Let Us Hold A Minute's Silence For This 'Ring-Wrecked E39 BMW M5
The E39 M5 isn't an endangered species just yet, but regardless, it still hits us right in the feels to see one meet its end on the Nurburgring...
A commenter claiming to be the passenger in the BMW at the time of the crash said that the E39 “is repairable but it is damaged too much,” which we’re taking to mean the car is a write off. To add insult to injury, the crash also left the driver with a €1300 Armco repair bill.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

eurobeat intensifies
this should be at the top
Such a shame. How much does he want for it?

HOW IS THAT A WRITE-OFF ITS LITERALLY A COUPLE OF BENT PANELS AND ENGINE DAMAGE ITS NOT LIKE IT SELF COMBUSTED
The front subframe is probably bent, which is hard and expensive to fix. It is questionable whether a straightened subframe that has been bent previously will have its original strength again. Oh, an original BMW M parts are worth their weight in gold.
Noooooooooooooo
How much for the wheels?
Haha I’d be happy to take the whole car and fix it up
If its too far gone and the engine is not destroyed. It would make for an awesome swap. Imagine a 1 series powered by that V8…
I can take the engine
Insert Undertale game over song here
I really dislike the people just waiting for crashes and clapping for them, really wanting to entertain themself because of others misfortunes
this is not a misfortune, its an intentional crash, could have been completely avoided in the wet. Someone who loves their car wud immediately pull over to the side and turn off the car. He caused further damage. One simply does not put E60 m5 wheels on an E39 m5, when style 65 is one of the best looking wheels ever made. i know people with far worse crashes who fixed their car and has been running it for the past 10 years. goto m5 board u will see. 1300 hundred pounds and a totalled car is the least to pay when ur in a crash. some people are just lucky to be alive.
It’a just a bmw guys don’t wurry
you know nobody takes you serious with a bunch of miatas on your profile lol
how much for a headlight?
