  1. #1

    Default BMW saves lives.

    My mom was hit yesterday, when a 19 year old male, crossed the yellow line becuase he was "resting his eyes." just thought i would show you the pictures that prove bmw is a safe car. Pretty amazing, she is sure to get another bmw, she is looking at the 335 coupe.

    Amazing! The front of that car is completely compacted against the rock solid passenger compartment.
    My regards to your Mother. I hope she is well.

    Yikes!

    Looks like the pass side took the brunt, which suggests the guy was WAY over the line.

    yeah thank for your blessings, she is doing great a few cuts and bruses. She said she was traveling about 50mph (that was the last speed she saw) and the other guy was going also 50. So the force you can imagine was extreamly high!

    he was very far over the line, his car (a dodge minni van) was off the road oo maybe 30-50 feet. And her car was in her lane but facing the other direction, wow!
