No body damage, but both right side wheels are destroyed and who knows underneath  :-(

Ouch that must of been some force.

Are you okay though?

Yeah I’m totally fine luckily. I applied opposite lock when I felt the back end go but nothing happened and I jammed on the brake and then boom

Oof. I hope nothing underneath. Luckily wheels aren’t extremely expensive... What did you hit?

I didn’t hit anything but the curb. Did almost a full 360 spin by the end of it. Happened pretty quickly

Damn, just glad you’re OK! Luckily suspension components can be replaced relatively easily ...at least the body is OK!

Oh man, that blows but I’m glad you didn’t hit anything . I had a bit of unexpected E34 off-roading myself the other day. Luckily nothing broken, especially given the speed.

Funny cause it’s snowed the past few days and it’s so controllable in the snow with how easy it is to feel everything and the long wheelbase, but the ice was just instant loss of everything.

Glad the touring is okay

Yup, they’re pretty awesome and they definitely improved steering response and initial  turn in. Didn’t help much on the ice though

Hopefully they’re usable I’m guessing your control arm ball joints are done from the pic.

Ride wasn't too harsh?

Ride didn’t change, it just improved the steering responsiveness tbh
