What if my mom had been going much faster....she wouldn't be here right now and whose fault would that be? Of course the responsability is the drivers, but if the safety features aren't working, WHY THE HELL PAY 65k for that crap??? I could pay 20k, get a civic, and never have to worry about that crap happening. Think you guys understand how frustrated I am.
You should worry if your mom was driving a civic

sorry to hear that
but your mom's safety is the most important, car can fix or replace
but how come lincole looks fine and 5 series almost total?
when i took off the bumper on my 330, there is a big metal bar across the front, not sure about 5 series
but i think the front is the strongest part of the car, no?

So as most and probably all of you guys know.....I am 18. My parents got a 535i and I am the one who drives it the most and mods it. Today, my mom decided to take it to work....on the way home....she got a massive cramp in her leg and grabbed it with her right hand. While this happened, the person in front of her hit the brakes hard, and in stop and go traffic at around 15 mph, my mom wanted to do the same but her foot slipped and hit the accelerator and went into the Lincoln Navigator at around 45-50. Low and behold, the Lincoln looks fine, but mine does not.....AT ALLL!!!!!! I thank god that my mom came out w/o a scratch, but the car didnt. From here it looks as though it's totalled, but family friends say, it looks fixable. So time will tell. I have been getting a lot of support from friends and family not only because my mom came out of it ok, but also because everyone knows how much I love and adore that 5er. I will keep you posted and will post pics tomorrow on this thread.
Sincerely,
Jay

wow sorry for this incident..
yes post pictures and we can tell you... did airbag deployed??? most cases you can fix it and they are not going to total the car such as 535i easily unless there is a frame damage... if it is just hood and bumper they will get new one and fix them.... is car still running?
