On my way home from work just driving straight down a main street four blocks for my house and to my left. I see this blue chevy sububan coming out of a residential neighbor hood. I tried to swerve but it was already to late. I ended up in the one lane from the one i was traveling in. 530i vs chevy suburban you can see who won that battle...
Hey off topic but I am considering the EuroRev ECU flash. Any advise?
thanks

So who won the battle??
When I was in highschool, I got jumped by a couple of guys and came to school with a black eye and cuts on my face. The teacher looks at me and said "wow, hate to see what the other guys must look like. You probably kicked their asses huh?" LOL!!!
Show us a pic of the Suburban. I'm pretty sure it's mangled and totaled.

looks like its just body shell work, you're getting two new doors (skins), rear view, a fender and maybe a side skirt... doesnt seem like it went in enough for the firewall to be damaged but if it is it couldnt probably be straightened out cause it would just be the edge... i doubt they'll total loss that car for just that.
make sure you take it to a GOOD shop for paint. last thing you want is your car to be two different shades of black. make sure you ask them to check your rims for warping... sometimes it doesnt take much to damage them.
so who got the ticket? hopefully not you.
goodluck and post updates,

thanks everyone
Well i am ok. Talked to insurance they are sending some one out to appraise it. It was not my fault the lady pulled out and just didnt see me to it was too late. The suburban was only missing grill and lights. I will get better pics soon. I was lloking at the gap between the front fender and door and noticed that where the hindges are is pushed in real far.was trying to find pics of the e60 chassis to see if it is the frame. My dash board is also pushed in too. not to much. does anyone have any insight on this.
On the other hand the EUROREV REMAP was worth it. On the way home right after you can tell it waas a different car on the freeway.
Been looking at 535 or 550. I will wait and see............
