My 08 E60 M5 saved my life. But I will admit, it was the handling capabilities and the brakes that did it, not the safety equipment. Also my first experience with real life "slow mo" mode. It was like making a sports play.. thinking of the options and picking one. All in the matter of 3 seconds. I posted photos a while back.

These photos are insane.

That was a best case scenario IMO. Looks like all you guys went for one hell of a ride..

wow... I am no expert, but the photos start to paint a picture. They are very low resolution photos so it's difficult to see everything.

Looks like driver was driving at a decent speed, but not a high triple digit speed. Defiantly with DSC Off or MDM on. Most likely the cause for loosing control was either:
- changing a gear and the torque kicked the car out sideways.
- came out of the corner wrong, at too high of a speed and ran out of road.
After loosing control:
Appears he then slid diagonally across the road until the car hit the sloped curb, which contributed to the car rolling once or maybe twice until it reached its final resting spot.

Looks like when the car rolled, it was half on the street and half on the grass.. due to the "curb rash" marks on the roof.

Just a guess by looking at the photos. Everyone inside defiantly went for a ride.. to say the least.

All that comes to mind is "wow". For you to have walked away, the car did what it was suppose to. Glad everyone is fine.

I feel your pain bro. Can you tell us what happened?

The M5 seems overkill for the streets of Mauritius, there's virtually no room to let the M5 stretch her legs.

looks like the photos in this thread were taken down. All in all, probably a smart move.

Too bad to hear that there was 1 fatality, though 1 out of 9 people is very low. I had never heard of a fatality on an F10 M5 before this accident. I hope I am right.

Read my post at the top of page two. That's the story the photos told me.

I think some people are confused. OP said he had a full car, and everyone made it out with minor injuries.

Then someone posted a story about another F10 M5 accident.
