Yeah, I was going 120 km/h on the fast lane and the lane was empty and out of nowhere, without indications I see this white crown Victoria in front of me and the airbag came out, after that it was all blurry and can't remember anything until the cops carried me out of the car, they said I was in a coma for about 10 mins from the impact of the airbag and the accident and the car was full of smoke from the airbags

It wouldn't be an accident thread is no one mentions:
That'll buff right out.
All kidding aside. Your 5er suffered an honorable death, doing what is was supposed to do....protecting it's occupant. Glad to hear everyone was OK.

I've been in an accident where I spun out of control on a busy highway in the rain. I totaled my car and yet miraculously walked away without a scratch. Airbags are LIFE SAVERS.
I'm glad to hear nobody was seriously injured.

Having been in a high speed crash myself, I feel your pain.
Hope you have no long term injury problems.
If the car can run with no obvious engine damage it may be fixable. Fenders, bumpers and hoods are all easily replaced with no body work involved other than bolt on parts. Airbags are a different story but everything may be easy to fix. Good luck with repairs or a new replacement.
Keep us posted.
