My 535i off went of a cliff
To sum it up...was a bad rainy day on the way home tonight only 2 miles away from my house, hit a slick road only doin 35mph with a posted limit of 45mph. Very bad ravine on right side of the road with no guard rail or any shoulder at all. Hydroplaned for about 30-40ft then a curve came up and the car just kept going straight with no control at all and off into a 20ft drop. Actually the car is in extraordinarily good shape for what it experienced. Front frame may be bent; front left quarter panel shifted back behind driver's door and only opens about a foot now and what I consider minimal damage to the front. These were the only pictures I could manage as I had a lot of work to do: talk to emergency squad, call tow truck, direct traffic, etc. I will get more pics and info on the car tomorrow b/c the body shop is closed.

They were BF Goodrich Traction T/A haha, fabulous tires. They just exceeded their life and wore them out, I had actually planned to get new tires next week. Not soon enough I guess

Ouch, sorry to hear the news.
Did she manage to save you from a serious bruising?
I hope she comes out well and you can sort out the drama. Let us know how the prognosis goes... can she recover? How are her door gaps looking?
