BMW: 0 vs Bronco: 1 (rear end incident)

[Mr_Scoutmaster]

5k + lbs vehicle vs maaaybe a 3k lbs vehicle. And vehicles are meant to crumple to absorb impacts. BMWs consistently have 5 star crash test ratings, the 3 series is no exception there.

Make sure it didnt tweak the tailgate and spare mount when it dove under. It probably pushed up on the spare.

Well this month just seems to be never ending with the excitement with the bronco First the tie rod and now this…

Last night I was coming home with a friend and we got rear ended at a red light by a speeding beemer.

Luckily no major damage aside from the rear bumper, scratches on the muffler, and the trunk strut is broken but that’s it. Unfortunately can’t say the same for the girls bmw. Apparently she had just gotten it yesterday as a graduation present so I felt really bad for her

Pictures:

Is that a plastic bumper? I was rear ended a few weeks back, but not really going very fast, and the lady behind me in a Mercedes didnt fair well with my FabFours Vengence Bumper. That thing is solid and didnt even move.

Upon a closer look the Bronco is damaged beyond repair. I will only charge you $100.00 to salvage for you. I think this is the best way to calm your heart.

Call me at 904-867-5309.

Seriously. Sorry about this. Feel bad for all involved.

lol yeah I’m just so glad no one was hurt and my bronc was okay (mostly)

Sorry for your continuing headaches. Not your best week, apparently.

Check your tie rods. They’re probably broken.

yes it was the plastic one unfortunately. I’m pretty sure if it was metal the worst damage would’ve been a couple of scrapes. Would you recommend the fab fours one? I’m looking at upgrading

“hey insurance can you pay for two new tie rods? I know it looks like it was all back end damage but I promise I need new tie rods too…”

hopefully I’ll have some spares!!

Bumper height mismatch.

I’ve read a lot of the IIHS studies about traffic accidents and mortality. The two biggest factors are vehicle weight and height mismatch. The Bronco is objectively safer than just about any non-SUV/truck

You have Cactus Gray/Cyber Orange chameleon paint? Lol from the BMW hazards signal reflection in the first pic.

Obligatory please get your tailgate looked at by a professional.

I did a double take on that as well.

No visible damage to the tailgate from the spare being forced forward?

I have a bronco chameleon!!

nothing visible, I went out and checked a few mins ago and it looks like the spare wasn’t even touched. It was in perfect shape. Looks like her nose went under the bumper and just missed the spare

I would absolutely recommend that bumper
