Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Source: https://mothership.sg/2020/05/bmw-geylang-crash/ The kicker, in the article they reference it as a "white BMW". BMW crashes into Geylang Road walkway shelter, knocks down 1 pillar & stopped by next one The shelter is quite new. May 13, 2020 A BMW M2 drove up a footpath and crashed into a pedestrian walkway shelter on May 13. The accident occurred along Geylang Road in the direction of Lavender. The accident narrowly missed a bus stop. The bonnet of the white BMW was destroyed and its windscreen shattered. According to a Facebook post about the incident, the BMW hit one shelter pillar and shattered it before a second pillar stopped the vehicle from moving forward. The crash destroyed a portion of the shelter. Damage to public property would require compensation. According to a 2010 figures for compensation, damage to public property can easily run up to thousands of dollars: Lamp post (complete replacement): S$2,000 Road railing: Less than S$200 Traffic light control: S$10,000 Trees: Fine of at least S$2,000 According to Google Maps, the shelter is relatively new.

I posted a few days ago that I've done curbside take-out a few times, and always given my M2 color as white (for order identification), because I have no idea what it will look like when I get there. And a couple of times the food runner said "I thought you said white". Maybe I'll just say silver, but its not traditional silver, or say grey but its not grey?!?! I'll say silver
Anyway this poor M2 matches the post she took down exactly. And I love how the article say bonnet destroyed and windshield shattered. Dude, the M2 is totalled!! I wonder if they'll whip him in Singapore for destruction of public property? Penalties Under The Vandalism Act Upon conviction, the penalty is a fine not exceeding S$2,000 or imprisonment not exceeding three years, and also the corporal punishment of not less than three strokes and not more than eight strokes of the cane. |

HS = Light Silver When I was driving a Carbon Black M3 I struggled with this as well... "Dark dark dark blue" doesn't always fit in the guest parking color description field. And when it's parked next to a plain black car, CB certainly doesn't look black. |
