I actually saw video clips from the crash scene on the local news this morning. It was a E90, not an M5.

Am I seeing two different grey BMWs in one of those pics? Its's kind of hard to tell.

looks like an e90 was also involved. But the video in the ktla5 link shows the front end of the M5 smashed up, you'll get a good look at the 166 wheels and front fender vents

Actually, you're right. I wasn't watching the news that closely this morning.

Truly a tragedy...

The M5 driver, if indeed drunk, is an idiot, plain and simple. If he wasn't drinking, I still think he's an idiot.

I wonder if the guy was anyone from this board or M5board? I also wonder if the E90 that was involved was an innocent victim or it there was some sort of testosterone induced BMW racing going on? If so, then there are at least two idiots here!
(Not trying to start any rumors here, just wondering...)

The M5 driving should be in jail and banded for driving and banded form buying any BMW again. :thumbsdown:
