The driver certainly seemed in good spirits considering he just totaled a brand new $90K car....

hes alive and cars are heaps of metal and bolts. Just get ur check from your insurance company and head off and get your second new M5! No reason to get bent out of shape over a smashed up car. Its already smashed up so being angry wont solve anything.

Things happen and had he been in say a Z-06 things would most likely not have ended so well.

German cars dont just drive well, they are extremely strong, and for the most part they are very stable.

Glad hes ok!
