Blessed with good luck yesterday after my E60 aquaplaned across all 3 motorway lanes, onto a hard sholder, up and embankment and hit a tree headon @ 50-60mph. Got out with just whiplash and a grazed knee (where brake pedal kicked back on hitting tree) and very shaken.
Be glad youre driving such a safe car and hope you never need all its safety features.

OMFG! You are very lucky to be alive. Your E60 saved your life.
Your crash is why I grandma the car in the wet. My wet road driving style is nothing at all like my dry road driving style.

Glad you walked away ok. The car seems to take all the beating. One of the back wheels actually came off, I'd say your car is a total loss in terms of damages and insurance. Hope you recover soon

Glad you're ok Dubbers....also glad that you managed to avoid other cars by the looks of it. Hope your insurance company is sensible with the payout.
It's a great British summer we're having ;-)
