03 e53 totaled

[M6X]

Hi, someone turned left in front of me at intersection. i was going straight. I swerved left to avoid collision but still hit the other car's rear passeger door. I was going at about 60km/hr, impacted at probably 50km/hr. damages at the right front side of the car. Insurance decided to total it.

My point is that the x5 is a great vehicle because i didn't feel a thing during impact. just a "bump" that's it.

Sorry to hear that. What's your replacement vehicle going to be?

Glad you are okay though! Sorry to hear, but at least it was a less-hassle "just total it" from the insurance company. Replacement will be another BMW I suppose?

(Pics would be mildly interesting if you have them btw)

Glad to hear you are ok. Great engineering.

Sorry to hear about the accident, but the important thing is that you are OK

it's a real bummer to lose a nice car like the X. But it's nice to know that you were protected so well. once in a while i think about selling mine and getting something a bit more economical but then i realize that those savings could cost my life or that of my wife and i come to my senses.
just out of curiosity, what did you hit and how did it fare? what did the other driver say, i didn't see the humongous X5 coming??
glad you're okay. that's the most important of all.

the other car was a honda suv. the honda driver was in a hurry, and didnt look thoroghly. its rear wheel went "diagonal" so i guess the rear axle was broken / bent.
