My Ride: BMW 545iA Black Sapphire
Model Year: 2005
Engine: 545i
Glad no-one is hurt. Same thing happened to a friend of mine in a Boxter. Aquaplanning, sudden loss of control. Hit the side barrier, not hurt but considerable damage to the car. I have yet to experience aquaplanning in the E60 even on the summer tires with heavy rain...

I am gald you all are ok, sell that ... it was sign, laugh or not it can happen again and then what if you have less luck
My friend did 260km/h with a bike and wind lift him up like 5-10 cm and pushed it back he survived and stopped, he was non-smoker but he smoked two packs from a friend and next day the speeder was sold. He only rides now touring bikes
My best friend was a damn passanger in a 911 in the 80"s and there was a chance that a race driver took him on a ride, then they overtook with 160km/h in the city on the right, and my 190cm tall friend died, his coffin was max, 1,6m. So Porsche is fun but all should now how to drive it, how to behaive in a heavy rain.
Our 5er is one of the best!
