Wet road and went in backwards by the looks.

Ooo, that looks a nasty one. Spin and crash? Yes, hope driver is ok both physically and emotionally... I'd be devastated if I ever crash mine.

Originally thought it was an M due to the wheels, but seems only exhaust on one side, so assume a non M. Hard to tell.

Z4m I think, the offside exhaust has been flattened from the looks of it

... that’s yet another spectator knowing nod to add to the BMW driver reputation, ho hummm

Maybe one day there’ll be a feature to ‘Mark safe’ on the forum

At least it was only a Coupe

Oh well that should keep the insurance premiums nice and high

They’ve just made them rarer in the gene pool, so all the remaining Coupe’s have just gone up in value, again

What's the betting the driver thought he was better than the ESP system.....

Is that a carbon leather dash?

You’re all thinking it, just sayin...

I did think - rear end smash, headlights and front bumper are probably ok....

I was thinking the very same - nevertheless it’s not a nice situation to be in. He will probably be at the stage of anylising events and what he could or should have done.

Unfortunately it says the man is seriously injured so maybe talk of spare parts and car values might be inappropriate at this stage?
