GG, hope you don't mind me taking this thread slightly off course here with different version of beauty, but not necessarily eye candy.

My friend Zach and his SO were involved in a 17 car pile up (including semi trucks).

They were in a 95 (I think) 318is, which did what it was advertised to do in a collision - the cabin is pretty much intact while the front and rear absorbed the energy. It's amazing that, in light of the E36s' rep for poor build quality, both ABs deployed after almost twenty years. While they did sustain injuries, by God's grace they survived.

I have a new respect for the E36.

Holy shit! Pass side looks pretty crushed. Hope they are okay.

I've made the jump to e36's in the last few years. No regrets. Bought a 97 328is with low miles two years back. I have an H&R cup kit and m double spokes ready for summer. Pics to come once it stops being -30 degrees.

Got nothing but love and respect for e36

The SO was airlifted to an area hospital, and in a wheelchair months afterward; she has a lot of metal in her legs and ankles now. My buddy was taken away in an ambulance and back on his feet in a few days. You can guess who was in the pass seat.

Is that a body laying behind the car in the third photo? If so, he is probably dead... shoes came off..

Actually, that is the SO. Zach pulled her out of the car and let her rest on a blanket. It took more than an hour for first responders to arrive on scene (they were on the I40 somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

Thats horrible, Im glad they are alright. Seems like a strange time to take some photos though.. :???:

Rip my first e36m

E36m@ 5 mph got T boned by a chevy s10 at about 30mph.

Strong chassis; dunno if a e30 would have been strong enough for me to walk out of.
