Geezuz mate, got any piccies of the damage.. very very sorry to hear.. not sure you can do any thing about the M3 anyway

That's awful - esp since if the guy didn't stop (he must've had something else to hide from the police). Was it a newer or older M3 (perhaps stolen???)

He didn't stop, probably because i didn't hit him. i *think* it was a newer one (e90/e92) but to be honest i can't recall. all i remember is seeing m3, kerb, bang, and then realising that the car was broken (had to pull right to keep it straight) so just pulled over and waited for my hands to stop shaking...

I wasn't in a frame of mind to take pics, though cosmetically it looked fine apart from the rear left wheel which was scratched+dented pretty bad and pointing in a different direction. I have a hire car now though so thankfully the only real damage is $1000 excess - don't need to change any plans

Ah that's good (well not really, you know what I mean) - thought you were physically pushed off the road.

could have done an axel and a wheel hub but as CM said a replacement will sort that out, just hope they are in stock.. will definitely need to get an alignment. Well there is cost a carbon fibre insert.. will have to put that off

Glad you are ok and your plans are in tact
