Exclamation New M3 vs a hard object




What a plank, and to think it was an BMW emloyee also.

800 miles on the clock, this ladies and gentlemen, is why some of us dont buy Ex-Demos

private plate so unlikely to be a demo.
Only private plates I have seen on dealer cars are,

Vines Guildford C1 BUY

Sytner putting say M3 ABC, etc plates on desirable hard to get demos so they can sell the car for list price and the plate for say £3,000 and you have to buy the car and plate.

Carlos, I think we will see more of these shots and sadly will be how a lot of M3's will end up.

Ouch, nasty and expensive. With it being a private plate, do you think it was a customers car that a BMW employee has trashed?

They swerved to avoid hitting a weeping willow tree approaching from the opposite direction,and hit a lampost that was reversing into a parking space.

Easily done.

OUCH

Bet he had to get out the 'book of good excuses' for that one, lol

lot of dealers are using private plates at the moment also - my mate works for Blue Bell BMW in Crewe - they have a range of ** BBC plates (BlueBellCrewe) - He came home in a new model M-sport X5 the other day and you can guess that plate - Their M3 demo also has a similar plate on it.

it's a bit harsh you all assume he's a plank and it's the fault of the driver...

He could have been minding his own buisiness wishing he had a really fast car like a procede e93, then got hit by an out of control bus...

Guarantee that any shots of crashed cars on one forum, with a reasonable excuse, get nicked, reposted and the driver unfairly criticised for being a tool...

Accidents happen guys



scratch 1 M3
