What not to do.

Saw this today on Facebook. How to destroy a nice car!

Looks like serious damage. Is that a crank arm on the ground?

Can't see it as I'm not part of the Facebook depression.

They're talking about a piston and a con rod...

1 careful owner - then him

What a pen1s there must have been some indication like warning lights or oil temp but never mind, don't let that ruin the show!

There is a phrase I like called "mechanical sympathy" its lost on some people.

Well if you're in any doubt about what the best way of treating a car is - I think we can rule this one out.

It's a shame there wasn't an under the bonnet shot to see the mess there - the gasp from the guy with the camera suggests it wasn't pretty.

Well oil be dammed

Headbanger.

MashinBenzin · 10-12-2018, 10:45 AM

What an utter bellend. Hope he's footing that bill himself.

330XDave · 10-12-2018, 10:49 AM

Can see it now for some strange reason. It's one thing performing a couple of donuts but that sort of abuse is just asking for trouble.

teaston · 10-12-2018, 10:53 AM

Poor poor M3!

Obviously badly remapped with engine safety limiters removed!

Rukka · 10-12-2018, 10:53 AM

Piston come through the side of the block by the looks of the bits on the floor. "Thrown a rod" as the saying goes.

New engine jobbie that one

If he had just let it burn, assuming he was insured & let's even say he had GAP, would he of dodged a £20k+ engine bill?

Wonder why I always choose new cars.

Oh yes that's it!!

kzg1969 · 10-12-2018, 02:01 PM

Jimbob335DX · 10-12-2018, 02:46 PM

You wouldn't drive your own car like that.... surely...

SynTom · 10-12-2018, 03:20 PM

What a clown,

Shame, looked like a very nice car.

NanasBack · 10-12-2018, 03:33 PM

What a complete dickhead!

How's he going to get that back to the airport meet & greet?

akf30 · 10-12-2018, 03:52 PM

Sad day.

Let us lower our flags to half staff, to honor a huge loss today.

Steveo.G · 10-13-2018, 12:19 AM

Must have been a knob like this who I bought my X5 from!
That's not going to be cheap to fix.. AUF WIEDERSEHEN PET!

SkyJawa · 10-13-2018, 03:39 AM

Deserved everything he got.

sensible · 10-13-2018, 05:06 AM

Cars that get stolen and then recovered and returned to the owner....who knows how they have driven it.

I would never use a meet and greet at the airport, again for this reason.
