Goodbye X5 :(
I have been very busy lately but I recently lost my 04 X5 one month ago before Thanksgiving to a driver with no driver's license, insurance,the car is not registered to him, and is in America illegally
I was driving down the famous route Pacific Coast Highway in Southern California around 12:30 A.M when a 99' Audi A4 speeds out of a residential street (I estimate 30mph) , running a stop sign and drives right in front of me. I swerved from the second lane into the third lane but the Audi still made impact.
Contact was made onto my passenger side from the front bumper all the way to my back bumper, with no intrusion into the passenger compartment. My passenger rear tire took the blunt of the impact and my tire exploded. , which shifted the entire suspension. The front suspension was shifted to an 85 degree angle to the right while the back suspension was at a 70/75 degree angle to the right. The bottom B-pillar was bent as well.
My insurance paid me out at 14k for the X5 having under 90k miles.
I am a college student and my parents decided to give the X5 to me as a gift for it's superb perfection in a crash. I am sure glad I was driving an X5 but I am pissed I just bought new Michelin tire with only 4k miles put on and put 2k into repairs (Cooling fan, front right and left axle, window liner, new battery, etc...) these past to months just to lose it.
I do have a spare tire(Used from my sister who estimated 30k miles), towing hook, trunk privacy cover if anyone lives in the SoCal area.
