Looks like the one, quite why someone would steal an M3 in this weather is beyond me, mine won't even move as I found out after moving it out of my unit the other day. Waste of a good car :(

Saw Glenn at the weekend (purchasing something) and the subject of his old car came up. His words were "I thought to myself, that car will be dead within a year"
I guess the driver was punching above his weight in this weather :(

Can anyone suggest how to test if the boot lights are staying on with the boot shut?

Hes also a friend of random dave, i hope it wasnt him in the passanger seat who got injured! I bet Glenn will be gutted when he sees this :( I am and i didnt even own the car! I was really looking forward to getting some pics of it at the rolling road day next month.

Gutted I'd imagine as the new owner was going to put coilovers on it and let Glenn have the Group 'N' suspension for his current beast!! And the blood, sweat and tears that he probably put into it in the first place!! I would be

That looks like a residential area and that looks like the impact was hard = speeding. Waste of a good car.

Did it have a roll cage? The poor passenger in presumably the heavily crunched side (an M3 being LHD) must have been shitting bricks :eek:

If I ruled the world, E30 M3 potential owners would be assessed for suitability. Second hand dog owners are often checked out to see if they are fit for purpose. 8O

Looking at the level of damage to the E30 and the surroundings (residential area) he certainly was not travelling at residential speeds.

My old M3 replaced that one for a V10 conversion, hope it isn't destined the same way... know the owner of Glens old (smashed) M3 too. :(

that's one horrific scene, not just the fact it's a sheer waste but the driver should expect the full extent of the laws' long reaching arm. I smashed a nova SR one day - into a hedge! Do people not factor in other road users, road conditions, visibility? That will almost definitely landed the other cars occupants in hospital if not the morg.

Just not worth it...
