The M6 and M3 on the scene belong to the M5 owner's sons, who  were traveling with the M5 at the time of the accident.  One of the  sons, seeing smoke coming from the M5's engine after the crash, was able  to prevent any more danger by using an extinguisher on the engine.It's easy to forget sometimes just how much power our BMWs have and  while they are some of the safest cars in the world, we are all still  human, capable of suffering injuries and making driving mistakes (or  simply suffering bad luck).  So please be safe out there!http://f10.m5post.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=678069&d=1334847311http://f10.m5post.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=678070&d=1334847311http://f10.m5post.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=678071&d=1334847311http://f10.m5post.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=678072&d=1334847311http://f10.m5post.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=678074&d=1334847311http://f10.m5post.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=678073&d=1334847311http://f10.m5post.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=678075&d=1334847316</p></blockquote><p></p>
