Well... it had to happen...
Not my pictures but thought I would share: on Autoscout24 in Switzerland.
Interesting to see the internals and how all this copes with a crash...

ccdies79 M3 · 02-12-2023, 03:30 AM

I hate seeing pics like this, what a waste of such a beautiful vehicle. Even if it’s repaired with a salvage title, but probably a good chance of picking it up cheaper than new or used.

Llarry · 02-12-2023, 03:31 AM

What a shame...

midlifecrisis · 02-12-2023, 04:39 AM

Switzerland, February, and Pilot Sports are probably not the ideal combination. Ugh.

chicagofan00 · 02-12-2023, 09:00 AM

Hope the people involved are all OK.

Stockholmarn · 02-12-2023, 10:25 AM

You can even see snow in the background ffs.
Should have given me this build slot instead, I already have winter tires ready!

I hate to see a nice car like this one crashed. Definitely fixable.

FISH22 · 02-12-2023, 12:16 PM

Damn. Hope the occupants are ok.

werdn · 02-13-2023, 12:14 PM

Lol did the car even make it past the break-in period?

marcw · 02-13-2023, 12:15 PM

That'll buff right out.

jonbardzy · 02-13-2023, 12:17 PM

Airbags deployed and cabin looks to be mostly in tact so hopefully occupants came out of this ok🙏🏼🙏🏼 Cars can always be replaced

Danman5666 · 02-13-2023, 12:20 PM

Yikes, hopefully everyone was okay. It's still terrible to see.

JMD · 02-13-2023, 12:35 PM

I hope the occupant(s) faired better than the image of the M3-T. However, I think many here wonder the cause of such accident. Being how clean the car is,...I doubt if weather was a factor! Hopefully someone else is at fault! If it's the owner's fault for doing something crazy,...bummer!

I'm thinking it'll get Totaled.

Xspeedracer · 02-13-2023, 12:40 PM

Looks totaled to me all airbags with front end and right frame horn
At least the driver was ok

ibmc · 02-13-2023, 12:47 PM

I would like to see Mat Armstrong take a shot at this one. He does amazing work.....

Or the driver could have just not been paying attention and rear-ended another vehicle. Not always the tires at fault.

Aren’t the collision avoidance systems supposed to prevent that? And if they aren’t standard, they should be in a car this expensive.

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

Cold tires plus freezing cold asphalt = unusual long braking distances and very slippery driving behavior. I live in Bavaria and have my experience with driving summer tires on winter roads, even if there is no snow on them. Just don't do it.
