The mechanic was struggling to reverse the BMW estate into his garage, so he put the handbrake on and jumped out of the vehicle.
However, while we was walking behind the car it began rolling down the ramp.
Terrifying footage shows Karl unsuccessfully trying to stop the vehicle by pushing it, as he is forcefully thrown backwards.
The car - which he estimates is 1,800kg - crushes him against the wall before he is seen shouting in agony.
It then comes to a standstill, as Karl is seen desperately yelling for help.
A staff member quickly gets in the car and tries to drive away, not realising it is in reverse.
Karl was crushed again by the reversing vehicle, before the member of staff manages to successfully manoeuvre it away from him.
The wince-inducing video then shows him collapse in the centre of the shop floor, unable to get back up.
His coworker then gets out of the car to help him while he lies doubled up on the floor.
An ambulance rushed him to Manchester Royal Infirmary where he stayed for a week, with doctors telling him he had suffered soft tissue damage to his pelvic area and groin after an MRI.

Karl says he has been unable to watch the CCTV footage back as it is too "traumatic" for him.
He has been left particularly concerned about his "unrecognisable" manhood, as he is unsure if they "work or function" - but he is hopeful it will be OK after the healing process.
Karl, from Hyndburn, Lancashire, said: "My man bits were smashed to bits. They were swollen, they were black and blue and unrecognisable in one bit.
"I don't know if they work or function because the area is very painful and sore still but I think it'll be okay. It was scary for a couple of weeks though.
"It's Final Destination stuff.
"My sensitive man area got smashed into my stomach and the belt buckle went into my stomach. A lot of the damage is soft tissue and nerve damage. Luckily nothing broke.
"It was obviously very painful but I'm not one for being amazingly soft.
"The scariest thing for me was when they had me on the floor and they were trying to put my leg straight and I couldn't bear it because the pain was too bad.
"The fact that I've done drifting racing for 16 years and drag racing and never hurt myself [but have now] injured myself on a random runaway car is pretty unlucky.
"For a couple of days I couldn't really move my right leg and that was scary because they [the doctors] said it had this crushing injury and I didn't really understand it.
"They were talking to people about maybe losing my lower leg and having to cut from top to bottom and I was on a ward with people who had legs off and were having legs off. That scared me.
"I think it's traumatic [the video]. I don't want to see it."
He said they later found out the car had an issue with its handbrake.
They also fitted the car with two new doors and fixed its rear.
Karl said: "Many people have asked what's happened and I've struggled to explain properly so here you go.
"The car was put in reverse twice so that crushed my leg harder into the booth.
"I'm now hobbling about but there's still some pretty grim internal damage and a hole in my groin area. That said I've done way better than the doctors and physio thought I would at this point.
"I've been brave enough to download the video and share it so I know I was dumb trying to stop it it all happened so fast so be kind."
One commented: "You're gonna have to start wearing a Cape now."
A second said: "Lucky lucky man."
A third added: "That could have been a lot worse, glad you're on the mend."

No End in Sight? US BMW XM Sales Fall 24% in Q2 2025
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. Turns out the XM isn't just hard to look at; it's hard to sell, too. You'd no doubt recognize the XM if you happened to see one (of the apparently few) on the street. A front-end design like no other, complete with attention-grabbing, glowing grilles, makes the SUV almost impossible to ignore. This was probably, at least partially, the point when BMW launched the Halo M product back at the end of 2022. But sales figures show that BMW may have totally missed the mark with the XM — a rare coincidence with what most brand enthusiasts have been saying since the SUV's inception. 0:09 / 0:09 2026 Audi A6 Avant debuts to fight BMW 5 Series Touring Watch More Sales of the BMW XM peaked early on and never picked back up Things started off okay, if not amazing, for the XM. It launched in late Q1 2023, and in Q2 of the same year, 762 models made it into customer garages. That's not bad when you consider the BMW XM is a somewhat low-production model commanding a price deep in the six figures. Q1 2024 even saw growth for the model — likely as a result of the SUV coming to market in the US late in the quarter, but hey, we'll give credit where it's due. Moving 541 units, an increase of 32.3% over the previous year, the XM looked to hold its own. Unfortunately, the good news for XM sales ended there, a year and a half ago. XM sales fell 29.5% and 30.7% in Q2 and Q3 of 2024, respectively, and most recently, in Q2 2025, they continued to fall another 23.8%, with just 409 SUVs finding new homes. While obviously the Bavarian automaker isn't producing as many XMs as, say, the BMW 3 Series, it isn't totally due to low production that the model isn't moving. A quick search online reveals over 200 XM models sitting on dealer lots, including 2023 and 2024 models. Changes for 2026 seem unlikely to ail the model, but time will tell It's unlikely to be reactionary since it's about the time in the XM's product lifecycle for an update, but BMW is making changes to the 2026 BMW XM. The newest model year drops the base model, leaving only the XM Label. The 2026 XM Label enjoys 738 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque — nearly 100 more horsepower than the standard car — and some special red badging details. For 2026, BMW will introduce new exterior paints and interior upholstery, wheels, and welcome light animation. That also means the price of entry rises to over $186,000, when previously, you could get a base model for around $160,000. Unless, of course, BMW does something wacky and debuts the 2026 XM Label at a lower MSRP than the 2025 model.

