sorry i have vendetta for M3s sometimes lol...this kid came up to me a few months ago with like a 1998-2000 one wearing a pink polo shirt asking me about my car and how it compared to his. I thought i was on a like a hidden camera show lol... i politely tried to let him down easy but at the end of the convo his take away was mine was better in the straight line and his was more for the track

He should put paddles on the back and take it out to Glamis. He can take it off-road without having to worry about boulders.

Didn't a guy in a 370 do something similar? He was only saved by a dirt bank...

You can tell right off he's in trouble by how he keeps backing off the throttle in all the wrong places. Fear and lack of control. Poor car :(

LOL! I could have made that turn with one hand

Looks like he had never driven the road before and was unfamiliar with that corner/rise. Really sucks. His lesson was much more expensive than mine when I was 17 with my '95 Trans Am.

It looks like his first "clue" was at about 0:15 when he got the car light after the rise and it took more than he expected with the wheel. He didn't figure it out, and his second clue was a busted front end and blow airbags. He's still alive, and he learned (I hope) a valuable lesson, and he will laugh about it sometime, I hope, while correctly hitting the curves.

Why all the college/kid jokes? Is his age given? He looks mid/early 20's to me. It very well could be his own vehicle that he makes the note on each month/owns, without all the mommy/daddy crap. For all you know, he saved up while he was in Afghanistan, stared at M3 pictures all the time he had to himself, and that was his "coming home" gift. Just a shame he didn't know how to drive it. Or he could have been like me, and buckled down in college. Or any number of things. He may even be some rich kid who has parents with more money than brains, but I would like to think maybe not.

He is very snappy with it, as well as the wheel. I am surprised at how composed the car looks in spite of it. BMW did a great job with that suspension. It made him look like a he was "doing okay" to the uneducated observer right up until he asked it to modify the laws of physics.

Like, he makes absolutely no effort to turn. In fact, he even straightens it out to better hit the rocks head-on.

y u no follow the street?!?!

It looked to me like he did at first, but the rise/speed prevented effective action from the tires. They simply cannot bend physics. When he saw that leaving the road was inevitable, he then tried to pick what he thought was the best path (who knows, he may have missed something we didn't see that would have done far more damage?).

Either way, looked like inappropriate corner entry + speed + ignorance of the "track". He looked like he was at near 100% of his ability on an unfamiliar piece of road. Always a disaster.
