The Taurus is a very safe vehicle, so I'm assuming decent

Glad to hear you are okay, especially from such a high speed impact. The fact that you sustained only minor injuries and the pictures show how well the structure of the X5 was designed to withstand impacts like this. The A-pillar especially took a lot of stress, from the impact and then the rollover.

I am really sorry this happened to you, and at the same time I am amazed every time I see wreck pics like this. Walking away from a head-on like this is truly remarkable.

Hope you get well soon!

Wow! Glad you're okay. Definitely a plus driving a BMW

Make sure you get a follow up on your injuries. I got sideswipped by an 83 year old lady with Coke bottle glasses once and it took a month or so before the worst of my back pain happened.

So sorry for what happened to you and your car but so glad you are ok. Walking away with very minor injuries from such crash is nothing less than a miracle.

You know, if I were you, I would pry that Roundel off the hood, and keep it as a good luck token, as well as a reminder to always count my blessings...again, you are a VERY lucky man!

Glad you're OK.

Sounds like the Ford Taurus is an incredibly safe vehicle.

Good to hear the BMW assist still worked. I love the option and will be keeping it. Nice to know that if your wreck on a deserted roadway... there is at least a chance some help can be sent your way if you cannot call.

Please do take more shots of the interior!! Nice to see that side airbag is so large!! It covered the entire rear window!

Glad to hear you're OK! And thanks for giving us the confidence in our X's if the worst case wreck should occur.
Keep us posted on your recovery and purchase of your new X5. By the way, are you optioning your second E70 any differently than your first?
