These damn kids look at that, trying to use a v-10 bmw to do a rail slide wheres the no skateboarding sign when you need it.

 

I'll take the headlights .

 

It doesnt even look like a serious accident in the first place.

 

I'm not sure what your idea of a serious accident, but to me, it appears pretty serious. The car went sticky side up at least a couple time it looks like...

 

i guess that wasn't spiderman driving it

check out the front plate, is it taiwan? china?

if this is indeed a magazine review, wonder if they have to pay for it (that would suck! )

 

I like the title of your post.

Obviously responsibility was lacking here.

 

From another board:

this actually happens close to where i live in Taiwan.

i think this might be one of the very first M5 in Asia Pacific, if not the first. it arrived Taiwan last week, the accident happened just few days after it past Taiwanese car inspection. so at the time when accident happened, the car only has temporary testing license plate, and has no insurance on the car (Taiwanese car insurance is on car, rather than driver like North America). and the accident happened during a magazine road test against E55 AMG.

the driver was trying to take a corner with very uneven road surface, and lost the backend, hit the divider, flip the car 3 and a half rotations, and stopped by a tree. 3 passengers were in the car, 2 of which walk away without a single scratch, 1 has a minor scratch on his arm.

car is total, as it's structure is damaged beyond repair, but no one was seriously hurt. M5 is defintley a very safe car.

the magazine that's responsible for this on the other hand, will have to pay for the car, which worth a bit more than 200k USD. since there car didn't have insurance yet at the time of the accident.

 

200k usd? hell no. it's not worth 200k. and if you can't handle the power just drive with 400hp or don't drive it.

 

Yeah, the 200k figure seems a bit off. IIRC the target price is 90-100k for these cars.

 

Import cars in Taiwan have to pay a premium in tax . That is where the 200k figure comes from and that is probably pretty accurate.
