Wasn't paying attention on the way home from work (got off early to enjoy the weather)
had the top down, music cranked and ran into a stopped E60 that wanted to turn left.

Wasn't the first, and prob. not the last accident.

My Friends E34.



He was working with another friend at a restaurant late at night setting up a Computer Network. They got into a fight about dumb drama and shit, one friend leaves, this freind goes to the bar, gets drunk. Leaves restaurant , smashes gate and pole on way out(owner found license plate and headlights, and a trail of coolant), ended up a few miles down the narrow two lane road.

He walked away from this accident with only a bruise on his head.

It's RHD.


I almost put my first E30 into a curb. Driving after a fresh rain with balding good knows how old shitty tires, coming around a left hand sweeper the back end came loose and I tried to be cool and slide the corner...lost the back end, then locked up the brakes (lol). Did a 180* skid into the other lane and almost "backed" into the curb (rear wheel less than 1' from the curb).

Luckily it was early in the morning and no one was coming the other way, I wouldn't have tried to dorifto if there had been someone coming btw. I had just gotten my license a few months earlier, hadn't been driving the E30 for very long.

It would have been a fucking textbook r3v. Almost a cliche...was a rusty, beat '84 325e. Good times.

Tree + 160km/h = (see below)

wow i hope that was a european version cause that tree looks like it would've been 1 foot to your right in the car if it wasn't.

So that's what the inside of an E30 dashboard looks like. Good to know, actually.

I posted these pics here a few years ago I think...






I spun out on the freeway from locking up the (all drum) brakes after someone decided to merge right in front of me with no signal. Got hit head-on by a Buick Rendevous while sliding backwards two lanes over. All I had was lap belts, so my upper body got thrown against the door hard enough to go through the panel and into the inner door bracing.

Managed to walk away with nothing but a huge bruise around my shoulder area; the lady who hit me got knocked out cold by her airbag.....when I ran up to her truck I seriously thought she was dead. I remember climbing into her truck trying to see if she was alright and there was someone talking through her stereo; it took me a minute to realize she had OnStar. ;)

Scary shit.....it was the first (and hopefully last) time I'd ever been in an accident. The asshole who cut me off never even stopped, even though I know he had to have seen and heard it.

glad your ok, hope I don't sound like too much of an asshole Saying I am really sad that Dart had to die that way.

[slaterd]

I do believe that counts

[325ix]

wow at that rate I'd have a piece of wood in my pocket just in case...hehe

I have a wooden shift knob to knock on!

[slaterd]

Worst accident I came close to was when I was 10 or so. The driver of a semi truck heading the opposite direction of us had a heart attack and passed out at the wheel. He come across the highway directly at the drivers side my dads Audi a4. My dad had the split second to go left or right, he dropped it down a gear and went right. Truck missed our rear quarter by a foot and slammed into a semi directly behind us. The cab on the truck behind us shot straight up into the air like an escape pod and landed down a hill.

3 people died. The two truck drivers and a third person in a car. Shrapnel went right though his windshield and busted his head open.

Don't think I have any pictures, but I was on tv haha.

this reminds me when I was little. It wasn't a car accident but it involved a truck. I was getting off the bus one day excited to get home. I was walking down the steps off my bus. One of my feet were on its way out of the bus when I heard my bus driver scream. It wasn't an authorative scream but a terrified one. While I was spinning to see what she was screaming about a small red Nissan truck came flying by on the DOOR side of the bus missing my foot by a foot. Instantly after the truck sped off my neighbor who was a cop saw everything, jumped into his cruiser, and pursued him. I believe he told my parents he was sentenced 10 years in prison for not stopping for a bus at a stop, child endangerment, speeding, reckless driving, running a stop sign, running from police, resisting arrest, and they got him on attempted man slaughter because he knew a child would be coming out of those doors but decided to go anyways. I don't know if those were all the charges but he got 10 yrs.
