Updated w/ pics: I almost died last night..

So I almost killed my self in a roll over accident in my new M3 I got a little too confident and rolled it at a afirly high speed. But I got out and walked away with not one scratch and just a little pain on my shoulder from the seatbelt. I know I will only buy BMW's now that car is extremely safe I wonder how my G would have done in the same situation. But it doesn't matter I'll be getting something slower I got my final warning from god last night basically I could have died I guess I didn't learn my lesson with my 100+ mph ticket in January. But this was definetly a wake up call.

Wow...i've only done one stupid thing in my M3 so far. I know what you mean when you say you'll back off. I usually turned DSC off more than half the time. Now I keep it on most of the time unless I plan on doing something more spirited. I think you should still think about the M3, just be a bit more careful when driving it. She can bite! Just give it a week to try to shrug it off and learn about what happened. How did you roll over anyways? Did you slide into a curb and it flipped you up? Whenever i'm in my M3 it feels like it can never roll over. Oh well, good luck to you.

Sorry to hear about this Jonathan. The most important thing is that you are not hurt; cars can be replaced, people can't. Did this happen on Stunt?

This has to be one of the most ignorant comments I've seen on this forum...He's admitting that what he's been doing is overboard, he never mentioned that it was cool...The guy almost died here...Many of us have done some crazy things in our cars, and we don't think twice about it because we never have this type of experience...By him coming on this forum and telling us this story, I guarantee he may just have saved a couple other lives...Its definitely a wake up call...Glad to hear that your ok, I agree its definitely time for you too tone it down...Bring that kind of speed to the track...Gluck with everything..

It's not an ignorant comment...driving so fast that you get a ticket for 100mph is ignorant...A smart person would of learned by that point. What kind of lives is he saving? If anything...he's endangering other people lives on the road. I guess it only occurred to him to wake up cuz he almost died... sad that it took something to almost happen to you before you wake up. If you dont like my comment dont read. It's a public forum..I'm entitled to my opinion.

Hey, some people need more than a slap on their hand to learn a lesson.

Fat people know they're morbidly obese, see themselves as fat michelen men everyday, know they're going to die early, but still eat KFC and Taco Bell everyday. It's not enough for them to learn their lesson. Til that one day when a stroke or a heart attack hits em and then they learn their lesson.

It wasn't an ignorant comment that Xena made. She's entitled to her opinion.
G35Tuning, if anything you're in the wrong for that statement. Him telling us a story won't save our lives or defer other people from doing something just as crazy if not more. If anything, if he sticks to his new outlook on life, he'll be putting less people in danger barrelling down the highway at 100+ mph.

I havent had any accidents on my G, but I learned my lesson when my University charged me 150$ for wreckless driving (drift and 60mph on a 15 school zone). Thank god it wasnt the real cops who saw it cuz then Id be paying more on my already expensive 300$ per month ensurance.
