Of course us lighter weight and superior CF roof owners have to trash the sunroof owning plebeians every chance we get.

I think that thing is already up for sale on Copart

Definitely a young rich kid with no income that got mommy and daddy to spend their money on this car and the $10k wheels. Reckless driving to this extent on a street that's likely a 25mph speed limit? Obviously an Immature kid trying to be cool.

Heck just peek around Instagram there's tons of kids that are early 20s with modified ///M cars, AMGs and Audi's that their parents fund

This sounds pedantic. It was a joke. Hence ‘lmao’ at the end of the sentence. No diffeent than the one rear tire being off by 1.5psi. How can you tell the tire pressures of each wheel in that photo or any photo for that matter.

People comment stock ride height is like a 4x4, especially at the front. 4x4 -> SUV -> easy to roll over.

Real dummy driver here, sorry he hurt people and took that tree out. Hope he/ she pays dearly for this.

Let’s not kid ourselves, we all push the ///M cars hard at times but down a residential street is def not the time nor place.

M3 to M5 to X5 ///M now and I never had this problem.

CP911 · 04-19-2019, 08:41 PM

I personally think all of the "idiot" or "must have been spoiled rich kid in his 20s "comments from all of the armchair warriors are immature and uncalled for. I don't think this person was intending to crash his expensive BMW. Let's not act like most of us haven't taken similar risks by smashing the gas and exceeding the speed limit in our cars. Oh I forgot - people only buy BMWs to drive within the speed limit and flash their expensive wrist watches out the window.

These cars are very fun to drive and can sometimes provoke aggressive (and dangerous) behaviors. I think this was more a matter of the driver not being experienced or educated enough on what could happen in those exact circumstances that led to the crash. I'm sure he learned his lesson and won't be trying that again. I hope he is alright and very glad to hear no one else was seriously injured or killed. Scary stuff.

Free advice to all those who are intentionally driving with DSC completely off when you know damn well what that means: please at least use DTC/MDM instead so you don't massively increase your odds of endangering the public like this driver did.

Quampa · 04-19-2019, 08:45 PM

Thankfully no one was seriously hurt, but damn that building must have come out of nowhere.

Perfect example for me to make the point in my post above. So let's say you decide a freeway or wooded back road is a "better time and place" to drive like a hooligan. I mean it's just supposed to be you and Mother Nature out there. You spin out coming out of a curve and didn't see an oncoming car. Oncoming driver gets killed. No reason to feel like a dummy or "pay dearly" for your actions, right? Ahh I see. Your arbitrarily chosen location that you deemed "safe" made it okay. Do I have that right?

Man, some of you are so self-righteous that it's ridiculous.

Man, some of you are so self-righteous that it's ridiculous.

So you justify this? I don’t drive reckless in residential areas period or around blind curves given your example.

There needs to be more accountability today.

I see. I didn't realize you bought your BMW to serve as a wardrobe accessory and/or status symbol.

Kudos. The comic relief I feel is almost as good as that last bathroom break I had!
