Wrecked 1M

Blue55 · 07-29-2012, 04:31 PM

Last night a friend borrowed my VO 1M when I was out of town. He took it on a mountain road and somehow lost control and flipped the car onto it's roof. He sustained a broken nose but the car is completely totaled.

No pics yet, but our community has lost another beautiful vehicle. That car was my absolute pride and joy.

Wow Eric, I'm glad it wasn't you driving atleast but that is very unfortunate to hear....

Blue55 · 07-29-2012, 04:43 PM

Thank you Phil.

Wow man. That sucks, as you know.

I hope he has insurance to cover it.
But I believe even used 1M's go for near MSRP, no?

Terribly sorry, but glad your friend is ok.

I'm so sorry.

diegorst · 07-29-2012, 05:12 PM

Sorry to hear this bro!
This car is awsome but driving it with MDM on or traction control off (especially for someone who isn't used to driving the 1M) can be dangerous if you are not concentrated on what you're doing.
Glad your friend is okay...sorry again for you loss!

Man that sucks. Sorry. How does someone "borrow" your car while out of town!?!? Sorry to rub salt in your (fresh) wounds. lol

Btw... I bet I know how he broke his nose... I bet he drives with one hand at the 12 O'clock position on the steering wheel. When those kinds of drivers crash and the air bag goes off... they "punch themselves" in the face!!

At HPDE's we would call those types of (bad) drivers: "the Claw"... bc they always drove with one hand on the wheel! lol

Sorry about the car. At least your friend did not kill his self.

I have a hard time keeping the rear end under the car with race rubber that is 30mm a side wider. It is fun but it is a killer in the rain or on street tires with traction control off.

Blue55 · 07-29-2012, 05:58 PM

I love these cars.

You are probably right. I have not seen the car, but he said all the air bags went off. Luckily BMW has excellent safety engineering and design. Very glad that no one was hurt.

LeifW · 07-29-2012, 06:06 PM

That's awful. Glad your "friend" is okay. Now you can kill him/her. (just kidding)

Very sad to hear that,i hope you find another 1m or something better to drive in the future. So did you break his nose after or before you saw the car?

Blue55 · 07-29-2012, 06:18 PM

I haven't seen the car. I'm out of town. I will most likely try to get another one.

Marioalex24 · 07-29-2012, 06:48 PM

Sorry to hear that. Man I would've broke his nose again lol jk. Good thing everyone is ok.

Get Glassoman (spelling?) to buy it as a right/off and fix it and paint it a different colour (add CF roof) and buy it back... special!

Puts in perspective my upset at the bird shit that left a spot on my roof the other day.

Sorry to hear bro, I couldn't imagine losing mine that way. Good luck with finding a replacement.
