  • 2013 BMW M5 crash on German autobahn

    A new 2013 BMW M5 being driven at speeds of up to 186 mph on the A81 autobahn in Germany has suffered a violent crash.

The impact of the crash was so severe that components, including a wheel and attached damper, were flung many feet away from the car. According to a news summary picked up by BimmerPost, the...
