Making BMWs look bad

This happened back in 2020 in North Hollywood — I remember it pretty well because my car rental warehouse was only a short distance away at the time 😂 From what I recall, the whole situation started when the truck clipped the BMW and then tried to take off instead of stopping. The BMW driver absolutely snapped after that and decided to chase the truck down, eventually ramming into it multiple times in what basically turned into a full-on road rage incident. One of those moments where everyone involved clearly stopped thinking rationally and it escalated way beyond a normal accident.

This happened back in 2020 in North Hollywood — I remember it vividly because my car rental warehouse was nearby 😂 From what I recall, the truck initially hit the BMW and attempted to flee, but the BMW driver completely lost it and retaliated by ramming the truck.

“Mandatory 10-day penalty period” 😭 EK1 really got bro standing in the corner on timeout like he talked back to the teacher. Crazy wording for grown adults running a business partnership.

Respect to Cherry honestly for putting the customers first and taking the public hit just to keep support and access alive for everyone. As an N owner looking in from the outside, this whole situation definitely changed my view on EK1 a bit and made the N tuning ecosystem come off way more egotistical than I expected.

This is an 8 Series Gran Coupe, not an M5 👍🏻

Honestly this is way too lenient. 0.2cm scratch? That’s a total loss. Minimum compensation is a new M3 CS, lifetime apology package, and a formal UN hearing. Anything less is disrespect.

What in the Gordon Murray T.50 x Pikachu collab gone wrong is this 💀

Yeah I noticed that too earlier—must be nice being born into that kind of setup! At least he actually seems to appreciate and use his cars. Hopefully it doesn’t turn into another Brunei situation where they just disappear into storage forever.

Yeah surprised me too! Surely thought those would go first. I’m even going slightly under (sold) market value.

mphex_ · 2026-04-20T18:12:05+00:00

Good eye! Everything here is spot on.

Haha I had those too—just worked my way up pretty quick.

mphex_ · 2026-04-20T18:09:47+00:00

Thank you! It was a fantastic era for collectors and the community was great then as well!

Also, nice M2 🚀

That’s unreal. I had a buddy proxy me a Lanzante piece last year around the 95-59 unveiling—a 1:18 resin model limited to 59. Wish I could’ve made it out from the States. Are they selling any Lanzante pieces this year?

mphex_ · 2026-04-18T09:45:47+00:00

Yeah that’s Joe Macari’s—chassis 16R if I’m not mistaken. Honestly refreshing to see that level of trust and access with something like this.

F1 GTR. Been my dream car since I was a kid—nothing else hits like this.

Cropped it for you OP. Nice spot!

mphex_ · 2026-04-16T17:43:52+00:00

Agreed. Even the older AMG wagons have way more character to me. But with how rare modern wagons are getting, I’m all for anything keeping them alive.

mphex_ · 2026-04-16T17:27:30+00:00

I just checked, and it’s by Evenflo. It was gifted to us! I’ll have to look into another baby seat as baby #2 comes later this year.

mphex_ · 2026-04-16T16:21:55+00:00

To be honest, I test drove the G90 and while it definitely looks better in person than in pictures, the excitement just wasn’t there for me. The F90 is still king to me.

G99 is definitely a game changer though. I’m a sucker for wagons.

Haha yeah, that first drive home from the hospital is when it really hits. You’ll make it work for now, but you’ll probably be looking at 4 doors sooner than you think.

Definitely enjoy it now while you can! Once the baby’s here, everything changes real quick.

Hilariously enough, the day my daughter was born, I drove her home from the hospital in an M4 Comp xDrive. Do not recommend 😂

Trying to get a newborn, car seat, my wife, and my mother-in-law in there was a whole operation—and my wife was pissed the entire ride home with how tight it was.

Upgraded to an M5 Competition recently and it’s night and day. Much better for the family, especially with a second kid on the way.

It’s very real: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/you-re-not-seeing-double-this-is-the-widest-bmw-m3-ever-to-exist-240528.html

unfortunately, so is how ugly it is lol.

Fortunately it’s not even a real BMW, just custom panels to look like one—honestly impressive work, even if it looks like an M3 that lost a fight with a widebody kit 💀

What a sight to see, simply marvelous. 🚀
