In my m3 (michilen PS2 tires)
I was driving to work, a mindless drive at 800 AM around a 10 mile drive. I am driving and the car is pulling hard to the right and I just think it could be alinement etc. which I had an appointment to see the dealership this week for oil and a check up. So I merge onto the highway (3-4 miles of highway driving) and I am in the far left lane (doing maybe 65-70 mph normal like everyone else) and all this sudden my "check engine light came on" 3-4 seconds later...
tire pops off the car and rolling on the highway! The tire was going faster then my car was.
Then the car jerked once real hard as it went down on the rim (not a nice noise with allloy wheels meets road) then the car jerked really hard again to the right.
I am now at a 30 degree angle on the highwaymaybe doing 5-15 mph. I look out my passenger side window and see cars coming right towards me and I just floored it. The RPMS went way into the 9000s. Thank god their was a gap between cars and myself. I think back about it how I was lucky to not be -boned
I was able to make it across 3 lanes to the right shoulder someone got across in a safe manor.
As I was pulled over I called the tow truck and waited for an hour just sitting their in the dirt gravel with my black pants/white shirt and tie watching cars go by.
This entire event seemed sureal to me. I didnt really panic I just reacted did the best I could to save myself.
O ya. as my car was being pulled up the tow truck the entire front end was being rubbed against the bottom of the tow truck
comestic damage
1. cracked wheel
2. front spoiler ruined
3. right side skirt gone
mechanical
1. rear suspension has some issues
tire
I have no idea how this could have happend. I thought my tires were in good shape. I just checked the air pressure the other day as well and it was 36. right where I like to be on the front
I will get some pics in a minute uploaded
