Ooops.

[Justices]

The simple solution is to issue Kensington & Chelsea racing licenses and seal off Green Park, Kensington Gore and High Street Ken. Easy

[Vipers]

Give him a ticket as well for being parked on double reds.

[iandc]

At least he can get it resprayed in a decent colour!!

Seriously I know, can't believe I didn't get it last week; although in my defence I wasn't in central London on Thursday night so I wouldn't have got a video.

Short article on all this in the Standard last night.

[Vipers]

At least something "interesting" happened in London, makes a change these days.

[v-twins]

Probably had the money in his back pocket to fix all cars involved and pay all fines, rescue services and any other hiden costs for such an incident.

I blame the poor roads in England.

Looks like he hit or was hit by that white QP (which the article described as a white BMW typical journos ).

Nope, its a QP.

- bonnet badge is infront of the bonnet shut line.
- indent in midline where the grille has fallen out
- 3 side air inlets
- QP door mirrors
- QP rear 3/4

go compare with similar photos of a M5

Nope, definitely M5. 100%.

Easiest way to prove it - the grille and bumper are both missing. The bonnet badge is on the M5, but on a QP it's on the bumper. And it can't be a standard 5 series as it has the wing vents.

Alternatively, see how in the crash pic the wing vents are lined up with the door handles, beneath the crease line along the side profile. On the QP they're above the crease line.

That'll do.

On the QP the badge is on the bumper with a slight notch in front. The shut line on the bonnet is behind the badge. This is evident on the photo. On the BMW the badge is on the bonnet. Your photo is of the facelift QP, the one in the photo is the 2004-2008 version.

Definqtely m5

Check the wing mirrors with the half carbon on underside.
Masser my arse

Should have gone to specsavers

[diablo_pete]

From the article "This latest crash in the UK’s Capital has led to residents from the area’s where the supercar owners like to cruise launching a campaign to get rid of the supercars"

As the M5 caused the crash, good luck to them banning BMWs

The 'shut line' you're referring to is either a compression artifact of the low-res jpg format, or a reflection. Either way, compare it with the top of the bonnet near the windscreen.

Now, on ALL QP's the badge is on the bumper, above the grille, such as on this 2004 model. Clearly, the entire bumper piece (grille included) is gone as a whole which would invariably take the badge with it - if it were a QP. And, oh look, it leaves the exact M5 bonnet shape, curves for kidney bean grilles included, left behind. And the badge is on the bonnet.





HTH

Its an M5. Now move along, nothing to see here...
