The Owner as the owners of the rest of the crashed cars were all OK, 0 casualties or injuries thanks God. The area where the incident happened is one of the most famous neighborhoods of Beirut. We're all relieved, amazed and so happy no one was hurt.
BMW Lebanon imports from Germany not from the US. Only used cars may come from the US, but here, buying a used car is a lottery cause 99% of the cars imported here are cars that have been badly crashed in the US. They bring them here, fix them and sell them as if they are original:-( I never buy used, I just can't trust resellers here.
As for M2 owner, I think that the positive thing about the incident is that he has now the chance to order his second M2 with different options or a different color. At least that's how I would have looked at it to make things easier on me :-).

I would be very interested in BMW sale numbers in Lebanon. Country is full of BMWs (more common than Toyota) with almost all of them bought used from a third party.

Yes indeed, I would say Mercedes, BMW are the ones that sell like hot bread here. I don't know if they are countable though, the roads are full of them even new. As for the M2, They have sold 26 M2s already.
Cars are not cheap here, a base M2 with DCT costs 83000 USD.
