Oh boy, i'd be pissed at my friend!

The car wanted to end itself, it couldn't bear being a psuedo MSport with the painted trim

^ hahahaha

hey, at least the rain sensing windshield wipers turned on! looks like they are in the "up" position.

I don't think it is a 2012 as the article states, looks like a Pre-LCI, and I don't think it was $47.5?

looks like a bunch of work went into this thing........... only to get soaked in polluted waters...... the "friend" better have the funds for a replacement.

Outstanding reporting, as always, in the Daily News... :rolleyes:
'Luxury' SUV followed by $47,500. :confused:

The sticker on my getting older every day 2001 E53 was $48,000.

Wonder how much the ins co will cough up, esp with the 'unlicensed driver' backing the car/trailer into the river? :rofl:

ahem "ex-friend".

Who was the U-Boat commander?

At least it is still under warranty.
 

There may have been a malfunction which caused the X5 to suddenly accerate, like Toyota, except in reverse this time. Too bad he is quoted in the newspaper saying he fell ill and slammed on the accelerator.
