Pics of 328i wrecked during Team USA driving event - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

This happened the other day while out on the test route. Apparently a little kid in a civic ran a red light, causing the guy test driving the 3 to sideswipe him.

Looks bad but he walked away unharmed, and it could have been a lot worse; he could have been t-boned...or driving something even more expensive, like a 650 or 750...

I hope the accident happened on the test route, other wise BMW will not cover it.

Is that at Classic in Plano?
Event was Tue, 5/22 and I was scheduled for the first 328i/A4 slot but had to cancel as I had to go on a last minute business trip.

That reminds me of when I had a similar experience with a Civic hitting the left front of my X5.. my car just felt as if there was a dip in the road, his car was spinning around.. my car, just some minor damage to the fender, his total loss xD

I wonder how the Civic looked like in the accident above..

Looks like that pedestrian safety feature helps save in repair costs as well. Looks like all that front end space saved the car from any engine/inter-cooler repairs. The lights still working and in tact... someone already beat me on the dibs for the zenons.

Right, this happened during the Plano drive event.

As an aside, you didnt miss anything by missing your slot. The a4 they had, a loaded s-line FWD model with cvt, was simply dreadful. When they asked what I thought when I returned, I just left it at 'no comment'.
