The word "kills" appears in the description. I wonder what that means? From the photos the inside held together pretty well.

Holy Crap! Well, what happened, I would guess one stopped and the other stopped about 6 feet too late. You are right, it does look like it held up well, considering.

Oh well, let's look in the bright side, at least the engine is still good.

But that is really a nasty rear ended. I hope the person is okay from the whip lash. Hmmz.. is there some vanilla coke in there??

Did a bull it hit? Toro!

The rear of that car is absolutely destroyed. Repairs would cost beyond reasonable consideration.

It was in the link that took me to that page. At first I thought it meant something but then there was another one that had just been side-swiped and said the same thing.

Well a tractor does need good low-end torque and the V6 230 isn't the way to get that. But you might want to steal the N54 from the 135i if you plan to break in.

Just know that you might get away with the engine, but you'll be walking with a limp.

Wow, I am not sure I would want ANY parts from a car that was hit that hard. It may have overstressed every bolt and fastener on the entire car. Even the engine may have damage (hitting the firewall, etc.).

Since there is essentially no visible front end damage, that car must have gone flying forward a huge distance after the impact.

I'm sure it was totaled. I've seen much less damage on a W203 that has been totaled.

Anyway, I'm sure it was a terrorist attack... Damn you Al Qaeda!
