    My e30 died for me today.... Rip

    I'm typing this from my hospital bed guys....
    So this morning I was driving on a road I take every day when my hand pushes down the auto tragic lever and I downshift to first, I moved it back to drive (or third I can't remember) but my very bald tires caused me to start sliding, I over corrected too much and rolled down a 50ft embankment. The car rolled about 6 times and I landed sideways. I unbuckled my seatbelt fell on my window then climbed out the windshield. I went back for my phone with major pain in my back and head only to find I have no signal. I climbed up the 50 foot slope to see someone next to my car at the ranch that I landed in., the man helped me and got me to clinic and from there I was transported by ambulance to the er. After a couple hours of tests, X-rays, and cat scans I'm finally in my room and the only news is multiple fractures to my spine and head trauma. The e30 is gone but the car rolled 6 TIMES! The sheriff said he was expecting a piece of aluminum the size of a motorcycle whit no chance in hell the driver survived. I started crying for the first time right after the gave me my first round of morphine, they asked me if I was in pain, I told them I had just lost my e30....
    Turns out the doctor who was helping me a has a 318is! Small world! I'm pretty sure I'm out of the woods about dying but we'll see what happens

      Glad you survived!

      Obligatory r3v comment: I need a passenger side window regulator, how bad was the damage to the right side?

                I'm really proud of her, they gave me my phone after I was stable and the first thing I did was look at e30's for sale

                    Are you tall? How much do you weigh?
                    I'm no expert and realize anything can happen, but damn.. multiple fractures on your spine!??

                    Car looks like it was nice too. GL with your recovery.

                        Trina, I hope you have a speedy recovery. You really should stop driving e30s. Even ones with automatic transmissions are too much for you to handle.
