lol about the bumper the cost, BMW06 you are right. I will have to buy new shocks, right suspention and new rim all this will be around $5000 in my friend's dad garage, instead of paying in the actual BMW dealership $12k. Leons Autobody, the best mechanic in Toronto.
my guess
no more insurance after that claim

he said he ran into a pole correct?
then why is there no significant damage on the passenger bumper. Albeit the bottom is scuffed but the top area (where pdc is at) should be damaged.
My Theory: He was high (that's a given), driving at a high rate of speed through a residential community (that's a given), lost control being an idiot (the idiot part's a given) drove into a curb (causing the bottom of the bumper damage and pushing the wheel back (forcing the wheel well to get pushed in), then once he came back onto the road, he jerked the car off the curb (coming down, the wheel got the rash) and hit something on the drivers side.

How does one hit a "pole" and yet have very little VISIBLE front end damage? Answer: They don't!!!! Not to relive bad memories for a friend, but anyone else remember the pics of DBae's car when it DID, in fact, hit a pole? There was a lot of front end damage.

I was thinking the EXACT SAME THING!!!!!! How does one hit a "pole" and yet have very little VISIBLE front end damage? Answer: They don't!!!!

Then he realized that his car didn't fit, so he drove down off the curb, and while doing so hit the Rolls that Michael Jackson and Notorious B.I.G. were in. This is how he damaged the M5 he does not deserve.

There was a lot of front end damage.The alleged version of the accident reminds me of when a friend of mine, in high school, totaled his brand new Jeep with 3 girls in it. His official story was that he swerved to avoid hitting a squirrel. He admitted to me that that story was BS and that he was fishtailing his Jeep (a really stupid thing to do in a short wheelbase vehicle with no skid control -- it was in 1989) to show off to his passengers and lost control. This has exactly the same feel to it.
But whatever the accident's true cause I just hope that it has scared bmw550ifreak straight. I fear that he may end up being the AmericanM5 of this board.

Now we await is explanation.

Then he realized that his car didn't fit, so he drove down off the curb, and while doing so hit the Rolls that Michael Jackson and Notorious B.I.G. were in.

This is EXACTLY why I moved to blast him the EF off when he posted that other thread that got deleted...
