So sad, fourth one I've seen... most likely another driver who did not respect her power.

u should of seen my old sig

Hopefully the driver of that car was okay. I noticed the cabin didn't seem to be affected. This is one reason why it's hard to justify replacing the metal hood for a CF one. The steel absorbs some of the impact as it's part of the crumple zone.

The M5 is a beast, don't take her out of the cage if you don't know how to wrangle her.

The front door is made from steel. I'm guessing the same applies for the fenders. However, in the E92, the two front fenders and rocker panel covers are made of thermo plastic to help reduce weight. The use of those components results in a 20 lb overall reduction of vehicle bodyweight.

Or when u returned to ur M5 after a day off to the zoo with ur kids and u saw ur baby like this on the parking lot ...... it must the elephant !

Hahahaha. So there is where the e92 saved the 22 lbs that made it lighter than the E90 SEDAN! Incredible.

oh my....so many ideas are coming to mind. Serioiusly, I'd be interested in buying that right now. Do you have the name of the autobody shop it's at and number?

InfamousM3 · 12-28-2006, 06:32 PM

I saw it at Rallye Auto Body, went there to get a quote for my car after someone rear ended me.
