Message: <blockquote data-quote="cloudbuster" data-source="post: 447892" data-attributes="member: 6653">Sorry about your nasty accident, and at the same time happy to know that you and your family is ok. I hope you do  manage to recover some compensation from Plus.I too had a similar accident on April 17 this year, on the day of my brother's wedding. I was traveling in my wife's E46 318i  along the main road in Putra Heights in the afternoon behind a 4wd going on a slow speed around 50km/h. We were going on a curved bent when suddenly I saw a whole transmission block appearing beneath the 4wd. Because there was a car beside mine, I couldn't turn either way and only managed to brake somewhat but still rammed over the block of transmission. Heard several very very loud clanks and thuds and bangs and my car was like a rodeo horse. Luckily I still managed to go over the transmission. There was a loud groan noise from the car after that, but still ok to drive, surprisingly. Took it to the workshop the next day, and after hoisting the car up, we found that the oil pan was damaged, and apart from a slight dent at the rear right on the undercarriage plus a small scrap near it, the car was verbally certified safe and ok by the workshop. Replaced the oil pan and some engine oil refill later, the car ran fine and the groaning noise disappeared. Luckily, the bill cam to only around RM1,500 plus in total.I'm just relieve that my family was safe. Somehow or rather, i felt the car saved us from anything dreadful.A Proton Persona which was behind us at the time wasn't so lucky. The car got stuck on stop of the rogue transmission block and pierced through the floorboard at the rear. Again luckily no one was seating on the rear seats of the Persona or it could have been nasty.</blockquote>
