Am so glad the M4's here in the UK don't have those ugly 18's

Welcome to last year!

This is quite old news now, it was posted and discussed a while back now.

Bloody yanks. Even in a straight line they have problems.

What did this tool do?
Looks to me like DSC was off and he didn't have a clue what to do when it started spinning.

Looks like (through no effort of his own) he just about managed to not knacker his entire underside.

It was discussed in even greater length in the main forum, the driver is an F30POST member and he posts with his explaination of what happened:

You know what I actually believe that guy.

Similar thing happened to me in a rented F10 M5. Very warm dry day and I only had it in sport. (dsc and Dtc we as they should have been.

Was going in a straight line up a very small incline at about 30mph. Floored it at the precise moment the OSR wheel was on a manhole cover.
The rear snapped so violently I had to do opposite lock to correct it.

Scared the crap out of me. Luckily the gap between me and the cars closest to me was big enough to avoid me whacking into any other cars.

I have a feeling what the dude in the M4 describes and what happened to me is a "common fault" amongst the Fxx series.

Funny thing is I have tried many a time to replicate it in the same place it happened to me in my E60 M5 and have never been able to.
It only happened the once in the F10 and I couldn't get it to replicate what happened again after that incident.

I would love to know what the actual cause of it is.

There's a similar type of clip in you tube of someone in a gallardo doing the same kind of thing, except he goes in to a pile of cars waiting at the lights!

This one?

[Tengocity]

That's exaclty the one! For me that's even funnier than the M4 clip. That is crap driving of the highest order.

At least the BMW is a RWD with a load of torque that might catch you out, but the Gallardo is AWD and naturally aspirated, so you really do need to be a clumsy oaf to do that in the dry. I know it has a lot of power, but it does take a fair bit of incompetence to manage that.

He should of just left ESP turned on!

let's face it, there are only a few countries where they possess enough of the 'incompetence gene' in their genetics to manage that type of thing...

The corsa, golf, ibiza brigade manage it with their Chavtastic skills, obviously passed down their own 'selective' gene pool.
