Yup, April struck my little 325e with a vengence today.
Here's the story:
I was driving a friend home today after school. As we were
coming up to his street I began to slow down to make the turn.
I was only going 40Km/h (25mph), the speed i normaly take turns
at. Now his street has a few potholes and loads of loose gravel.
Unfortunalty, as I began to turn, I hit two potholes, which caused
my car to bounce (stock suspension). After that, I hit the gravel
while slowing down and turning, causing a loss of traction (due to
bad tires.) I tried to bring the car back under control, but I couldn't.
I ended up slamming into the curb at 25mph, bending the shit out
of my front rim and fender. This wrecked the entire front end of the
car.
I had it towed to my house were my dad was waiting to inpspect
it for me. Both passenger side tires were popped, the front being
bent way outta wack. The front fender is bent inward and pushed
back. The rear end my be out too. The firewall was hit by my front
tire. So far I need:
As of now, we don't see any frame damage, and I have located a
local 1989 325i Rollover being parted out. I will post some pictures
tommorow, right now I'm going to bed.
