How not to drive your BMW M3
 

Lulz were had.

i need to try out that sweet 11 and 1 hand position while leaning into my turns next time!!

LOL what a moron

Looks like he got pretty good air through. Rofl.

Also gotta try out driving straight when the road turns :icon17:

That was fukin hilarious

Stupid Kid!

:bowrofl::roflpuke2:

Exactly what I thought. :roflpuke2: :roflpuke2:

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?!?!

He definitely won't leading any of my canyon carving runs

:bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

They gave him a dirty look, but he showed those rocks who's boss. :ugh2:

when he hit that first rock i thought uncle jesse was going to start talking

F**k !

And the dixie horn honking? :bowrofl:

:bowrofl::bowrofl: :bowrofl:

:roflpuke2::bowrofl::roflpuke2:

no its a M3 so it would be a college rock song about date rape :tiphat:

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

Head flailing brought mega lulz

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.

:icon18:

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

viral

ooooooooooooo

damn near pissed myself

Exactly what I was thinking!

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

Reminds me when i would lean side to side when i played mario kart as a kid.

its Ok mom and dad will buy him a new one.

Its just a rock chip, Dr. color chip will do the job!

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.

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.

Because he's a Scottsdale brat thinking he can drive the roads at South Mountain (25-35mph zone I believe, with hikers and bike riders) in Daddy's M3 (or one Daddy bought for him). It's how all the Scottsdale kids are out here. They think, just because they have the car it means they can drive, regardless if they know the road.

This kid had no idea what he was doing. He's all over the road. His steering inputs are way too abrupt and he's going too fast for the road. Reminds me alot of a novice motorcycle rider who's very inconsistent with the throttle.

I've done the shifting seat position to get a better sight line on the more technical roads. From my 2 wheel days, i learned to treat the lane lines as a sort of electric fence. You never ever cross them. If you do, you're not in control and/or going too fast or beyond your skill level.

One of the comments in the video mentions he was tense. Had he been more relaxed, the blind corner might not have freaked him out as much and he might have successfully completed it. On the motorbike, being tense will always cause the bike to go wide. Being relaxed is key to not panicking. Lets hope he learned his lesson.

To the question of his age the video description says he's 19.

I once got into a pissing match with this kid who was around that age on another forum. Long story short, I actually believe him that he did make some weird investments in the stock market. He actually owned some really nice stuff. He was an immature idiot that filmed himself almost wrecking his mustang GT to prove a point, and it got me banned, though, lol.

Came back a few years later and he was a mod on the forum with other really nice cars. Dunno if he matured up or not, but he was still alive...


...either way, betting that kid was not rolling on his own paycheck, just the odds and all...

I bet daddy was not happy. Holly cow!

It's more difficult and improbable than you'd think to significantly raise your financial position in life above that of your parents. I pretty much default to assuming everyone's financial level in life is mostly inherited (if not directly, indirectly through the way they were raised and taught). Most rich people you meet were born rich. Some inherited it, and some just inherited the right life lessons and made it on their own. But the "rags to riches" thing is pretty insanely rare.

No I agree with you. You shouldnt automatically assume. I look younger than I am (I am 24) and people ask me how I afford my car and give me strange looks all the time. However when people I dont know ask me I just tell them that mommy and daddy bought it for me lol. Its easier than telling them where I work that will then just evolve into way more conversation than I care to carry.

There is a small chance, and I mean very small, that this guy bought the car with his own money. Even if dad bought it for him im not going to hate on him for it. If my dad offered me a M3 when I was 19 I sure as hell would have taken it, and probably wrecked it too lol. If anything its dads fault for giving his son a "performance" vehicle so young. Especially such an expensive one. If he tried to take responsibility for buying it himself when he didnt, then thats a different story.

well thats one way to refinance

I bought a brand new 2010 Maxima for ~$28k with my own money when I was 19. Wrecked it a couple months later and then bought my Z when I was 20. I get that look from people all the time who think my parents bought the car for me.

Stupid kid. :shakes head:
