3 Wheel M3

Well, This is what happens when you drive to fast on a corner. No matter how good your car is, there is always the curb....

Drive safe!

Damn That's sad to see. I love those E46 M3's. It'll be my next car for sure. They have such good power handling. But I guess if there's a dumb driver behind the wheel, the car isn't going to handle that little bit extra for ya.
What a shame.
Don't know what the story is behind those pics, so I can't judge that driver in particular incident. Who knows what caused it.
Poor M3
Cheers,

looks like it had brand new Gound Control coilovers on there too. wow Paul Miller-my father bought a couple Porsches from there and lots of friends got Audis and Porsches from them too in Parsippany.

He admitted his mistake, too fast sharp corner. Normally he is a pretty decent driver I do autoX and track events with him... just a lapse in judgement.

Yea.. coilovers were not very old at all....

Damn, that sucks. I'm surprised the airbags didnt deploy. Is that a carbon fiber bumper support I see?

Airbags did go off, and CF is standard on all M3's
