Has anyone ever flipped an e30?

[whiltebeitel]

I spun mine on the freeway in the rain. Nearly bald Azenis, meet standing water on the edge of the road at 70 mph. I missed the cars around me, crossed 4 lanes, got off at the next exit, and promptly shit myself.


The "shit myself" part is for dramatic effect, but the rest was truth.

You can flip them allright, it just takes crappy driving and bad luck at the same time. :D.

crappy driving alone won't do the trick...

to add to what kevin posted earlier.....

yes they can flip, you can still see my for sale sticker in the window.

I had my stock eta sideways at 80 (broken front sway bar and all) and accidently hopped a curb and just missed a telephone pole. Wipped back the other direction in the mud and regained control. Diddnt even get on two wheels. Actually, I had my yoko paradas on then too.

Here are some pics of my buddy Stuart's cabrio after he rolled it doing about 75 on his way to Vegas. He walked away with scratched knuckles. That's him in the first pic. I was supposed to buy this car the next week so he could buy an Audi TT, which he (eventually) bought to replace this car.

^Hold on..That is a rolled vert? It was really rolled?

I actually feel good that our cars can keep their weight up.

I was in the passenger seat of Justin (Avus E30)'s old bimmer when we went end over end....yeah that was ghey. He was attempting a slide coming into my neighborhood and drove it into a ditch head first and the result was it flipped. as said before....ghey. I got a concussion from unbuckling my seat belt while hanging upside down and falling on my head...

He rolled his car coming into your neighborhood? I bet your neighbors were impressed...

I did it too. I was doing 70mph on bald tires in a downpour on a two lane country road (genius). The car hydroplaned and i over corrected, making the ass end swing out into an embankment where the rear wheels dug into the dirt flipping the car one time, landing neatly back on the wheels blocking both lanes of traffic.

Im happy with my reaction because if i would have under corrected or continued the trajectory, the car would have been in the bottom of a reservoir.

Another humorous detail is that the chassis flex that occurred, popped the windshield out when i was upside down, spilling all of the contents of my car onto the road (including my cell phone, about 20 dollars in change and 500 dum dum lollypops.) When the first person pulled up to the scene, they asked if i needed their phone, i used it to call mine which rang about 35 yards down the road. I dont have any pics though. Oh i walked away without a scratch.

haha oh yeah. Took out the 25 mph speed limit sign too...i mean fucked that thing UP! but if that hadn't happened he wouldnt have gotten into that really gorgeous blue 4 door.

back when I was a young lad, a buddy of mine did a burnout all the way down my mom's street in his Mustang Cobra. OOOOOOOOOHHH MAN that was not a good situation... haha

ROFL I know all the pain stories shouldn't be funny, but I have to laugh at some of the stuf that happened here. Just wish there were more pics...

Wonder what my mom would say if I wrecked coming into the neighborhood...

i hit a huge log once during a wind storm in my e30 and dragged it all the way back to my appt...

i thought i hit a huge pothole, it was really dark out, and it got stuck in front of my pass side wheel, and stayed with me all the way to my appt.... :bloated:

Curiosity didn't get the best of you? I guess it killed the cat, so I can understand how you wanted to play it safe...
