'from clean to un-clean' or 'how to mess up a perfectly good E30'

[autonerd]

hit traffic on the 210 last week, literally. impact at about 10mph or so. about 2" of ass-to-seat clearance as I stood on the brake. terrible way to find out my brakes need work. ABS didnt kick in and had plenty of room to stop. found pass/rear disc still has resurfacing marks from months ago. damn me for not checking everything when I bought it.
If anyone has a straight Brilliantrot hood in Socal let me know. This 318IS is absolutely clean besides this.

thank the gods for rear mounted spare tires and unlicensed drivers. coulda been worse

sorry to hear that, good luck on finding a hood.!

[euroshark]

You lucked out on the unlicensed driver part!! Guess those brakes should get some attention now

.....and a front valence...

Valence doesnt look bent other then the vent cover popped out

Seriously?

take a closer look at the bumperline...

[autonerd]

the bumper is still straight using my calibrated eye. but that lower nose section is f'd. it's like the hood pushed everything in front of the rad down.. and the car tryed to puke it out that oil cooler delete vent thingy. lol. my poor car.
ill say sorry by getting new pads, resurfacering, bleed, and ss lines. (sshhh, dont tell my gf)

valence looks bent

[autonerd]

I dont know about the E30 use of the word cuz im a noob, but in other circles, 'valence'' refers to the section below the bumper. not trying to be nitpicky, just sharing. ..and sharing is caring.. and i care

[E30 Wagen]

the circled part is is part of the lower section.

[bimmer_adam69]

really?? isnt that part of the rad support??? sound like your gona have to do some slide hammer work:(

[JK_E30]

shit... that could have been way worse.. wether bent or not.. that shit looks clean for an accident. lucky.. (kinda)
