First off - Happy to hear that you survived what looks like a violent crash. You are in fact, very lucky to be alive. I have not seen any other M cars totally destructed like this on a public roadway which raises the question.... Exactly how fast are you driving? And on a 2 lane public road with no guardrail and a row of very very old looking, well rooted trees as your "barrier" Def not the car man. Id probably keep buying BMW's if you are going to drive as wild as this and hope to report back time and time again... I broke my clavicle years ago.. its a real B to heal. God speed.

And again the road in the pics is not where the accident happened, it was a 3 lane each way highway, I was in the right lane about 2miles from my exit just didn't have enough road to do anything before I was in the grass lol. Guess this is a sign to always be in the middle lane gives you more "space" to make some miracle happen😅 |

I won’t take sides in this back and forth, but as a NJ resident who regularly drives the GS Parkway I’ll add some more info. In addition to being limited access, commercial vehicles are prohibited. With no trucks, the natural flow of traffic is 75-80 mph, especially at the southern end of the state where it’s basically dead straight. If you try to drive the 65 mph speed limit you have other cars flying past you (on both sides if you happen to be in the middle lane), which can be more dangerous than going 80 with the flow of traffic.

Hi Op,
You have nine lives for sure! One quick question, did you have DSC all the way off?

But yeah I do have 9 lives lol I'm very resilient, only reason I have a broken collar bone, is I suspect my seat back actually broke (was going to get car serviced for seat frame being broken) because in the accident the seat back basically fully reclined instead of going and staying upright like it's supposed to... (and seat back was pretty wobbly prior to accident) now I don't know for sure but I suspect seat back reclined and from momentum of me slamming into seat belt is what caused injury... (wife's seat was fully upright) and I've taken harder hits than that and walked away with nothing. |

Severely lol, never had a really bad accident until this, usually something minor that ends up totaling cheaper cars (older with super high mileags bmws). But just in general I'm typically unlucky even when it comes to like gambling and stuff, never won a giveaway, always loose at the casino, if I'm around others at the casino they don't win anything either (then always win when I'm not around lol)
But like the odds of this, hitting a relatively small animal that should've cracked my splitter and maybe bumper in normal circumstances to this, I think you can see where I'm going with this lol. |

Glad you are OK and were able to walk away. Sorry to hear about your ride. Bad luck, but hard to blame the BMWs. Maybe the driver (haha)? Right at the third month on all 3; were you just exiting the engine break-in period? Maybe the wife should drive these awesome cars you order.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Cars come and go, but glad to hear to hear that you were good! Shows to the strength of these cars. When I totaled my F10 I said the same thing that if I was in another car I might not have had as few injuries thank god! |

Wow man! I'm sorry about the car! But I'm glad you walked away with just minor injuries. Looks like the car did a great job protecting you overall. Here's to a speedy recovery!
