Tarp is covering the rear door handle. Air dam is a dead giveaway... also look at the side mirrors. The hood is popped up from the impact which gives it the sloping look of a 6er but "that ain't no sixer."

KingOfJericho · 08-06-2010, 03:09 PM

AHA!!! Look at the shape of the quarter panel! No chance it's a 6.

Too bad none of this counts toward my post count...

keanu1 · 08-06-2010, 03:09 PM

ah i see the second door handle now

Never mind the photo cues, how would you even fit four forty year old guys in a 6 series? OK it could be done, but that'd be a tight fit.

I am going to have to go with a 7er as well.

You, my friend, are a visual genius! Well articulated!

7 series LCI!

looks to me the front windshield areas, A and B pillars took the blunt of the impact. the front crumple zone is not even deformed, so that can possibly mean the airbags didnt even go off.... yikes decapitation.

yooooooo · 08-08-2010, 03:50 AM

it only looks like a 6 because the front end of the 6 resembles a smashed up 7.

2M · 08-08-2010, 07:21 AM

7er..compare bumper by foglight with the 6er picture and 7er picture...same as the 7 series

MisterSkiMask · 08-08-2010, 11:27 AM

sensationalized reporting

really, 3 people dead and 1 in serious condition after having the top of the car sheared off by an iron truck

what's to sensationalize?

cloakster · 08-08-2010, 02:33 PM

Its actually very fast speeds considering that its a construction zone. If i were driving through a 80kph construction zone with trucks close to the open lanes, i would be going 70-75kph.
