[Cotty]

Ouch

[magpie]

looks like it hit the tree,look at the skid marks,looks like it was going broad side when it hit ?

[jann]

Well there's your problem.

[tonybtonyb]

I hope he is ok..

[adit]

that's one way of taking the engine back out!

[dan-t-man]

bit of t cut will sort that right out

[MurphyE30]

Nasty

[jonny323i]

that's one way of taking the engine back out!

so funny

[James325]

Interesting..

[mattrs]

[darren_mk]

That is unreal : The inner gaurd complete with strut has been ripped clean off, and the engine and gearbox have separated

[Jesus325iTouring]

Go to 3.09,this is probably the issue

[shedrool83]

Think he forgot to tighten a few bolts .

Must have been a scary one .

[brettE30cab]

Why can't I view it?

[MattTheHat325]

holy sheet, that can seriously happen to a solid e30? it tore apart like a saxo! Loving the first line of the song aswell! very poigniant, i felt like i was mourning somebody by the end of it

[ross2009]

i wonder if he did walk away thats very nasty even the steering coloum was out wonder if that was cut out to get the driver out
one word OUCH !!

[Jhonno]

Fecking nora! What an impact..

holy sheet, that can seriously happen to a solid e30? it tore apart like a saxo!

There would be a lot less left of the Saxo! That was a high speed impact..

[James325]

one word OUCH !!

It would be nice to know they walked away, or at least can still walk!.

[MattTheHat325]

maybe he should have left the 4 pot in there

[a8dyc]

wow,that must have been painful.

[M-Sport]

That is one serious smash to cause so much destruction hope the driver is ok

[Cypriotgeeza]

Fu**in Hell!

[The_Haywood]

i love that jonny cash song.

that e30 is fucking annihilated man!

[ivqii]

On the bright side - the insurance company is unlikely to write it off

[suchy]

Just think of the driver smoothie that would have been left if that had been head on
DAMN lucky to have sheared the front off instead...

[Barx325i]

Go to 3.09,this is probably the issue

quite probably

[MrBenn]

What am I not seeing here?

[Barx325i]

disc brakes..

[MrBenn]

disc brakes..

I see

Slightly poor performing rear brakes isn't the most likely of reasons. Driving like a c**K is more likely.

[Barx325i]

We'll never know, he may well have been driving like a c**k, but I'd say those drum brakes were more than likely instrumental in its demise I remember emergency stops in my 320 were somewhat of a lottery but it looked ace

[magpie]

i don't think brakes will help much going sideways at over 100 mph

[MrBenn]

One of the top guys in PBMWC still uses drums and is generally in the top 3, so they obviously can work well when adjusted properly.

[Barx325i]

depends how many sideways ..but you're right magpie.

It doesn't surprise me, it's a lighter setup & I like to think the rears on a lap won't come close to locking up!

Anyhow a track prepped 320 isn't comparable, to a shed with an m50 superglued in.. I think the emphasis is on the fact that they won't have been set up so well.. Discs for the road please
