Did all the safety stuff work? Like the doors are supposed to unlock, flashers are supposed to turn on, interior lights, etc... I know, geeky of me but I think it's pretty cool that BMW thinks of those things. |

Man that sucks a lot. Good to hear you're ok though, cars can always be replaced.
Willing to part out shadowline trim?

That's a ton of damage, and not even a wrinkle in the A pillar or door skin. Glad you are OK. Looks like the car protected it's passenger well!

Update - 4/29/13
Got a call from Police Dept saying they have to do a full investigation as the old lady passed away late Friday night apparently. Reason/cause is unknown at the moment. |

That is very sad. It looks like it was a pretty major hit. She may have had internal injuries. |

Glad to hear this! At first when you said "the old lady passed away" I thought you were talking about the person that hit you. After all, you did use "the old lady" to describe both your car and the person that hit you.

this sucks OP. glad that you're ok but that sucks for the lady. i would have been pretty pissed to be in your shoes but the little good in me (whatever amount that is, heh) will imagine the older lady to be a close friend or even family member as a sobering thought. sad. i think licensing needs to be way more strict, not just for the elderly as driving is a right, not a privilege. having spent the past year in scandinavia, i' was very impressed with their licensing requirements. first, you can be licensed as capable to drive stick shift, as opposed to just auto. second, the driving school (required for everyone) is very thorough. long distance driving, night driving with obstacles, rain driving, and if you're "lucky" like me, snow on exam day! lastly, the driving school and exams are expensive so you're going to take the time and effort to properly learn and pass the exam. amazing what can be accomplished without the entitlement mentality.

Agreed. You can (and will) replace the car. That was probably someone's grandmother, mom, friend, etc. that is no longer around. Her fault or otherwise it's a bit insensitive.

Fixed it after i had heard. At the time I originally posted she was doing okay and i was heated because it was shortly after the accident.

Thanks, its definitely not easy, just trying to stay hopeful and awaiting the police report to see if I'm in the clear as I believe I should be.
