Airbags and all?? Jeez I hope everyone was able to make it out okay

The driver must had no clue about how important having a set of winter tires is...
Deserved, no sympathy unless the actual story tells otherwise.

Now if it was snow/road/tire related then those systems won’t help.

If I'm correct, I don't think winter tires are mandatory in Switzerland (they are in other European countries). So his Michelins could have definitely played a role in not being able to make an emergency stop in cold weather, whether they were was snow on the ground or not.

The front end may actually look a little nicer from a few angles. Lol

No fun… I hope the occupants are okay, and happy just knowing they were in a safe, safe car

Cars can easily be replaced, so they can always pickup a nice shiny new one

The driver was a 24 years old who thought could drive and turned xdrive off. With summer tires. On a wet and freezing road in mid January.

Ugh… Not completely surprised

Got to save that shit for the experienced, and more importantly the track

418BUC · 02-13-2023, 02:25 PM

That’s a hard/fast hit

bandersen · 02-13-2023, 02:26 PM

Ok. So still, if you’re only looking at the back 2/3…or even 1/2…what a gorgeous car. Wish I could buy it here.

Aalfred · 02-13-2023, 02:26 PM

Dang..hope the driver was OK. For all the hate the long touchscreen has been receiving, Its amazing that it didnt crack on this headon collision. Those sticks that are holding it down appears to be working well.

G30M · 02-13-2023, 02:42 PM

Looks like I'm not faint hearted

They took the term a little too literally.

That’s one reason I might keep buying BMWs…they are one of the safer cars out there.

"not for the faint hearted". Based on that I expected to see limbs hanging out if the hood. Hopefully they were okay and had insurance.

psuibmw · 02-13-2023, 03:28 PM

Didn’t know they already started delivering those

Too bad that was quick!!

Dgjo2022X5MC · 02-13-2023, 05:04 PM

Summer tires strike again. In winter. Don’t the dealers tell the uninformed of the hazard? I thought there were rumes in the EU about summer/winter tire swaps.

Phuk IT · 02-13-2023, 06:30 PM

LOL the windshield and all the windows seem completely intact. This is nothing...

Feel bad for the car for it's much worse off than the "driver"

x77md · 02-13-2023, 06:52 PM

Give it to Mat Armstrong

BMWRacer523 · 02-13-2023, 08:25 PM
