Oh shi... a bimmer drove off a small cliff.

dryicerx · 05-06-2011, 11:11 AM

So I was coming in to work... and I see in our parking lot.

This guy works in the same company as I do. It's such a clean and perfect 335i. Surprisingly there's not a single scratch or dent on the car...

He says the car launched unprovoked when he was trying to park... maybe like a surge? I am not sure if it was a M or AT.

sk8board511 · 05-06-2011, 11:12 AM

looks like if they take it off there right it wont have any damage at all

Hopefully...

...still very possible impact of the left wheel could have caused suspension damage.

ragingclue · 05-06-2011, 11:16 AM

That front end had to have hit with some impact.... There may be damage not visible from afar.

How does it "launch unprovoked"? Or was it just residual from too much Cinco de Mayo?

hmmcolor · 05-06-2011, 11:18 AM

It's cool, it's right on the jack point.

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 05-06-2011, 11:20 AM

IDK about not damage but definitely lucked out quite a bit.

GarySL · 05-06-2011, 11:48 AM

Agreed, that's a small cliff.

kyleb350 · 05-06-2011, 11:55 AM

Probably didn't realize he had it in 1st when letting the clutch out to park. That's quite a launch though

Brey335i · 05-06-2011, 11:58 AM

If it's auto... I bet he was in D when he thought he was in R

ADV.1 Matt · 05-06-2011, 12:00 PM

Wow! I hope they take their time pulling it off so they don't destroy the undercarriage pulling it back up into the parking lot.

Keep taking pics as they remove it if you can! I'm interested to see how they get it out of there!

ChasVS · 05-06-2011, 12:03 PM

Aw come on. Another case of car launched all by itself? Please people, take responsibility for your damn actions!

monkawekrue · 05-06-2011, 12:09 PM

Damn that sux. Hopefully car is fine.

Weebl · 05-06-2011, 12:10 PM

Sorry, it isn't a Toyota.
I bet it is a manual and no faults recorded.

tirana · 05-06-2011, 12:10 PM

Shee-ite. That is one embarrassing predicament: unless it was an Xi and he was simply testing out its vaunted X-country capabilities. Or maybe he was trying to avoid bumping into dryicerx

This is funny

You do realize that Toyota was cleared of that nonsense, right?

Michael Schott · 05-06-2011, 02:09 PM

There must be damage to the undercarriage. The car went over the side and the suspension surely compressed enough for the bottom of the car to hit the wall. Hopefully it's not too bad. Let us know what happens.

michael1284 · 05-06-2011, 02:34 PM

I'd like to know how they are going to bring it out of that position lol
