That has to be the stupidest thing ever. Reason 792 why I won't own BMW.

lol most cars don't... unless at least in first position on the ignition lol


But I call this BS... Every damn school parking lot has a guard or a off duty officer I couldn't even smoke cigs at my school! I dough that no one heard her kicking or screaming... Cant happen I call BS!


PLUS if she was 14-16 it would take more then a school day for her to die... I say there's way more then we are reading to this story...



Randall K. Packer, a professor of biology at George Washington University, explains.


It is impossible to give an answer to this seemingly simple question because many variable factors determine a person's survival time. Under the most extreme conditions, death can come rather quickly. For example, a child left in a hot car or an athlete exercising hard in hot weather can dehydrate, overheat and die in a period of a few hours. An adult in comfortable surroundings, in contrast, can survive for a week or more with no, or very limited, water intake.

Every one of my cars that I've owned have been able to use the horn without the key in the ignition. All 5 subarus, 2 Z's, 1 Acura, 2 Volvos and a Beetle.


I have to say I'm proud Rob. You posted useful information and cited a source.

well I only owned Euro's and few American cars I think my Impala would honk without a key lol....?


Ether way I am not buying this shit,,,, Nope not today! And thanks J we all learn something new everyday!

[Rob&co]

Here's some more fishy info! So the locks were not able to open from the inside... Ether worn door handles like Ollie stated above or the door lock system could be faulty.... I assume the PIG pulled hard on the inside door handle to test it? Also the horn does not work without the key! Bingo!


But no signs or trauma she didn't kick or scream or try to punch out....

Fairly common problem with e36s and e34s. Even happened to me, fortunately it was in the winter. My wife was outside laughing at me.
Apparently it goes into security mode and you either have to bust out or wait it out. I knew this could potentiall kill someone if they did not have the strength or insight to break a window.
Not me but yet another person who experienced this.

She was high as a fucking kite.

But what high school girls at this age doesnt have a phone? Or a voice to scream? Could she not find something in the car to smash a window. I bet my ipod classic could shatter a window. You could probably crack the window with the buckle from the seat belt and work from there.

I've broken a bunch of e36 windows at the junkyard because half the time all the door handles are broken. It's WAY harder than you think. I usually pick up the biggest rock I can find and chuck it at the window and even then it just bounces right off sometimes.

Not at my highscool. We did whatever we wanted lol.


You guys ever think she didn't realize the magnitude of the situation aka that she was gonna die?

She died of heat stroke, that's hardly considered "comfortable surroundings." You could easily die within a few hours on a hot day stuck in a car.

It sounds a bit callous but if you are about to die, you should be able to get out of a shitty BMW. Unless of course you are on a hardcore sedatiive or painkillers.

I think so...

I think she was on something or at least medicine where she fell asleep so hard that she didn't even notice it was hot balls in the car and died? IDK Don't you think a 14 year old can kick out a car window with both legs while laying on her back? SHe is a girl, that move is programed in her blood lol!

It was like 92 that day.... Its not the Nevada desert lol She was only to nap for 45 minutes threw one class, don't you think her brother would look for her at lunch and break?

THIS! (there's a lot more to this...)

[Average_Jerk]

seriously?



How does one not know how to break a window.... or if it is a hot day, to leave a window down whilst sitting in a car....





A small child I can understand, but a teeneager?

It was in America. Our current run of teenagers are borderline retarded

[Ollie]

The irony is that if she kicked out the window, you know her brother wouldve been like "stupid bitch, you couldve waited a couple hours. you weren't gonna die in there. this is a god damn 1994 bmw e36 you just broke" and smacked her. Lose-lose situation
