As a fellow E36 owner (non-M), my heart momentarily stopped when Mike S. sent us this link to BimmerForums, where one member had a close encounter of the multi-spoke kind while driving down I-880 near San Jose, CA. The wheel apparently fell off another vehicle going in the opposite direction on the freeway, hit the center divider and flew into the air, landing with a tremendous amount of force onto the roof of kpipalldaway2's incredibly clean M3. Judging by the lack of damage to the rest of the vehicle, he was able to pull off the road safely, but even more amazingly, he only suffered a broken shoulder and some cuts from the broken glass. While it's sad to see such a pristine example destroyed by such a gaudy piece of rolling stock, it gets worse. The M3 driver was on a basketball scholarship and his broken shoulder may have put an end to his game days.

Hooray, yet another reason to dislike stupid-sized rims and the idiots that use them.

Maybe this will make the DONK style cars unsafe and not street legal. Wahoo!

[Ran]

Maybe this will make the DONK style cars unsafe and not street legal. Wahoo!That'd be nice. Follow that up by getting rid of these retards with trucks lifted to stupid heights and we'll be set.

people who donk usually dont strengthen anything, they just throw some 30s on w/ no strengthened wheel studs and let it go...retards

I saw it over there yesterday, pretty crazy ****. Maybe Cory'll finally get a manual M3 this time :) Foreal though, I can't believe that happened and he really is lucky to be alive.

the wheels aint that big.. i was expecting something huge like a 26 or bigger.. looks no bigger then a 24... hell a 22 to me... you can find that on most SUV's... donks are now considered... 26's or bigger.... was a nice ride though.. sorry to hear about that.. glad he's ok

Yeah, it'd make sense to buy it back, as he could sell the engine for ~2,500 alone, not to mention some of the other body pieces and aftermarket parts.

[Jason..]

Thats not the point!!!Big wheels stock 20 year old parts=unsafe and should be made to pass inspection by me,Obama,Ronald Mcdonald or Jesus before as they say "Roll out and donk it up"

[TheProfiteer]

I dont know about yall, but boy do I feel sorry for that E36 M3, that thing was gorgeous!!!

[Johnny Chimpo]

Looks like a 20" knock off wire wheel.

[EJ25RUN]

People should be allowed to do what ever they want to their cars as long as it's safe. Donk wheels just don't seem to be safe to me. I.ve never seen one that didn't lool like it was about to tip over.

Man that had to be a terrifying experience.

[RUFFIAN]

That really sucks ass. Maybe he can salvage the car and turn it in to a vert. I just hope he can recover and play ball again. I would so own the a$$holes life for ruining mine.

[DecoyOctopus]

Hooray, yet another reason to dislike stupid-sized rims and the idiots that use them.im not a big fan of huge rims but ppl that have big rims dont necessarily have to be idiots, maybe theyre idiots since they dont tighten their lug nuts

[Sol-Badguy]

That's the worst thing I've seen in a while.
