Crashed my e92 :(

xMSMx · 04-09-2007, 03:05 PM

ok I didn't ask for sympathy I was just showing you guys what happened
if this is going to turn into bashing the OP thread I might as well delete it

Shinobi · 04-09-2007, 03:06 PM

FYI - The Porsche Club has events at El Toro on April 22, May 27, and June 17. San Diego BMWCCA has events on May 27 and July 21/22. I urge you to attend one at least one of these. You will quickly find that:

A) You're not nearly as good a driver as you thought you were and
B) even if you had PROced'd your car, you'd still lose to Ford Escorts and Honda Civics with better drivers.

Its alot of fun, and my friends there will truly show you how to handle your car. I think you'll appreciate your bimmer more than in a typical street or drag race.

I am not bashing you. Been down the road you ride on. Got me no where but close to death/prison. I don't like the sound of either. Well, probably death before prison.

You may still be required to file an accident report with the motor vehicle dept. In many states, any damage over a certain (fairly small) amount requires a report.

MadDog · 04-09-2007, 03:14 PM

Crashed it even before you got your CA plates. Shameful !!

Hope everything works out.

That's more along the lines of what we want to hear.

We all f-up, but when kids think it's cool and not incredibly stupid, they don't learn enough to prevent them from doing it again. Trust me, after raising four teens, I've done my time. Take it easy and stop fooling around on the streets! Find a track if you need to act like a nut.

SA 325i Coupe · 04-09-2007, 03:16 PM

Really sorry for you...

Sux to crash that beautiful car!!!
But good that no-one was hurt...

better luck in your future driving!!!!!!

msimon18 · 04-09-2007, 03:19 PM

Glad you are all ok.

Let's start a pool -- I guess $9,500 for repairs !!

In CA, it's anything over $750.00, and must be submitted within 10 days. Usually, your insurance company files the report, but you need to make sure they do so.

xMSMx · 04-09-2007, 03:21 PM

$9501.

j/k - I'll go with $8000. Complete guess.

EDIT - xMSMx posted the same time I did. My vote is now $25K and 3 months wait, if it isn't totaled.

stressdoc · 04-09-2007, 03:23 PM

Make sure that you take care of the landscaping -- planter, flowers, etc.
Take it easy for a few days -- accidents are stressful.

kuthair · 04-09-2007, 03:25 PM

frame damage and buckled roof? my guess, by the time all is said and done, not below $15k.

I'll up the ante to $16,000. Do I hear $17,000?

gonzo · 04-09-2007, 03:32 PM

$15,000-$20,000. uggh...When they jack er' up. BOOM. They are in the bid bidness.

xMSMx · 04-09-2007, 03:49 PM

the body shop orginally thought they could do all the work but they said to just send it straight to the BMW. ehh its not looking good

AlViN · 04-09-2007, 03:51 PM

glad to know your ok bro.

xMSMx · 04-09-2007, 03:56 PM

thanks.
damage needs to be 67% of the cars value to be considered a total loss?
if there is frame damage.. that means its a salvaged title?
and my car is a lease.. how does that work out?

335xi · 04-09-2007, 04:03 PM

Did you turn off an asphalt road onto a concrete one? Looks that way based on your first picture.

If that is the case I am guessing that is what caught you out.

Is this true? I thought salvaged title was if it was considered a total loss and fixed anyway ???
