M3 Totaled - Bad Day

Peahi · 07-21-2013, 12:04 PM

Omg!!! Glad to hear you and your daughter are safe. Good to see the car took the brunt of the impact. Damn good engineering! Sorry for your loss

drburton · 07-24-2013, 01:44 PM

Just thought I would provide a quick update. Finally went to the doctor and my wrist is broken from the airbag. So now splinted. On a side note, I ran the tough mudder the day before I went to the doctor, which wasn't a good idea given it was broken.

Still pending the payment amount for the totaled car, should know later this week.

In terms of car, I just couldn't pull the trigger on a C63, so I put down a deposit to get on the waiting list for the M4. Bought my wife a Mini Cooper S (she always wanted) and will drive her old Touareg until the M4 arrives.

Sorry to hear about your broken hand. Glad you and your daughter are OK. I hope you are going to get a lawyer to make them pay for pain and suffering.

When you put down the deposit for the M4 did they tell you how long it take?

surprised ems didnt take you to the er after the mva. i'm assuming you're a physician as well based on your handle?

Cars are just cars, people are a whole different enchilada. As a parent, I am really glad to hear your daughter is fine. The broken wrist is a bummer but in the grand scheme of things, I think it could have been a lot worse. The car clearly worked as designed and that's something to be very thankful for.

Hope for a speedy and full recovery.

Forget the car, glad you are both safe!

Sorry to hear about the accident, at least everybody is ok...

FrozenM3nace · 07-25-2013, 12:47 PM

Shit! Good to see your both ok. You should definitely put money down on a F80 M3.

ortho281 · 07-25-2013, 12:54 PM

Unfortunate experience. Good to hear the car was able to protect you and your daughter from injury. You can always get another M3.

I got into an accident with my daughter as well. Ended up going under a tractor trailer but both of us ended up with only scraps thanks to the excellent safety features of the e92 M3. Glad you and your daughter are ok. At the end of the day it's a machine that can be replaced built for your safety.

How can someone not see another car so close? I wonder how these mistakes happen.. Unbelievable..

Other car was a Pontiac Vibe, pretty much crushed, but driver seems to be OK, after a hospital visit.

On a side note, BMW sent me a pretty comprehensive package that they want to investigate the accident, injuries etc.. to make the car safer. Pretty cool they are so proactive in trying to evaluate how the car performs in an accident.

I really don't know, but I've been seeing a lot more of this lately. I actually watch side streets pretty obsessively on my commute for signs of this, because I've had a few very close calls similar to this. The worst things is, these bad drivers are so unpredictable, some will stay out of your lane since you are obviously going faster, while others go right into your lane, making planning evasive manuevers challenging. I'm happy for the OP that there were witnesses that made assigning blame easy, since I'm always worried having a similar thing happening, and the other driver claiming it was my fault.

OP, glad things are ending up ok (at least, could have been a lot worse). Airbag breaking your wrist isn't good -- I wonder if that's why BMW is doing an investigation. I'll echo others in saying that the passenger compartment really held up well, so other than the airbag, I'm not sure what else they could have done better. Hope nothing lingers injury wise -- my wife had lingering chest pain for years after being t-boned by an inattentive driver (this one was purely the other drivers fault, the traffic light was out, meaning 4 way stop for everyone, but somehow he "saw a green light").
