Our beautiful Msport 335i in its chops

[MACHINE]

After an awesome Sunday morning breakfast and drive thru the winelands with the family our day ended like this...



200m away from home, a learner driver being thought how to drive, lost control of her car whilst turning, mistook the gas pedal for the brake and rammed into our adopted black baby twice. The first time hitting the front wheel and breaking the control arm and ripping the front runflat. Her car then bounced back and again rammed into my door. The BM's windows blow out, windscreen scattered and airbags deployed...fortunately tho my little one who always crys to sit with his mom in the front was seated in the rear and suffered no injuries along with his mom except alittle shock from the huge impact. I suffered some muscle spasms and slight cuts and bruises to my hands, shoulder and back but nothing too serious. My darling wife is shattered as her car is fcuked...:nonono:

 

[Sabretooth tiger]

jeez, that's bad dude. Just glad you all safe and fine.

 

[Ephraimramodike]

So sorry man.

Was the learner driver alone or with an instructor? How could the instructor let this happen? :argh:

 

[zaleonardz]

And from the looks of it, thats a write off

No instructer, I think it was her boyfriend. Car is at BMW now awaiting confirmation of damages ect...

 

[abmi0000]

:wtf: At least no one got hurt but someone deserves a slap :nonono:

 

[symmat001]

That is unfortunate!

Main thing is that you and your family are okay.

Learner driver, ah, just makes it worse because you know its from inexperience but how else does one learn!

 

[///MALCOLM325]

Glad the family is ok.

Those pictures are just depressing

 

[Peter@AEW]

Glad that you are all ok.
Pity about the youngster

 

[JENICH]

Thank god the family is all okay, even more so that that little one was in the back.
Cars are material things and can be replaced, life, you cannot.
Thank goodness you guys are all okay

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

Wha a twat.
Maybe now that learner will stay off the roads, I think it's safer that way!

Thanks guys, family cannot be replaced thats why I consider it a fortunate accident as no one was really injured.

But I would have preffered to fcuk up the car doing something stupid myself, then I know it was my fault but like this is just silly. As you can see from the pic, we were coming up to the Stop...we were travelling less than 20km when it happened.

 

[Sareshan]

Sorry

Glad you and your family safe...

As long as family is fine! :thumbs:

But I don't understand why the "boyfriend" would teach the woman how to drive in a place like that, especially if she really can't drive. I mean, if a person confuses an accelerator pedal with a brake pedal, then I don't think they can drive at all.... better to take that person to a remote location until they're good enough to be on public roads...

I've taught both my elders sisters how to drive as well as a few female friends... and I also did it in remote locations first until I'm comfortable that they can go on a public road.

Hope you get the car sorted soonest bud...
Take care.

:nonono: really great that you and your family are fine! :thumbs:

Ok... now seriously? Learner driving without another licenced driver, let alone an instructor? I cannot believe how the rim has litterally broken on the mini too? :fencelook: :nonono: :argh:

Hope the insurance / replacement process goes smoothly! :thumbs:

 

[graan13]

So depressing!!
Glad all ok with the family.

Just an interesting thing for me that I was not aware of and thats the front fenders on your car appear to be plastic the way its broken over the wheel arch. Is that fact with the E92 coupe? Correct me if wrong.

 

[Twinz]

Horrible. And for her to do it twice is damn rediculous...she obviously cant drive.

Sorry man. Glad the family is fine

 

[Chismakop]

Thanks goodness no one was injured due to none consideration from other road users. Sorry about your car:argh:

 

[herr bmw]

sorry to hear bud,glad you and the familly are all right

 

[Dr Evil]

Im glad you and the family are safe :thumbs: but HTF did she take a chunk out of your fender as well as her wheels.
