Glad you're Ok. After my full-left-side accident in 2010 I was able to drive it away (to the body shop) and I am still amazed my wife and I had no injuries of any kind. The van at fault and a second SUV were towed and one driver went to hospital. Amazing cars.

yeah wow glad you're good to go -- also curious what your tires were like.. low on tread or what or was speed really the issue with the wetness and tires didn't matter as much.

omfg man. you know i feel your pain. i got t-boned and had my 545i totaled last fall. it hurts to see your baby down like that...even when you escape with good health its a horrible feeling of loss.

above all think of how many people who have driven lesser cars and died in such an accident. you are truly lucky.




.......now its time for a new mod. i would highly suggest the S85 retrofit mod like i did after my accident!
(too soon?)

That sucks! Glad to hear you walked away safe. Hopefully the aches don't show up a day later.
