We jest but it's sad to see the beautiful red x5 smashed. Also hoping no significant human injuries. X5 is a great car to get t-boned. Look at how little damage! It takes a lot to shove a 6000# car around. The mass and high Cg compared to average cars really gives us an upper hand.

Tires are Blizzak so they are Snow Tires. I can only go on what the OP posted. Can't Assume anything because we all know what Assume means.

Turn one at Road America is a hard right hander. That toe in is not going to help you.

We roll through turn one at Road America at nearly 100 MPH. Hardly a hard right hander...

Yes 168's are in my garage those are the Moda with winter tires and they are going with it to copart.

I'm not parting it, they wanted $2k for buy back and are hassling me about value. Say it's only worth $10,600 at 120k miles.

But I put Bilstein/HR, new rear differential and just did valve stems in the last two years... Ugh

Sounds about right man.
Although you could argue that imolas are rare and harder to find. More sought after.

You can argue but they have the tables. Color already factored in. Bummer that expensive repairs are not

This is a shame. Sorry to hear of the loss.

I would have bought that truck from you if closer. I could use some of those body panels for my 4.8is.
