This is my brother-in-law's BMW1... just 2 months old when someone ran a red light and broadsided it with his wife driving... the car ended up in a ditch that had spikes in it.... and one appeared each side of Kim....

Car's been written off!

That's one of Fairbairns plates. No doubt someone out on a test drive, as I'm sure only managers get to drive the M cars now.

It was a fair mess! Will probably need a new drivers door to, or a skin at least as it had creased up a bit.

Hope the Manager got a ribbing carlo? Whats his name, may know him?

Of course they wont tell any prospective owners, why the hell would they.

Its not the first one. One was heavily wrecked and its driver severely injured mid last year before the official launch, another i know of had the whole right side swiped, too before the official UK launch in sep of last year.


30mph my arse, obviously the donut cant drive

Some dealers are ''running them in'' some others obviously are not lol


also since when hav BMW done door skins, they never did them before?
