Another E30 RIP

[boybimmerm3]

Another E30 ended its days early. I brought this for my father-in-law to replace the last E30 that he had run into the ground. He had only had this 6 months. It would have still had a few years left had this not happened. Still main thing is that he is ok. I will be looking for another E30 soon to replace this. Here are a couple of pics, it took the impact quite well considering it was hit by a few cars from various directions, only panel surviving was the sunroof and drivers door!!

what happened?!

Exactly what i was thinking?

It's still not 100% clear what happened, he cant remember it all. There was a van a few cars ahead of him, engine in van blew up, smoke everywhere then people in front slammed on brakes. He 'lightly' hit the car in front. Then its all a bit vague, thinks he got hit by another car, then while he was out of the car with the drivers of the other cars a coach came along and did not see them and ploughed into the cars, including the E30 too. Scary really, he was very lucky as when the coach hit the car he was knocked across the road.

Thanks for all the well wishing people. He is going to be fine, just needs to take it easy for a while. The car was worth more to him that he will get from the insurance payout. The search begins to get him another E30 now. If anyone knows of a cheapie 4 pot ( under £150 ) Please PM me. Cheers. Will be going to Gaydon on sunday so catch up with everyone then.
