it looks more like a 1 to me

VVA330 · 10-30-2008, 01:13 PM

damm! just in time before it roll out into traffic. phewwww.

JIM E92 · 10-30-2008, 01:15 PM

Nice job catching it.

JIM E92 · 10-30-2008, 01:16 PM

I guess it begs the question, do we have power assisted brakes when the ignition is off?

mroach · 10-30-2008, 01:21 PM

Wow, he did a pretty good job catching it. That said, how the heck do you let that happen? It's some natural reflex for me to put the car in gear before turning it off and using the e-brake if I'm on a slope of any kind.

BK · 10-30-2008, 01:26 PM

Wow. Dangerously close to killing or maiming himself there at the end. Nice catch. Definitely a 1er.

it's a repost, look on the first page of the general forum. We don't have power brakes if the car isn't on because there is no vacuum to make the power brakes work. E brake is the way to go.

Arustik1 · 10-30-2008, 01:47 PM

its a ONE SERIES where do u see a e46 coupe..did u watch the same video??

mcacciola · 10-30-2008, 02:33 PM

It is an E46.
See closely last frames of the video when the car is on its side and will see the distinctive wheels and the front lights and kidneys.

BTW... I guess it was not an Auto, but a manual gearbox left on neutral.

Lol, some of you are funny. Its a first generation I believe.. E46, not ONE SERIES. look closely at the vid. Those are e46 tail lights with the yellow in it... and this video is very old, older than when the 1 series came out.

Oh and 1-series have round side mirrors.. not square.. and does not have any yellow amber refector on the tail area

bsamoul · 10-30-2008, 03:22 PM

Ya that is not a 1 series.

Wow, that guy really does do an incredible job at cathing it. Ballsy too because he almost got pulled underneath and run over by his own car. I wonder if the car hitting that curb and trampling those trees did any damage to the suspension/bumper?

vAnt826 · 10-30-2008, 04:53 PM

People are blind. Thats obviously an E46.

It's a E46. If it were a one series I wish it had been smashed.
