Another M bites the dust...

Post by NorthernSky » Thu Sep 20, 2018 9:18 pm

I just noticed this on social media, the crash damage looks dreadful - apparently the driver survived, but with serious injury. Hope this isn't anyone from the forum, and that they can recover fully.

Rear half looks completely trashed. What happened? Traction control off and speeding? :cry:

Oh, oops. And double fail - apparently it's not an M, it's an si with the M alloys. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Probably inspired by this famous Dutch racing class in the 70's (reverse driving racing....)

I wonder if its not an M.
On the drivers side either the batterybox is missing or the backbox is missing. However I see a heatshield there. Only the M has that (to shield the 2nd backbox).
Also this crash matches the M driver profile more :evil: :P
Just kidding, the /m has an lsd and oversteer situations are more likely with an lsd.


I'm thinking: front /m bumper, m steering wheel, champange leather m seats, and maybe individual champagne extended leather.
That is a treasurechest :lol:
