Thumbs down

Well after driving my e60 for over 4 years and never been involved in an accident till Saturday. Here's the story I was hit by a young female driver who was going the wrong way down a one way street and blew thru an intersection at speeds of at least 60+mph. SHe nailed the back passenger tire and spun me around in circles.
She was cited with 3 tickets and now i wait to hear the outcome of the repairs......

glad you're ok - sucks for your car, but it could've been much worse. Getting hit at 60mph and you walking out of it is the most important thing. A car is just a car, it can either be fixed or replaced, your life can't.
Not to kick you while your down, but from the pics it seems there might be some frame damage in the front (correct me if i'm wrong), if that's the case i would start shopping for a new ride if i was you

Sorry to hear that, I hope everyone is ok. At the end of the day you can replace a car, i know its no comfort but at least it wasnt your fault.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

that was the worst part was watching it unfold with no way to avoid it. I sped up to try and avoid her, but when i hit the gas is when she hit me... She was traveling too Fing fast...
