I was heading down 16th Avenue before the Deerfoot intersection. I was stopped at the red light when all of a sudden there was this loud screeching and I saw 2 cars, 1 Honda Accord, and a Nissan Pathfinder pushed a couple of feet away from their turning lane.

When I drove by, I saw this Silver 2006 BMW M3 hopped the curbed and completely smashed its whole passenger side to the Accord and the Pathfinder.

No one seems to be hurt as the M3 crashed right on the rear driver side of the Accord and the front driver side of the Pathfinder.

I was thinking to myself what a waste of a very expensive car. Hurts to see it :(

Here's my mock up map regarding the accident:

lol how do you know its an 06? lol

There were no visual modifications from 01 to 06.

Except wheels, but you can still get the 18's if you wish, the biggest indication it is a pre 03 car.

I just assumed it was a newer as it had these wheels on it:

No way. I saw an M3 with a lip spoiler just a couple days ago. Same one?

All e46 coupes started coming with LED tails and side markers in 04 or 05. The headlights also got a face lift.

Late model year '03s have the LED tails.
