Death of a Legend...Birth of a Project.

Laguna Seca Blue · 04-19-2012, 05:18 AM

I'm fairly new here, and I've mentioned a few times in my previous posts that I flipped my E46 M3 in January. A couple of weeks ago I bought a 2009 E92 6MT, so I think it's finally time I post pictures for everyone to see what happened to my beloved Leguna Seca Blue M3. The first picture is of the accident scene itself, and subsequent photo's are of the car at the police impound just before i had it towed to the scrap yard. Although you might not believe it from seeing the pictures, I walked away without a scratch (although getting smacked in the face by the airbag was not ideal).

Too much Tokyo Drift

Chismakop · 04-19-2012, 07:06 AM

How did you do that to such a MEAN Machine?

AddictedToBavarian · 04-19-2012, 07:06 AM

Conveniently left out the story behind the flipped car. Lol

achien · 04-19-2012, 07:45 AM

your inside part of the front tires are bald, that's probably why you didn't have control of the car...

V-Viper · 04-19-2012, 07:49 AM

Lol at the ambulance with the cartoons on side, don't know how I'd feel about having that arrive to help me.

SpartanGA · 04-19-2012, 08:07 AM

at least there was an umbrella in the car in case it was raining.

edit: 2 umbrellas. how thoughtful

mashimarho · 04-19-2012, 08:10 AM

Holy cow.... I am also interested in what happened to make it flip like that!!!

s0nu · 04-19-2012, 08:27 AM

Wow I agree with you in saying that it's difficult to believe that you walked away from that accident scratchless.

However, I would like to hear how the accident happened? Looks to me like high speed paired with a sharp turn and then a hit with another car causing the flip.

DDS2015 · 04-19-2012, 09:07 AM

You flipped it so hard that the steering wheel ended up on the wrong side!

lol

MrPig · 04-19-2012, 09:09 AM

Holly hell. I too am curious how you can flip an e46 M3.

eric@helix · 04-19-2012, 09:19 AM

It's a sad day when the planet has one fewer LS blue E46 M3. Glad you're ok.

itsmeek · 04-19-2012, 09:23 AM

Impound lot? Street racing? Were you racing that WRX? How the heck did you flip an M3, did you hit a curb?

Asian drivers for the win

J/P!!

EuroE92 · 04-19-2012, 09:49 AM

When i first read the title " Death of a Legend " I thought it was going to be about Dick Clark lol

But back to OP +1 in for story on what happened
