Sorry for reviving this sad subject but I just joined the board today and learned about the Palm Beach crash. When I saw the pictures I realized that I had recently seen the car on an auto insurance auction site.

I've attached some of the pictures.

OMG!!!! What the hell happened?

Seattle S65B40 · 05-17-2011, 06:53 PM

Ohhh Man... Did you have to, really?? Not surprised that the insurer is still trying to make a buck off this. But this brings back bad memories. Rest in Peace Dani.

Haha estimated repair cost is more than $70k. Only useful thing is its tail light. I think it worth only 200 bucks lol

808MGuy · 05-17-2011, 07:41 PM

Engine looks to be intact - no? The car HAS to be a total loss with that high of a repair cost - by definition. I think it's simply being parted out...

Driver is definitely dead. It was a pretty bad accident. I believe he had the car for just a few months when this happen.

mkPOTO · 05-17-2011, 10:51 PM

wow seeing these pictures are pretty scary

zamm3k · 05-17-2011, 11:02 PM

yeap. This accident is old. Alcohol was involved. He was former forum member LuciferM3. He was pretty young too. Sad. But True.

Seven7 · 05-17-2011, 11:13 PM

the accident happened a few months earlier, the driver died on the spot and he is indeed one of the members of the forum. RIP may you drive fly up there bro.

M3maniac20 · 05-17-2011, 11:26 PM

The whole thing is crazy and devastating. May he rest in peace.

On a side note, I didn't know the M had knee airbags?
