My E92 saved my life!!!!
Today I was going past an exit slip road with a cue of traffic in it on the m25. I was in the slow lane doing about 60-70 mph then all of a sudden some brainless impatient idiot pulls out the cue straight into my path leaving me no room or time to stop. I had no choice but to swerve at a real harsh angle around the car missing it by a hair going into the middle lane then swerving back into the slow lane so I didn't hit another car, thankfully I was on the ball at the time and had very quick reactions.
Anyway I was so so impressed with how my e92 did. The steering was amazingly response and the car controlled itself amazingly too. I had an astra vxr and a Nissan 350z before the e92 and I know both them cars would have lost it doing such a thing and so would a lot of other cars. I had such a near miss to being like this or if not worse all because of some . So thank you bmw for making such a brilliant car Last edited by essex_lad; 09-06-2013 at 05:02 PM.. |

In my 11yrs of bmw ownership i have had similar moments when the true build / automotive quality of the car demonstrates itself making you realise just how good they are! |

Sounds like some good reactions helped as well.
What happened to you is the reason why I will move into lane 2 when passing stationary traffic, you can never be sure of what some idiot will attempt |

Thanks Gaza and I used to sit in the middle lane when passing slip roads but there's that stupid law where you can get a fine for sitting in the middle lane On a motorway so I'm weary of doin it.
