    Default My e34 is no more :(

    A couple of weeks ago I was in a car accident in southern California while driving my 525i. An old lady decided to pull a U-turn on red so I ran right into her, head on. SHe and her insurance claimed full liability, so at least I ended up getting something out of it ($6100). But I'm now in a hunt for a new car. I dont think i'll be buying another e34 right now, even though they're within the price range, mainly due to the expensive maintenance (I'm still in college).

    Oh dude, that is a bad wreck. I assume you have an airbag in that puppy, and it did its job???? Any personal ill-effects?

    BTW, thanks for the website (it was you that set us up right?)

    OOOops, just noticed the green coolant, tisk tisk

    Thats a nasty pic. You slap that bitch in the face? I'd kill someone.

    Are you still sticking to the BMW family?

    i dont think I'll be sticking to the bmw, not for right now at least. I dont think it's a smart move with the maintenance costs even on basic maintenance while I'm still in college. Though I only have 1 year left..
    And yep, the airbag deployed (that was the "coolest" thing about the whole crash). The lady that I hit was really freaked out, but at least she volunatirly gave up her driving privelages for good after the crash (she was about 80 years old).
    Oh and yeh I helped Ed set up this forum originally. I convinced him and everyone else to switch from the old format to something more 'modern' and the forum has been going strong ever since.

    anyone in Souther California selling a car by any chance?
