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?

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.

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

That is one strong roof. Well we got our 1st accident. I wonder if it will be a total or if its actually still drivable. (front wheel look bent in a bit) -steering?

Yea, look at the roof. Bet those people walked away from that.

Also notices that the side window air bags deployed, so I guess that the back window as broken out so that occupants could exit. It also looks like it still has it's performance tires in place. They are not all that happy in the cold.

Don't think those are performance (i.e. - summer) tires. Those are the 298M wheels, which are OEM BMW wheels, sold with (or without, for that matter) winter rubber.

Glad nobody was injured. Rollovers are no fun :(

Someone should grab that motor and stick it in a base model 3-series, leaving the 328 badge in place - the ultimate sleeper :D
