X5 ///M in accident

[LeMansX5]

This is a reminder that even with snow tires you should drive the beast carefully.



Adverse weather conditions have made a BMW X5 M, with 555 horsepower under the hood, to topple at a mountain resort in Europe. Capricious weather gave much trouble to Europeans. Snow and ice favored accidents on European roads, lack of attention being harshly charged. An unfortunate example was surprised by the camera of a tourist in a mountain resort.

It looks like a owner of a BMW X5 M, performance version of the Bavarian SUV, lost control and struck down by bulwark on the road. The impact made the SUV to turn upside down, but without serious consequences for passengers.

The BMW X5 M was named a standard of sportsmanship in its class. What is not always a good thing, especially on an icy road. The driver convinced too about the sportsmanship of the car, the driver wanted to impress and actually managed to watch the world from below. The size of the model helped to escape with only a scare.

That'll buff right out.


Edit. Always wanted to be the first...

But seriously, I am glad nobody was hurt and hope it was NOT because the driver thought the car could travel at high speed through anything.

One another point... Looks like not much crush happening there, I can't even see any broken glass in the photo.

The back window is busted out. Hard to tell about the others. Although I would assume some are. Roof did hold up well though from the looks of it.

AM I the only grammar-nerd here or was that hard as hell to comprehend because of all the sentence fragments and dangling participles?

Someone just used Babel Fish or another translator. Someday soon I hope someone will write software that translates with proper grammar!

I have come to the conclusion that on the web, there are a lot of typos and incomplete thoughts. It is the nature of the beast.

I think it is because so many try to type fast (to be the first) and get their fingers tangled up; or maybe it is just because almost the whole world is on the web and therefore you get a large spectrum of English speaking and/or writing skills.

Personally, I am amazed at how many times I transpose letters or skip over one or two letters because I didn't hit a key quite hard enough.

I think also that you are more likely to type in stream-of-though mode on the web rather than sitting down to compose a well structured letter. I constantly edit my posts because they are not always quite what I meant to say - or should have said.

No matter the cause. As long as I can make out what someone is trying to say, I can ignore the bad spelling, and bad grammar.

Look at your own post. Why did you capitalize both letters in the first word?

from the look of tire threads it looks like winter tires. edit: why bust the rear window? looks like you can still open the rear hatch.

As Viperfreak pointed out: This particular case of "bad grammar" is caused by an auto-translator program. The original article was probably written in German or French. And was then fed through a translator app (of which there are several), which resulted in the strange wording you saw above.

Lol, yup I saw that as soon as I clicked "submit reply".

All that white stuff in there the airbags? Looks comfy. The roof also looks remarkably intact.

There is something about a 555 horse power luxury SAV being so safe that gets me really excited.
