Pics of a crashed M5
Somewhere in Germany, some state road.
I couldn't find more info. Let's hope the driver / passengers are ok. A reminder for us all to drive safe!

Thanks for posting. Hope the driver is just getting flow in as a precaution. Also hope it was not a fellow board member on a delimited speed test.

That is ugly. Note in the last picture the word Pirelli... more F1 technology filtering down.

I heard there will be a safety recall for specifically the MCB color cars due to a design flaw in those colors causing loss of traction and crashes.
Don't quote me on that though.

Bad news indeed. The 42-year old driver sustained life threatening injuries. Passenger unharmed. I added more pics of the scene of the accident, so we can see what can happen in those twisty road high speed runs.

Just read the German news articles. Apparently there were two BMW employees in the car for some sort of test run (not specified). The driver sustained life threatening injuries and was flown out, passenger apparently only with minor injuries.
I am puzzles as the article says that skid marks from full force braking were found on the street some 150ft long and after breaking like that the car went through a telephone pole like nothing and into a field for about 600ft. After all that, the speed was still high enough to catapult the car up an embankment over the road to land on the roof on the other side of that road. How fast must this guy been driving?? Stay safe out there!!!
