I was driving up rt 4 today on my way to ccri and saw what looked like a black e30 rolled over by an on ramp with a blue modified golf pulled over right next to it surrounded by 5 cop cars and a bunch of ambulances. Looked like they had been racing or cruising or something when the bimmer flipped a few times the roof was completely indented into the cabin . I hope it wasnt anyone on this forum and that everone is alright

Impossible, E30s are glued to the Earth.

the driver in the e30 must have been a bad driver and was losing to a vw so the e30 sacrificed his life for other e30s

lol guys this is serious, that's not too far from me. i wonder what happened and hope everyone is alright

all safety products were reverse engineered from the e30... of course the guy is alright

it was an e34, and luckily he is ok. :redspot



it wasnt me, but my best friend

Was it JoshP9332?!?!

Josh is fine minus some scrapes and bruises, i was the first one at the hospital today and he is for sure ok.

Try not to contact him for the time being, hes shook up pretty good and honestly doesn't remember a thing

e34s are obviously tanks. looks like it protected him pretty well

Damn, that thing is fuckedddd.

that sucks man.... tell your friend to feel better on my behalf

Shit! Good to hear everyone is alright.

:( sucks man. Hope you feel better joshp.

thats terrible. I remember when I totaled one of my cars. I was scared when I got back behind the wheel afterwards. Now, my driving style is much different (for the better).

wow, damn.......glad he's alright

Glad you're ok man. Cars are replaceable, you aren't.

Damn, that thing is fuckedddd.

Wow, the car is flattened. He is a lucky man.

Just curious, was he wearing a seatbelt? It looks like the passenger side got crumpled more.

holy poop.

yes he was

yes he was

Good to know.

Was his buddy in the R32 right behind him? That must have been a scary thing to see your friend violently flipping over.

Edit: I just read that he saw him in the rear view mirror.

I'm glad he's all right.

glad he is ok!

my friend in his 4.8is said about a month ago a black e34 with a roof rack spun out on a ramp in front of him at the Weston toll area, luckily it didn't end in a story like this.

Holy hell thats scary. Glad to see he's ok!

so, are those style 5's gonna be up for grabs soon?

hah very true

They will be. And by they i mean the one that is still intact, the car is at my house now and will be parted as much as possible to get josh some cash

wow it sucks to hear that. glad you're OK. looks like the car did it's job at least.

I hate to say it but if the car ran upside down (which by the looks of it is quite possible) then I doubt there is much to salvage.

Once again I wish him a speedy recovery. I doubt I just told you something you didn't know but I still felt the need to save you the trouble.

:dunno

saw a pic on facebook, he looks pretty good considering the situation. these cars are safe

damn i just heard, good thing he's ok

looks like me and josh both had our bmws save our lives at the cost of their own

things come in threes :shifty

:eek:OH SHIT! i just realized mine was on RT4-N a couple miles from the newport exit

same road..... creepy, if these things do come in 3's craig i think it prefers early 90's bimmers (mine 92' 3, josh 93' 5) so a 94 7 is next
thats terrible. I remember when I totaled one of my cars. I was scared when I got back behind the wheel afterwards. Now, my driving style is much different (for the better). same i hate driving next to pick-ups with the 4 wheels on the rear axel now they scare me, a silver one sideswiped me and kept going as i went into the trees (RIP little blue 325i :() never got the bastard

wait you totaled your old e46 craig, so if its a 3 were safe?

EDIT- i checked to see where mine happened and it was rt1-n but only 2 miles from where it turns into rt4-n, so same thing basically

yeah... bimmers are 100% safe... if you couldn't tell from the looks of my car and the damage done to my body. h/o i got a pic..

see im fine... lmao but seriously... i was lucky that fuckin car saved my life... drive safe people... you never know when something bad can happen. i still can't remember what happened.

bmws are very loyal, as long as maintained they will last through rough driving, and protect the driver in situations such as this. talk about personifying an inanimate object!

Hey saw the pics on fb this morning... glad to hear you're okay Josh!!!!

(srsly though next time just take the fruit snacks and let her know who's boss ;))

Glad to see that your posting online just a few days after an accident like that. When i first saw that pics i was thinking faaakkkkkkkk....

But you just made me make my final decision that I will be getting a roll bar in my car for next years track season.
