Re: Wnna see some wicked M5 pics..........
this actually happens close to where i live in Taiwan.
i think this might be one of the very first M5 in Asia Pacific, if not the first. it arrived Taiwan last week, the accident happened just few days after it past Taiwanese car inspection. so at the time when accident happened, the car only has temporary testing license plate, and has no insurance on the car (Taiwanese car insurance is on car, rather than driver like North America). and the accident happened during a magazine road test against E55 AMG.
the driver was trying to take a corner with very uneven road surface, and lost the backend, hit the divider, flip the car 3 and a half rotations, and stopped by a tree. 3 passengers were in the car, 2 of which walk away without a single scratch, 1 has a minor scratch on his arm.
car is total, as it's structure is damaged beyond repair, but no one was seriously hurt. M5 is defintley a very safe car.
the magazine that's responsible for this on the other hand, will have to pay for the car, which worth a bit more than 200k USD. since there car didn't have insurance yet at the time of the accident.
