WTF. Another M5 Accident

Stupid Porsche Panamera driver didn't realize the cars in front of him were stopping so to avoid a rear end collision he swerved into my lane and side swiped me. My left side is damaged, left rear ADV1 wheel and tire obliterated. Now waiting for a flat bed since this just happened less than an hour ago. Only had the car for 2 months. Anyone recommend a good BMW collision repair center in Los Angeles?

Oh no..Not again...I'd love to hear the driver's excuse, I bet it's going to be rich. Or was a genuine apology made? Good luck man! I am definitely considering a second daily since M5s seem to be magnets to inattentive drivers. Plus I am r

Argh! BMW is going to have to step up the OEM replacement parts manufacturing process. This is nuts.

Porsche driver didn't see car in front stop because he was texting. Bet u $10.

Sorry for your luck

This texting thing has gotten out of hand - not sure if its related to the amount of accidents, but I do find that people are very aggressive when approaching the M5. Many like to point out that their cars are fast too by flooring it as they pass. Its the only drawback of this car and I dont find it amusing at all. Good luck and hopefully nothing maor was damaged.

Thanks everyone. Looks like the damage is from the driver side door to the rear quarter panel and left rear wheel. Most likely a 1-2 week job. Any suggestions on a spare tire while the ADV1 is being replaced? I sold my stock and I'm thinking that it should take 3-4 weeks (hopefully sommer) to get a new wheel built.
