LOL, someone on the Z3 forum thought it was me... almost like they presume i am a hooligan

Considering i've just fixed mine with a lot less damage than that i fear the guy is going to have a pretty big bill coming his way. Feel for the guy, never nice!

Not pretty. But mostly looks like panel damage. Looks like his biggest problem will be the months of waiting for a replacement front bumper.

Anyone told him about this forum? Keep himself occupied whilst waiting for the repairs!

Next time

You should have done... would have been good to meet the person who never posts anything sensible on M-Torque. Next time do come & say hello, I could have taken you out in the racecar.

Yes a little bit painful... if anyone gets his contact details pls send him my way, I would show him a cash bid for that car.

Although having a closer look..... that front wheel looks like its at an angle, could more damage there than just panel damage. It also looks like all the airbags deployed.

Not going to be a small repair bill that one!

And he may not have had track insurance.....

The wishbones are as soft as cheese, so if he has to replace one i wouldn't be surprised. You'd have to get the geometry done as a matter of course... it all adds up i'm afraid.

I made a few calls... apparently not insured, hasa colleague who's going to help him repair it. He doesn't sound interested in selling it to me to build a racecar.
