - fuse replacement at authorised agent, Performance Motors led to the fire.

When i was a boy staying in village last time,  i remember  seeing electrician using steel wire  to replace  blown fuse as a temporary workaround.😅😅

My mechanic says so too. But to have the authorised distributor, Performance Motors make such a big boo boo is unimaginable.

At least owner said it is under warranty with no mod.

The owner claims OD.  After that, subrogate the claim to the insurer.

Wash hand from there.

IMHO.
Take it as a wire fuse.  Just that the "fuse" will be slower to react.

That means it depends on what will burn first. In an extreme   case, a fuse might still be there after a whole car is burnt doen😅