Despite announcing and showcasing the model's changes for 2026, the automaker is mum on pricing, claiming it will be announced closer to the model's August start of production. If the brand really wants to move some metal, a lower MSRP would be a great way to do it. After all, it's hard to claim the XM is at all close to the aspirational model BMW M hoped it would be. Either way, the elimination of the base model will effectively doom the XM to a continued downward sales trend for the remainder of its potentially short life. Final thoughts The XM is a victim of marketing. I've had a decent chunk of time behind the wheel of the XM, and the saddest thing about seeing it fail is that it's actually a pretty competent car. If you pulled all the silly badging and re-positioned it as an X8, priced alongside the top-tier X7 M60i or something similar, it would likely be a pretty good seller. Yes, it's still ugly, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I was never the target audience. It will be interesting to see how BMW pivots from the XM to the next halo car and what lessons the brand might have learned along the way. About the Author Steven Paul View Profile

BMW Drops Incredible X3 Lease Offer For July
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. One of the most popular BMWs around has a stellar lease option for you The SUV that spawned an entire product line for BMW, the X3, has been a pillar of BMW's success for over 20 years. Combining the automaker's world-class driving experience with the seating and cargo capacity many consumers crave, the BMW X3 is found on roads everywhere and is a perennial favorite for reviewers and buyers. 0:03 / 0:09 Audi reveals sporty new A5/S5 with an emphasis on design Watch More For its fourth-generation X3, BMW is bridging the gap between an already stellar SUV (or 'Sports Activity Vehicle,' in BMW parlance) and the company's future Neue Klasse design ethos. In many regards, there has never been a better time to own a BMW, which might be why BMW has such an incredible lease offer for its mainstay Sports Activity Vehicle. If you're looking for a lease deal on the BMW X3, the automaker will put well-qualified buyers behind the wheel of a 2025 BMW X3 30 xDrive for $599 per month, with only $5,589 down. This is a 39-month lease with a 32,500-mile mileage allowance. This lease deal is good through July 31, 2025. 2025 BMW X3 — Source: BMW Can you get a 2025 BMW X3 for $0 down? Lease terms are often negotiable, but they are dependent on the dealership. If you'd prefer to drive off in a 2025 BMW X3 lease with zero money down, that might be possible. Your monthly payment will increase, of course, and we estimate the additional monthly premium to be around $140, bringing your total monthly payment to approximately $879 per month. Source: BMW What you get with a 2025 BMW X3 lease The 2025 BMW X3 incorporates a lot of design cues from BMW's future-facing Neue Klasse vehicles but has its feet firmly planted in 2026. Up front, you're met with BMW's familiar kidney grille fascia, which the automaker dubs the 'BMW Iconic Glow Kidney Grille.' The large grille features a customizable inset that lights up at night, with an air intake located at the bottom of the front bumper. Its big, bold headlights frame the X3.

Tall side glass and a small rear window are hallmarks of the X3, and they remain for this model as well. BMW X3 — Source: BMW Inside, BMW has incorporated its dual-screen setup for front passengers. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster sits behind the wheel, blending seamlessly into the 14.9-inch infotainment screen, which supports iDrive 9. A vertical wireless charging pad, first seen in a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle in the X1, is located below the touch capacitive comfort controls. Meanwhile, a drive mode toggle and iDrive control wheel are at the driver's ready on the center console. Under the hood, BMW packed a 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder engine, which has a maximum horsepower rating of 255 and a 0-60 time of six seconds flat. The X3 keeps you tethered to the road with BMW's xDrive system, the company's all-wheel-drive powertrain. You'll also get metallic paint options, BMW's Premium Package and Convenience Package, and the Parking Assistant Package. Final thoughts Remember, lease offers depend on dealership participation and vehicle availability. The monthly payment incorporates a suggested dealer contribution, which is optional. Lessees are responsible for insurance, and not all applicants will qualify for the $0 security deposit. *Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Elon Musk launches new political party to give America ‘freedom back' after explosive row with Trump & White House exit
Musk yesterday asked his followers if he should challenge the two party system in the US TRUMP CARD Elon Musk launches new political party to give America 'freedom back' after explosive row with Trump & White House exit Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ELON Musk has launched a new political following his explosive row with President Donald Trump. The billionaire has promised he will "give back your freedom" via a post on X today. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Elon Musk has reportedly launched a new political party Credit: AFP It comes after Musk created an online poll on July 4 where he asked his followers if he should spearhead a fresh political party. Of those polled, over 65% answered 'yes', which paved the way for the announcement. "By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!" he wrote. "When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. "Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom." The announcement from Musk comes after President Donald Trump signed a tax-cut and spending bill into law on Friday, which the billionaire chief executive officer of Tesla fiercely opposed. Musk spent hundreds of millions on Trump's re-election and led the Department of Government Efficiency under the Trump administration aimed at slashing government spending, but the two have since fallen out over disagreements about the bill. Trump earlier this week threatened to cut off the billions of dollars in subsidies that Musk's companies receive from the federal government. Musk said previously that he would start a new political party and spend money to unseat lawmakers who supported the bill. Republicans have expressed concern that Musk's on-again, off-again feud with Trump could hurt their chances to protect their majority in the 2026 midterm congressional elections.
