5 times people, :eek:

Anyone else think it looks like a De Lorean now?

Thats almost enough to bring a tear to your eye

Just goes to show the level of safty these things have

Heres the link to his sale on Ebay, it has more pictures on here aswell

am i the only thinking he's a retard buying it back from the insurance ?

Stonedofmoo · 28 Jan 2006 at 08:22

I notice he doesnt mention quite how it happened lol

Clearly a safe shell though!

Hide the pictures before BMW get ideas for the next 5 series.

Roll it 5 times it seems

Stonedofmoo · 28 Jan 2006 at 08:28

Yeah but that was the outcome, not the cause

Dangerous · 28 Jan 2006 at 08:31

I'd say going at speed, there isnt much front or rear damage. To roll that thing 5 times must have been doing some speed as it weights a bit!

I noticed that. He just ignored the questions of how it happened and replied to the other ones. Guess he was driving like an idiot

Err, that's an M5

Rolled 5 times and he walks with a Sore shoulder. A Massive Quake style IMPRESSIVE from me.

Looks like that indian dudes been trying to turn it into a 206.
5 times i can't get over that the best i have managed is 3 times and i needed the rail that goes round a roundabout to help get me going.
Great pics. :cool:

I'd strip it down totally and sell the bits on ebay, only person willing to buy the shell would be a breakers anyway?

Zip · 28 Jan 2006 at 12:06

Imagin putting the engine(if it still works) into something like an ariel atom

You would almost have your on F1 car

yea but i dont think he will sell the parts from that car that easily, and all the body panels are damaged, as is the suspension. the engine and seats are about the only things he can sell :confused:

TripleT · 28 Jan 2006 at 14:15

Haha liking the De Lorean resemblance

And yes, it's an M5 not an M6.

You know, about 2 hours after i posted i was lying in bed watching tv and then i though "****, i wrote m6. *******!"

shrek2 · 28 Jan 2006 at 15:29

Seeing that car makes me cry.

Clarkey · 28 Jan 2006 at 15:54

Christ thats one hell of a wreck :eek:

Can hardly believe the driver walked away with only a sore shoulder, glad to see these cars have safety as serious as the performance. Relating this to the 'power wars' thread the other day though, this guy obviously thought he was Michael shumacer behind the wheel, maybe bmw are slightly irresponsible selling a 500bhp car to someone with clearly more money than driving skill :confused:

but how can you judge who has driving skill and who doesnt? he obviously didnt drive it like that on the test drive

Clarkey · 28 Jan 2006 at 16:59

personally I think driver training should be compulsory when buying a 'supercar'
