Judging from the pictures, how air bags did not deploy is beyond me?? What kind of impact force does air bag deploy at?!
Glad to see you walked out with minor injuries.

Glad you came out of it alive although battered and bruised.
The car is a testament and proof of BMW's build and quality. Hope you get back on the road with the same car or even better soon.

Clearly the rate of deceleration was not severe enough. The sensors will measure the force of the impact/rate of deceleration and deploy the airbags are necessary.

Sounds like he didn't need the airbags anyways. Glad to hear you made it out in one piece, OP. They will definitely total that car.

Dang, that was a massive T-bone hit right in the weakest spot. Glad for your sake that the doorbars spread the impact. My condolences about the car; it's a shame.

I'm sorry for the loss of your M3! It's very fortunate that you are well after an accident like that. Good luck in your search for your new car.

Judging as fast as he was moving, I would say he was traveling at approx. 60mph. The impact was so severe, that it spun me around facing the opposite way I was traveling and he ricocheted the opposite way traveling for another 75yds before coming to a complete stop into a nail salon. Needless to say I had to be cut out by the jaws of life and suffered only contusions to my left hip and kidney and a sprained neck. Thankfully as my windows exploded, since my windows were tinted, glass shards didn't go anywhere and suffered no cuts to the face or arms. Airbags did not deploy. As I am guessing from what I seen today, my car will be totaled since there are signs of buckling all over the front end and dashboard indicating the firewall is bent. There is water damage to the floorboard since It was raining out and the body shop says he does not feel right fixing it. The estimate is already at over $20,000 without seeing anything underneath. We will see more tomorrow as I meet with the claims adjuster. Anyways, here are a couple pics.














Glad you are ok, and that your injuries were not severe (or should I say any worse).

It's odd that the side airbags weren't triggered. Unfortunately , your car looks like it may be written off.

Would you consider another E92 ///M3 as replacement?

Good thing the M3 is a strong car! Too bad it's a total loss but it's better to lose the car than to lose your life. Hopefully your insurance company will cover everything. The most important part is that you're OK though!
