    Default Another 535i eats it.

    This is what happens when an unlicenced driver loses control, crosses the centreline and collects your pride and joy at speed. His Corolla hit me side on and now looks like a letter 'C', his two passengers on that side are cabbages.

    In loving memory of a faithful servant. So long, E34.

    oh man i'm sorry. I hate hearing about all these cars being wrecked. My pristeine 88 325is was wrecked last november becuase a guy in a new A8 made a left turn in front of me...talk about sucking.



    At least the e30 hit his car hard enough that they totaled the Audi too ;-)

    The amazing thing was I walked away with a sore neck (hit the top of the headrest) and some seatbelt bruising. The occupants of the other car are not too good. Sold my MX5/Miata the day after..

    On the positive, I'd just dropped 8k on the car upgrading the head and suspension. My insurance company sold me the wreck for $1000 and I'm transferring everything to my new E34 very soon. (Engine, 5-speed, ECU, M-Tech suspension and anything else I can find).

    On the very positive, I also bought an E39 AC Schnitzer S5 because I'm happy to be alive. This thing is a monster compared to the 535, but stry doesn't handle nearly as well?

    Damn, I'd just gone out to get Pizzas too. Life was good, sunroof tilted, warm night, wind in my hair, nice accelleration out of the corner, lights towards me out of control, bang.

    No airbags in this model, so no nasty explosions. Hope the others pull through too, they are far too young... They both had bad head injuries - they were sitting on the side that was t-boned. Not to mention shattered pelvis, legs. Horrible.
