M4 loses control leaving Cars and Coffee, hits median, gets airborne. Owner explains.

GGreek5 · 01-04-2015, 05:10 PM

Wow. He didn't even try to correct that. Just left the steering wheel alone.

JSP///M4C · 01-04-2015, 05:10 PM

Damn! Airborne!

No kidding, very lucky

Vigilant · 01-04-2015, 05:31 PM

So anyone guessing whether DSC was completely off or was he in MDM...

Someone could check his plates, but that's fucked up. Shit happens.

Green///Hell · 01-04-2015, 05:36 PM

No throttle control or steering control

The hell was he doing man? Nah Cuz, just stop cuz

FogCityM3 · 01-04-2015, 05:38 PM

Had to be off. Feel bad for the guy as didn't seem like he was launching strongly but probably punched it with the throttle.

This video is all over Reddit. Driver should have his license taken away.

dmk08 · 01-04-2015, 05:50 PM

I keep watching it. I cant get over the lack of correction. At least he had the 18s so extra sidewall.

tooch · 01-04-2015, 05:50 PM

What was he thinking? That sucks.

Mandi90TT · 01-04-2015, 05:50 PM

I drive with all DSC and MDM off every day, and give it full throttle all the time (well, often enough). I just know how to control it if I lose traction. This is plain ol' driver idiocy, not anything inherently wrong with the car.

dmk08 · 01-04-2015, 05:52 PM

The real question .. Is it a forum member? Anyone gonna step up?

chris s · 01-04-2015, 05:52 PM

OMG....guessing he won't be showing his face at cars and coffee for a longgggg time. LMAO

mkoesel · 01-04-2015, 05:53 PM

Bummer for the car, but he's very lucky no one was hurt (including himself).

Not too many M4 in SO with 18s, not to mention the license plate is visible. He's likely going to be identified in short order and as unfortunate as that is for him, it may be just the thing to send the message home. Though, I suppose he could quickly change the wheels and get a new plate before showing up at the next gathering.

From the looks of the car after the hit, and the fact that he seems to be able to drive off with little drama, it looks like the suspension absorbed the impact surprisingly well.

joeyb26 · 01-04-2015, 05:54 PM

i feel like all traction off, plus if he was just leaving cars and coffee chances are the tires were probably cold too, not a good combo

That adaptive suspension

Pretty sure he had all traction control nannies off. Sounds like he went WOT in 2nd. Lucky he didn't hit either of those poles, let alone oncoming traffic.

djhex36 · 01-04-2015, 06:09 PM

It looks like this guys' car from Instagram.. I paused the video in my phone and the plate frame and month of Aug look the same. Also, it's so/so 18's and xenon.
