These are definitely safe vehicles, but that's not a 3 series as the article states.
Doesn't look like one, and those wheels are the 22" 747M, found on the current X5/X6. |

Good Lord. Someone who survived that crash with minor injuries is definitely blessed.

So glad driver is okay. Wonder if (s)he's a fellow Bimmerposter? Wheels look unscathed.

As for the crash, it looks like a classic example of someone using their mobile phone while driving and failing to see the traffic in front had come to a stop. If anybody wants to see what the consequences of using a mobile phone while driving are, take a look at this... https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a7389241.html Last edited by mofomat; 08-08-2020 at 07:33 AM.. |

It's also what makes me think twice of what happens in a wreck with a giant Lith. Polymer battery

Negatory. X3 has the same interior-generation as G30, this is definitely an X5.

Phenomenal testimony to safety engineering. No ad agency required. Very relieved to learn that no major injuries occurred.

Pretty sure it's a 3 series touring. It's not a x5.
Edit. Now that i've looked into it, i'm not sure anymore what the hell is this car. What mathers is the driver is safe. Cheers. |
