    I have always loved the #bmw #x3m Competition but never been able to afford one. But with these cars depreciating quickly I just about had a chance to be able to if I can find one in really bad shape... and here it is!
    This car has been badly crashed giving it intense structural damage on the chassis legs, sub frame and inner wings. The big question mark with this car hangs over the engine as it is almost empty of oil and we are praying it has not been ran like this!

    Chris I was not expecting this as the next project. I'm super excited to see what you have in store for the X3M as it's such an underated / undocumented vehicle for mods etc. I have a modded 2021 X3M so would be great to run them when your finished or happy to pick up if you want to see / experience in person.

    Ballsy choice Chris considering the amount of structural damage.But i applaud your choice.Looks like it will be a good looking car once it’s done.Like you probably did under your breath,i gave it a little “yes” 👍🏻👊🏻 when it started and didn’t sound rough,knocking etc.Looks like the rear passengers hit the front seats and buckled them upon impact as others have said.Looking forward to the next update on the re-build.

    Come On! Engine sounds sweet! The front end did its job, absorbed as much of the impact as it could and sent the rest around the car, and prevented the engine from being pushed back and the energy going through the occupants, but if the front passenger wasn’t wearing a seatbelt in that they would definitely have injuries.

    I had a van go into my old Peugeot while I was at a standstill, hit me at 40mph and I'm a bigger lad - the impact of the seat belt throwing me back into the seat was enough to bend them. So I'm guessing it's either hit something at speed or the driver was a bigger person like myself haha (Hoping they weren't too badly hurt)
    Looking forward to see you work through this though!
