Will be on ebay soon...

I can't even tell what model it was. That may be the most devastation I've seen in a crash.

Even the best of engineering can't compensate for stupidity ... these kids must have thought themselves invincible. I can't imagine who in their right mind would intentionally turn such a powerful car over to irresponsible children.

Speaking as a parent.....I'd say it was also the fault of irresposible parents. Every time I think perhaps I'm being TOO strict with my kids there is always some story or incident that reassures me that you can never really BE too strict. I'd rather be safe than sorry....or worse have to endure tragedy such as this.

I came across this auction for a wrecked (understatement) M5. Check out the total devastation of this 2008 M5. I can't get over the picture of the passenger side rear wheel, its unbelievable!

Its being offered as a wreck salvage, but theres not too much that seems pristine on this horror show.

I would use dentmaster smart paintless dent removal on my rolled M5 They were wonderful. I think they could do a job on this one. Those hooky tools they use to pull the bodywork into shepe will have it looking brand new in no time
