e92 totaled

e92 2007 rip · 10-20-2008, 10:12 PM

This is what some asshole on the 5 freeway managed as he was doing 80-90 mph trying to keep up in a ford f-250. I was a distance ahead of him when traffic came to a sudden stop ahead of me. I stopped with plenty of room ahead of me but dickhead in the Ford apparently wasnt paying attention. When the highway patrol showed, I was lucky a few witnesses stuck around because the only skid marks were my own which made me look partially at fault but witnesses confirmed I was at a complete stop with plenty of room between me and the car in front of me which was also totaled.

Considering being hit by a truck moving at approx 90 mph and not even tapping his breaks, the e92 held up pretty well. I know if I were in any other car I wouldnt be walking or possibly breathing. With the exception of a few broken teeth from the steering wheel and banged up back, which I dont think will be permenant, I consider myself pretty lucky and know that I will not drive anything other than a BMW. I may have to wait though until I receive a settlement to lease or buy a new one due to being out of work for a bit and getting a few 30 days lates on my credit report.

Does anyone know how to manipulate BMW into overlooking credit blemishes caused by an accident when they obviously can confirm dates etc.? I never missed a payment with BMWFS.

Thanks!

Spool · 10-20-2008, 10:44 PM

Got pics of the Ford too? Damn i doubt he was doing 90, that looks like a 50mph crash from a truck...90MPH you'd be pancaked, lot of force coming from that 3 ton beast

tjnptel1 · 10-20-2008, 10:52 PM

fuck man, sorry to hear. M3 now or 09 335i?

TheLegend · 10-20-2008, 10:55 PM

def go to a pain management specialist and get an mri of your spine, whip lash has its ways of creeping up on you, and when you get that settlement check you better make sure it covers all your medical bills.

ah gon · 10-20-2008, 11:29 PM

can u let me know where r this car goes to.coz, i want to buy the 335i parking brake system.

longtran · 10-20-2008, 11:34 PM

at least you guys get to see how the e92 rear looks like with clear taillights.

runthis · 10-20-2008, 11:39 PM

Were you wearing your seat belt? I just know when I hit that building the seat belt was uber tight! kept me in my place as I didn't hit the airbag..

I'm glad your alright, from a fellow totalled e92'r they are definitely safe ass cars! I hit a fire hydrant, a building, and through a fence. Walked away, only in a BMW.

im spencer · 10-20-2008, 11:44 PM

Screw that guy in the truck, bastard was lucky he hit you. He could have easily hit someone else in some beater tin can and killed that driver. Im glad you made it out alright despite the few battle scars you received I still cant believe how good that car still looks after 90mph. Any pics of the truck?

simp0man · 10-20-2008, 11:56 PM

Sorry to hear, at least you will get a new ride. Right?

zsapphire7 · 10-21-2008, 12:03 AM

yea hows the glass? i wanna buy the side and moonroof heh..

AV9 · 10-21-2008, 12:12 AM

fuck man...glad to hear you're ok!

cliverman · 10-21-2008, 12:14 AM

Wow! Glad you're alright. I hope you didn't have your clubs in the trunk!
I'd be pissed that would have scratched my Launcher!

Seriously, BMWs are made to protect. I totaled my 330 a few years ago and didn't even have a scratch.

Bimmer Nerd · 10-21-2008, 12:38 AM

ugh, that WAS bad news just before my birthday !!! ugh that hurt my feelings man.

Universal_Magnetic · 10-21-2008, 01:09 AM
