I went airborne with my 330 I at 80 km/h. I went up 7 m and 12 m down the road landed on the roof on driver side first. Only the front airbags opened and I had minor injuries. Insured by BMW and replacement ordered (3 month waiting list in South Africa)
Photos available of rolled car and mail me then I will email the photos back.
How did you go airborne? BMW is your insurance company and they're giving you a full new one? your rates go up?

Ok so the new 2002 330I arrived and wow !!!
Enough to give me a spontanious erection !
Lots of new things like twin Xenon, Auto headlights and variable brakelights, satellite navigation. Again Titanium silver with all extras.
In South Africa The BMW insurance will replace your car if stolen or written off within the firts 12 months. Mine was only 6 months old when I drove on a sunny Sunday afternoon and I had to severly swerve out for baboons in the road, hit a rock and went airborne. I did wait 3 months to the day for the new car. Funny we have the same waiting list as all 4 door 3 series are build in SA even for the US and Europe market. My monthly installments stayed the same for the car at approx $600 but the insurance is a lot more as the new car value almost $10 000 more. In SA $10 000 is a brick shithouse full of money.
All I know is the new car is only a dream to drive !

Just wanted to clarify that SA is the build facility for the 325 only, not all 3 series. the 330 is still built in Germany. This might help explain your 3 month wait for a replacement.

Hi. I will clarify the fact again from BMW South Africa.
However I was told by a close friend working at the factory that all 4 door 3 series for europe and africa are build in RSA. I will however find out and let you know. Thanks anyway.
