Let Us Hold A Minute's Silence For This 'Ring-Wrecked E39 BMW M5
The E39 M5 isn't an endangered species just yet, but regardless, it still hits us right in the feels to see one meet its end on the Nurburgring...
A commenter claiming to be the passenger in the BMW at the time of the crash said that the E39 “is repairable but it is damaged too much,” which we’re taking to mean the car is a write off. To add insult to injury, the crash also left the driver with a €1300 Armco repair bill.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

This made me and my E39 cry
I’m the only one here doubting that it’s a genuine M5 ? The wheel arches don’t seem that wide.
I expect to see it on mobile.de any moment now.
He deserves it for putting those rims on it. The stock E39 M5 wheels are awesome.
€1300 for Armco Repair Bill?
‘Tis but a scratch…
It appears that the driver had no real drifting skills and he/she tought that trying to learn in Nordschleife was a good idea?? Well, ok then.
That dude can’t drive for shizzle.
Looks like it’s fwd :p
well to be honest…he asked for it…
