I hereby serve my notice of resignation from the OcUK E39 Owner's Club with immediate effect:

BMDEAD.jpg


Momentary lapse of concentration in slowish traffic resulted in me piling into an almost stationary X5, with a Golf piling into me (harder), and a Porsche 968 hitting the Golf. My car is buggered to say the least, and will be a write off as the boot floor is banjaxed as well as the rear quarter panels and the obvious frontal ruination. The X5 looks okay apart from a little damage to the rear bumper (boot floor etc looked okay). Golf in a worse state than my car, and the Porsche had a minor dint to the fron/bonnet.

I'm fine, but my neck hurts. All other parties are okay too, if a little shaken.

Any idea as to which direction this'll go (I know I'm at least partially at fault, just not sure about the weighting car(s) behind will have). Clearly the Golf was too close to stop, as was the Porsche and I, well, totally fail.
 
The wonky headlight is looking at the camera as if to say "Y you do this"?

:(

Shame people hit you from behind because the front end damage is repairable :(

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! :mad:

:(

Actually, I'm not sure it would be repairable - the engine took one helluva whack off the towbar mounting point on the X5. Probably pushed something out of kilter somehwhere.
 
I have 2 new front tyres in my garage ready to fit and about 150 quid of cooling system parts on the way for some DIY work I was going to do at the weekend. :(
 
Fully comp, yes. I won't be buying it back. It's not worth it. The only certain good parts are the doors and interior and associated gubbins and whatever stuff under the bonnet isn't mangled.
 
Doesn't seem they're that thin on the ground. Had a quick peek on ph. The red and dark grey cars are particularly nice imo
 
Not sure what to aim for for the payout on this.

The market is all over the shop regarding values on these.
 
You're taking it with good humour it has to be said.

Pretty silly, looks like it was quite nice as well. You'll learn from this to pay more attention now though!

Looks repairable, but probably best left to the scrapyard and find something newer.

Trust me, it's not repairable. I don't have pics of the rear, but it's creased in all the wrong places to be economically viable for repair.
