Damn! all bad man.
Glad you're okay.
Hopefully everything works out. This happened to a friend of me once, he had just added all these aftermarket parts to his car, but unfortunately he was not able to retrieve any of it. ( brand new tires, rims, among other things.) Hopefully this is not the case with you. Good luck!

that sucks. even with vdc off, throttle up condition should've corrected your yaw...even if it's not a graceful recovery.

GL with the repairs.

I'm sorry to hear Goldy, glad you're ok!

Well since I have this thread going, anybody have suggestions on a next ride other than the 335i that I have been looking at?

I dont want to spend over 25k (gonna just go used)

A 25k 335i is gonna break... After 50k miles those cars turn to shít. And if you wanna mod it... Get a trash can, sell your house, and any other possessions, get $100 bills and burn them as fast as you can...

(I know the tuning chips are cheap, but those turbos are the size of a baby's fist, spool them long enough, and they'll be toast. And hope that's all that breaks)

Don't forget the high pressure fuel pump issues and electrical wiring problems!!

Yeah that they "fixed"

(Somehow every -35i owner I know has had their car lemmoned... And by every, I mean all 5 of them... Oh yeah... And one of theirs caught fire on the freeway and melted itself to the god damn pavement

Hey man sorry to see this... You have any pictures of the G? Back when I had mine, my cousin crashed it on the freeway and I thought it was totalled forsure by looking at the damage, ended up being about 3-4K shy.. I ended up dumping the car anyways but was able to at least re coup some money from the mods that werent toast. GL man

Only pic I have, the curb was super high. Thats why I think the frame is tweeked.

CAUTION image is insanely big

Doesn't really look that bad... At all... And you told me that no airbags were deployed too...

My vote is that you're going to stay with us...

After looking at the damage I don't think its enough to get it totalled but thats only if the frame etc is straight. Good luck and I am just glad you are ok. One thing about Gs though is they are a very safe car. If I was to have an accident I would want to be in a G.

TheGreatOne · 10-21-2013, 08:01 PM

Crossing my fingers for you dude, sorry to hear about the accident.

Glad you're all good
