I LOVE THIS CAR!!!
(WAAAAAYYYYY better than my previous MB E350, but quite a bit more expensive :( )
Everyone says she's gonna be ok, but it saddens me to see her like this......
Over $430 in mods
If she is ok, the only thing I will have to replace are the Matte Black Grilles.....I hope....

Sucks dude. If I wreck my 535, I would want to go with it. Wouldn't wanna see the damage and definitely don't wanna see my dad afterwards. Still, doesn't look like it was a 50mph crash....which is a good thing.

That sucks bro. Glad nobody was hurt. Does that still have a clean carfax? I would really like to know if this carfax stuff really works I figure since everyone uses carfax these days, even a minor fender bender could affect one's ability to sell a perfectly capable car.

The E60 did an awesome job of crumpling exactly as designed and shielding the passenger compartment from damage. But from the looks, the car's speed at the moment of impact was, thank heavens, much slower than 50 mph.
