Well, A nice lady decided to swerve into my lane on a 60mph+ 2 lane road. She suddenly came into my lane with no warning whatsoever to merge onto an adjacent side road. I had no chance to do anything. I came out with 2 sprained ankles and a myriad of bruises. my Gf who was on pass side got a harder lick than I. She really took a beating, had to have two knee surgeries on her right knee and will be in phys. therapy for at least 3 months. Were both alive though, both had seatbelts on and both airbags deployed. Will miss that 5er tho, what a great car. I know it saved out lives. Ill def have another, am a bit tempeted to go E39 540i/6. Would love another nice e34 too tho, just jard to find em like my baby was. One of the nicest in Ga without a doubt.

Gah lee, I am so sorry to see that. Glad to see more lives saved by a truly tough car though. That must have been a horrendous hit.

God bless the e34

Thats horrible. Glad to hear you made it ok. Hope things look up for you in the future.

I want to see the other car. Unless it was a 60s american muscle car made before they knew what crumple zones did, there probably isnt much left of it.

It was an 03' Mercedes C320. I dont have any pics of it at this time, but I will get some posted. It doesn't look quite as bad as you'd expect. They got more of a side impact as all mine was concentrated in the front.

that is terrible, one thing I have noticed in these severe e34 crashes is people seem to get injured rather badly. Sorry to hear about your gf
