Ouch !

Looks to be Fubar from the pic, tweaked inner strut mounts , is the alloy subframe underneath ok I wonder ?

Gutted that he's having to claim of his own insurance.

I have the TBMW mag this car was featured in.

[suchy]

I bet he is feeling extremely angry at being f**ked over having done the right thing and saved someone's life!! That is such a shame, but the car does look rather messy- not sure it would be the same after being repaired...

[barryj]

Never mind that, they have a full actual section to post up when you spotted another Alpina or an Alpina rep...........................nutters.

Yeah! I find that a bit sad!

[town325i]

if this happens again i think he will chose to knock the biker off

[cecotto479]

It's the second time it's been damaged by a biker.

A moped hit the side of it a couple of years ago.

Lovely car. I spoke to him today and it looks like it will be repaired.

I've seen the estimate.

isn't close.
doesn't cover it.
is too lame.

12 pages and £22K!!

Such a shame, awesome looking car

[Blitz]

Its not getting written off the insurance company changed their mind. Its being repaired.

[bmpaul]

im glad its being repaired as its simply the best example E38 around!

At first I thought it was only the front wing then saw the other pics. Gutted for the owner. Another careless biker. It must be saved. Stunning looking motor.

[ImysE30]

Glad it's being saved, stunning looking car

[suchy]

Well glad it's being saved, not sure if it'll be the same again but happy it's being done properly
Awesome car...

[Rodderz]

Apart from the colour is there anything else unique about this car?

[Alex]

poor car

he could have always put the engine into an e30

anyway at least its being saved

[barryj]

Another careless biker.

What does that comment mean? I would hazard a guess that more people on here have had accidents caused by another car driver than a motorcyclists.............................a ridiculous thing to say.

In fairness it is why I have Harleys now!! I consider myself tg be sensible but once your on a sportsbike.........

[bss325i]

There are plenty of idiots on bikes! Not saying all are stupid but some are pretty careless.

Yhh I agree, the last bike I had was a chopper (similar style as harleys) its actually in my avatar pic. One good thing about it was everyone could hear you coming, it set you in a nice relaxed calm mood..............you never saw me weaving in and out of traffic or overtaking other cars!

But yes once your on a sports bike...........its a different story

[barryj]

Any different to once you are in a sports car?

[Rosc0PColtrane]

F*cking idiotic c*nt Power Ranger Biker mice. Roads are far too busy for Casey Stoner heroics. Fooking selfish really. If you want to ride like that, or even drive a car like that, take it to a track.

You have hit the nail on the head with your last comment (ignoring the crap you posted before it) some people drive cars like tits and some people drive bikes likes tits, but the majority of people who chose either ride/drive them with respect for other road users.

[Rodderz]

My dads mate killed a biker who was on the wrong side of the road on a bend! Not a nice thing to live with!

[Blitz]

Everything on the car is is colour coded even the wipers.

The inside looks very special as well.

[barryj]

I am not sure I like the colour coding to be honest, but it is a lovely car and its a good thing its not going to end up as salavage.

[bss325i]

+1. I never liked the colour coded shadowline and the wipers are worse!

Tacky.

[leigh]

£30k though! It's a shame yes! But no one was hurt and the biker will recieve his carma in due course, you can count on that.

[madaboutthe30]

I like the second from last photo, I would love to sit in them seats

I think not!! The amount of wanabee ' Valentino Rossi ' bikers I see driving like idiots is ridiculous. I know or should I say did Know 4 friends over the years all of whom have met their maker well before their time was due.

I've never seen one biker drive sensible apart from when they're on 'Test Day'

So I'll ignore that 'ridiculous thing to say' remark

[Simon13]

sorry like everything i disagree my old man has been racing motorbikes for over 30 years, manx TT, goodwood revival you name it he's raced in it.

Guess what car drivers have nearly killed him on the road than the race track. Like a volvo last year

It's a 2 way thing with cars and bikes and bad on both sides. I'd say car drivers are far more ignorant to bikes than the other way round. Just like us car drivers, alot of bikers use their bike as a toy and sometimes get carried away, haven't we all in our cars though?

[Gortour]

To my mind, there are too many ar5eholes on two and four wheels.
Don't care what they're piloting, if they're dangerous they shouldn't be on the road.

You have never seen any biker riding in a way that was not dangerous? I am afraid I would have to question your ability to judge when someone is being dangerous or even your eyesight.

How many bikers have you watched on "Test Day"? you do come out with some strange comments.

Funniest thing I have ever read, if nothing else you made me laugh.
