My e34 is no more :(
A couple of weeks ago I was in a car accident in southern California while driving my 525i. An old lady decided to pull a U-turn on red so I ran right into her, head on. SHe and her insurance claimed full liability, so at least I ended up getting something out of it ($6100). But I'm now in a hunt for a new car. I dont think i'll be buying another e34 right now, even though they're within the price range, mainly due to the expensive maintenance (I'm still in college).
Check out the pics

Oh dude, that is a bad wreck. I assume you have an airbag in that puppy, and it did its job???? Any personal ill-effects?
BTW, thanks for the website (it was you that set us up right?)
OOOops, just noticed the green coolant, tisk tisk

Thats a nasty pic. You slap that bitch in the face? I'd kill someone.
Are you still sticking to the BMW family?

i dont think I'll be sticking to the bmw, not for right now at least. I dont think it's a smart move with the maintenance costs even on basic maintenance while I'm still in college. Though I only have 1 year left..
And yep, the airbag deployed (that was the "coolest" thing about the whole crash). The lady that I hit was really freaked out, but at least she volunatirly gave up her driving privelages for good after the crash (she was about 80 years old).
Oh and yeh I helped Ed set up this forum originally. I convinced him and everyone else to switch from the old format to something more 'modern' and the forum has been going strong ever since.
anyone in Souther California selling a car by any chance?
