Got into a wreck with a e36 328i - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

SUB-FT86 · 06-24-2016, 09:24 PM

So on my way to work today a guy in a 97 328i started to ride on my bumper in a super aggressive way. I then decided it was time for me to get the hell out of this d-bags way or else something might happen to me. So I merged into the next lane when I saw an opening and he merged on my ass but what he didn't notice was that a minivan was coming out and I had to brake slightly to decrease speed. Long story short the fucker hit me!

His car now

at least his car looks much worse off than yours :s

hopefully it's just the bumper you have to replace, the trunk looks okay

Bumper skin, exhaust, reverse light assembly but what does the driver side rear quarter panel look like? You'll have to check the rear lower control arms and alignment too.

How about just slow down & let the fuker pass first so 2 of you don't have to put ppl/things near u 2 in danger too if shit goes wrong.. & you could have avoid all this.

Remember, trouble find you or not, you can choose what you gonna do.

To be fair he did say he was trying to get out of the e36's way but the beamer probably thought he wanted to race when it followed the lane change

Regardless of anything else, he rear-ended you so he's automatically in the wrong. No pun intended, but you are literally in the driver's seat on this one. You should be fully compensated for this. If your insurance company doesn't screw up royally, you should have your car fully repaired. Just DO NOT sign an injury waiver or settle for a pittance. Sometimes it can take weeks or months for back/neck pain to manifest itself from a rear end collision.

Sorry to hear about the accident OP. Doesn't sound like it was your fault.

BTW great looking car! Very tasteful mods. Hope it's fixed soon.

Someplace on a BMW forum:
"Well some punk in his cheap ass Toyota cut me off today..."

Doesn't look too bad hope it is fixed soon with no hassle.

This is why I don't like people driving on my ass. Usually I just begin to slow down and pit hazards on until the idiot backs off or overtakes me.

turtlefeeder · 06-25-2016, 01:11 AM

Welp, now ya get a free bumper xD make sure you wear a neck brace when you go to insurance office ^_<

I was actually doing the speed limit(45mph) but the person in the minivan saw me and continued to exit the intersection so I slowed down to about 30 mph to let the idiot who should've waited.
