This one happened in Taiwan. The M5 was driven by some pressmen. Fortunately the driver and passengers walked away with only slight injuries.

This hurts my eyes.. what a waist..
I'm very glad the driver and passengers were okay.. This shows the E60 is an incredible performing car when it crashes..

Couple thing.
1. The car was not being driven by the press (in this case Taiwan Motor).
2. The driver was the E55 owner that brought in his E55 for the shoot out.
I guess this just goes to show you that typical E55 driver is not experienced/mature enough to handle a car like M5.
BTW, the car is not new either. It already has 5,000 km on it.

My Ride: E46 320i, M3 paddle shift, Sat Nav
From the looks of it it turned turtle, skidded on the asphalt, hit the kerb on the side fender, airbags blew, glass broke, smoke and hit the tree to a stop.
