Location: Kingsway, heading SE, between Sidney + Gladstone
Cars invovled:
- Black Cayenne S, Plate number: 508 HXC (guys who hit me)
- White E92 M3 (mine)
Road had 3 lanes, I was traveling in middle lane. There was a ford flex in front of me, stopped, with emergency blinkers on, trying to load up passengers (which is illegal because this should happen on the far right lane).
Far left lane was full of oncoming traffic, so I had to wait for the Flex to finish loading up. I was fully stopped, with emergency blinkers on as well, waiting for an opportunity to merge into the far left lane to continue proceeding.
Next thing I know, a black cayenne rammed into the rear end of my car out of nowhere. The impact was severe:
- Cayenne's nose is completely flat with smoke and liquid coming out. Both airbags were popped.
- My car's rear end was completely destroyed. I had an instant headache and felt dizziness.
I exited the car immediately to inspect the damage and obtain the other driver's information. 2 Asian guys came out of the Cayenne (Viet, by the languages they speak), both looking drunk.
The driver was about 5'6", around 35-40, didn't speak English. He saw me calling the police, and tried to stop me from doing so.
The passenger was about 5"9", around 25-28, spoke a little English. He immediately denied he was 1) he was in the car and 2) he knows the driver.
I called the police right away, and while I was doing so, these 2 guys fled scene!
Fortunately there was a police car right across the street, and 3 new ones arrived within minutes. Then firemen and tow trucks also arrived.
There was at least 1 security guard on site who witnessed the 2 Asian guys running away from the scence, and provided this evident to the police. Police also took my statement and photos, and gave me file number.
I already filed a claim to ICBC, and have an appointment on Monday.
I am looking for potential witness here on RS who was driving by / saw this incident. I need your help please.
At least it sounds like ICBC will side in your favour for sure, since they rear-ended you. Good thing you got their license plate. Might want to get checked out by a doctor ASAP
bastards......how did they leave with the car smoking and liquids flowing from under?....i couldnt imagine they got too far before the car overheating.
The 2 Asian guy fled on foot and left the car there. They fled the scene most likely to avoid being tested for drinking and driving.
OP is a very good friend of mine and he just took delivery of his new E92 M3 YESTERDAY, so it really sucks to hear about this. The good thing is that there are a few witnesses who saw the entire incident and has given their statements to the police. Let's hope for the best.
OP is also a very good friend of mine. he called me right away, but since i was out i couldnt have went back to get a proper camera... but here is what i got when i got to the scene
sigh and this was a quick 10min shoot in my apartment garage abt 3 hours b4 the accident....
Spoiler!

I was, and still am very traumatized. I JUST picked up the car 6 yesterday, and I have been working hard for her for years. I am drastically shocked and depressed at the moment.
I have a headache and neck pain, and just came back from hospital. Going for a CT scan tomorrow.
I am going to sue these bastards as hard as I could. CBC wants to see me in Monday, and the car will be repaired by No.1 collision in richmond. I am not sure if it's repairable though, as I did not hear the cayenne braking at all, they simply rammed into me, under influence of alcohol.
One more thing: my M3 is dual clutch transmission. I assume this mean car's transmission MUST be in Neutral when being towed on the front wheels, right?
I am not sure if the tow truck driver put the car in Neutral when he towed the car last night. I am thinking of going to the yard again tomorrow to put the car in neutral, so at least it will be in this state when being towed to the body shop next week?

Doesnt the M3 have an electronic gear selector? How will you put it into neutral without the transmission choosing park before shutting down?
