My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.
Sorry about the car, but at least you walked away with little damage. Car can be replaced but you can't 
But if you can make it out of that alive, I feel better about driving my car knowing that it is THAT safe. Good luck with your future car.

LOL I don't get it the safety part....
I rolled a 77 datsun station wagon due to a rear wheel blowout.. ROLLED the car at least 5 times into a ditch, no seat belt on, windows rolled down, no air bags, just a peice of steel and me and I walked out of it with a few scratches..
I've totaled every car I've owned between the mid 80s to mid 90s and came out of the accident scratch free from a 1980's nissan, 1989 Ford Mustang, 1992 Mazda MX3.
Considering these are older cars with probably lesser safety features crumple zone, air bags, etc.
