E28 M5 crashed this morning
Discussion
On the way to work this morning in Hertfordshire I unfortunately came across an e28 M5 'beached' at a right angle on a grass bank down a small lane. A closer look as I drove by showed the side was caved in and wrapped around a tree. There were a couple in a new black BMW 1M nearby who I assume were the owners. All looked ok so I drove on to work.
A bit of internet research this morning leads me to think it is the car pictured below, a mint, magazine featured example owned by a local BMW enthusiast who also owns a black 1M amongst other M finery. I also see his purple 540i touring parked up every morning.
If it is his car I hope the occupants were ok and that the car can be restored, though that looks like a big, expensive job. Hope the insurance is for an agreed value and another great 80s BMW isn't scrapped.

Yep that was what I saw this morning, sad sight. Glad his wife is ok, most important thing.
Shame as he seemed to be a real enthusiast and that looked a mint example.
On a side note, jeez you can find out alot very quickly on the internet with just a little bit of info! All I had to go on was an M5 and the location and I soon found all his threads and had a great read about his other cars over lunchtime!
