Set up for a stunt Ouch

[iDreamBeemer]

that'll t-cut out, no worries!

[oakey]

I reckon that might just be a write off only 30mph

[curryp]

the door will go again and maybe the boot lid.

should be fine

[munky30]

lol... one in the eye for all the e30 bummers that insist this car is safe in a crash.

Although I'd say the majority of the damage is because of the council wheels, if it were on bbs it would have just scratched the bumper.

[touringandy]

isnt that purple m,tecs car i hit a wall on an angle at around 20 -30 no were near that damage

bizzarely it had bbs on lol you were right munky lol

think it was going a little quiker to be honest though dont want to try it if that is the case.................

[SK360]

Hopefully that one was an example with rust in structural places

[daimlerman]

Very hard wall? Daz punched a hole right through the one he hit....

[touringandy]

funny you say that cos i done more damage to the central reservation then to my car lol

[SPADGE]

Proper way to dispose of a chromie

[ShakeyC]

Astounded at only 30mph

[Returnof318i]

rubbish that is i have just written my e30 off at 50mph into a tree and it looks better than that, that was over 30 all day long

[ShepsEvo3]

The wall got away without a scratch!!!! No marks ATALL!

[Jhonno]

to be fair it looks like it was faster than 30.. DanThe's (i think) accident @80 resulted in something similar looking, albeit not a straight on collision

[dazleeds]

must be a rotter or a very thick wall

i put a hole straight thru a 2feet thick yorkshirestone wall at about 25mph

2nd that

Looks more than 30mph impact to me though

[Gussy]

I crashed an E30 into a pole on the driver side front years ago at 70mph and there was way less damage on my car than the one in the pic.

[dazleeds]

i reckon that was at least a 60mph hit

i once got hit by passat in the pass side at 60/70 which shoved me into a concrete bollard lined hedge
and the damage was similar to that pic
creased every panel on the car incl rear qtrs and roof even tho nothing touched them

also snapped dash and deposited the heaters contents on my lap

was just a touch less damage than the pic above but not much at all

[bigun]

those are the concrete blocks thats used to seperate the lanes on the motorway them thick as fook

[Lloydie38]

I got the pic off google - the explanation was the car was pulled by a cable STRAIGHT into the wall and did'nt allow for natural fall back after the impact...However I think the car had been to a demolition derby prior to the pic

[gareth]

from an engineering viwpoint, hitting a solid rigid mass is the worst thigg to happen. it's all down to the rate of decereration and the forces involved.

if you hit a softer object (like daz's stone wall ) that moves, the decelleration and G forces are lower and the forces imposed on the structure are lower.

still, looks considerably nasty!

die you chromie fecker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jon_Bmw]

I reckon that might just be a write off only 30mph

The driver would be written off as well. Or at least half of him

[Onz]

notice that the imaginary airbag didnt deploy!

who was driving?

[Martinaston]

Its probably got a half a ton bass box in the boot

[Jesus325iTouring]

Have a look at this

[Martinaston]

That airbag looked like a waist of money

[Jesus325iTouring]

That airbag looked like a waist of money

Just the air bag??

[Martinaston]

[Rich_W]

Have a look at this

Looks like a rebadged Vauxhall Frontera

[touringandy]

it is a frontera were was that airbag for though ?? the sunroof ??

[tailoutcharlie]

oh man that slo mo at the end

[touringandy]

classic footage, like when alan partridge done it slow motion

[junkjimmy]

Check this link Ncap crash test vidio for the e90 . e46 and e36 are also on there http://www.euroncap.com/tests/bmw_3_ser ... 5/225.aspx

[murran]

now you see were all ok, no matter what we drive, cus we would be alot more observant to what in front of us than bummies and move or legs and arms to brake and swerve to avoid stationary objects which makes all this crash testing irrelevant...... i personally wouldnt floor it in an encosed warehouse...... would you? (tho it might be different for chinese peeps. )

[touringandy]

i was told not to kick a ball indoors when i was a kid, true though never saw me dad driving in the house , only done it when he went out
