Lost my 2er to a Hit & Run

whoismorggan · 10-11-2021, 04:47 PM

Very thankful to have walked away from this accident unscathed, but very sad to see my BSM + Coral Red M235i go. I was driving home late Saturday night on a tight winding road when a car erratically changed lanes to overtake me and clipped my front end - sending my car off the road and into a 10 ft ditch/creek, where it rolled several times and rested on its roof.

The person who hit me did not stop, and to my knowledge has not been found.

Looking into a manual M240 or E36 M3 now. Will be a lifelong BMW owner!

Cheers all.

That is some truly awful news about your car but most important thing is you're safe and hopefully they catch that asshole

After a wreck of that magnitude, it's good to hear that you're okay!

I complain about the weight of our cars, but today a good deal of that added weight is what allows the car to keep you safe in an incident like this one.

Do you know yet if there's any likelihood the miscreant will be identified and then apprehended?

shadowfax · 10-11-2021, 05:30 PM

Sorry for your loss, but really glad you are ok.

Absolutely, and thank you! I'm not sure of the likelihood but it has to be pretty low

Neverlost99 · 10-11-2021, 06:01 PM

I hope my convertible would protect me that well :O

Rocky58 · 10-11-2021, 06:11 PM

Wow! Glad you walked away in such good shape!

I'm not always the kind of driver who should have a camera up and running next to his rear view mirror, but yours is the sort of circumstance that has caused me more than once to think that there are times when it would be a good idea.

Best of luck with a smooth insurance claim and everything else that goes along with a totaled car; it seems like that part should be pretty straightforward.

Looks like a nice intercooler

freakystyly · 10-11-2021, 07:14 PM

There's the 2 series' mystery mass at work. Car is in somewhat decent shape for being on its roof in a creek. Glad you are in one piece and thanks for sharing the pics.

Mike F. · 10-11-2021, 10:08 PM

Yeah, the car really looks pretty decent for all that happened to it. Really great that you were able to walk away after that.

selbyp93 · 10-11-2021, 11:16 PM

Wow, so sorry you had to go through this mate. Must be very traumatic. Glad that you're safe and sound and I hope you find your new car very soon.

Shovelman · 10-12-2021, 06:26 AM

Anyone need a good engine and tranny?

Oltimer · 10-12-2021, 10:44 AM

I feel your pain man, but you're safe! and, you live to mod another bm.

khoa@x-ph.com · 10-12-2021, 11:53 AM

Cars can always be replaced. You didn't get hurt so that's good.

Time for car shopping!!

leftoverture · 10-12-2021, 03:03 PM

Glad you are safe, that's what really matters. Hope they catch the guy who did it.

kravenmoorewood · 10-13-2021, 08:20 AM

Glad you are safe, but man, what a shame. Good luck on your search for a new one.

TheSniper · 10-13-2021, 08:24 AM

Damn, sorry to see that happen. But also so thankful you were able to walk away.

TrboMike · 10-15-2021, 10:33 AM

Jesus what was it like crawling out of that upside down and into a stream.

It was surreal. I took a few seconds to make sure I could feel my limbs, and wasn't injured. Then as soon as I felt water and I immediately turned around and crawled towards the back.

cooolone2 · 10-16-2021, 06:06 PM

Wow! Glad you walked away from that! Cars can be replaced...

That said... I would certainly keep that (buy slavage) and take that engine! Hahahaha

Then go a full balls out build, 1000hp hahahaha

60_Driver · 10-16-2021, 07:38 PM

Crazy wreck. Glad you’re okay and fingers crossed that the police are able to put a good hit & run case together!
