I'm sure it'll buff right out.

Our cars just became a little more rare.

Observations:

Roof/Other body parts look like they were cut off by the jaws of life, don't know if it's quite as bad as it looks.

- Enthusiast owned, had clear corners
- Did not have ZCW or ZPP packages, probably a 2003?

I just scoured wreckedexotics site. They put the ZHP in the M3 section.

Here's what they said about it:

2003 BMW M3

Description:
Driver tried to beat a train at a crossing but as you can see, he failed.

Location:
Czech Republic

I think it's every bit as bad as it looks and then some.

Right side of the car is totally mangled. Huge impact forces in this wreck.

Looks like maybe a high speed yaw into a fixed object.

Edit: or a train, lol. Nice research work, Mark.

Ugly wreck to be sure.

Id imaging that the driver, and any potential passengers didn't feel a thing, or even see it coming. wow

Outside of the tragic passing of a brother ZHP (not to mention the people in the car), I'm LMAO at that quote.

Clear corners because it's a euro-spec car. Look at the surrounding cars; all of those are Europe-only. That euro Focus is a dead giveaway, as well as the front license plate bracket/frame.

I am not going to ever feel sorry for people like this. They should know better, and if they think they can beat a train at a crossing and get hit and die, they deserve it. I do feel bad for any passengers that may be involved as they most likely had no choice in the matter (unless they were egging the driver on), but the driver gets no sympathy from me.

I knew a guy who raced a train. He lost. I couldn't feel sorry for the guy. He died doing what he enjoyed (racing trains, I guess).

Ok, I assume no headlight washers is the giveaway on the ZCW but how are you determining it doesn't have the Premium Package? I'm stumped.

It seems like alot of ZHP's didn't have the ZPP for some reason and not just the 03's where it wasn't offered yet. Whenever I look at ads for ZHP's I always look for the adjustable lumbar and more often than not they don't have it......I wish mine did.
