Moral of the story is drive according to how the conditions allow and not like a Tw*t to appease your YouTube followers!

I have seen so many videos on his YT channel racing around in various 'hot' cars in tree lined Warwickshire country lanes.........it was only a matter of time before this type of incident occurred. He needs to thank his lucky stars that his injuries were only broken legs!

Only mentions himself as the passenger...wonder if the driver also survived this

"Car lost control". No, your dumb AF driver did this.

Exactly. Reminds me of the old Rolls-Royce euphemism for a breakdown -- "Rolls-Royces don't break down, they simply fail to proceed."

Trees tend not to move, you can see the impact on the passenger side, that car will have going one hell of a speed, quite lucky that the impact was on the forward portion of the door and A pillar.

Very fortunate there was no oncoming traffic and potentially taking someone else's life. I've driven some of those smaller roads (around Oxford) and it's kind of fun, but they're so narrow and oncoming traffic can appear out of nowhere

Damn. Only broken leg?

Lucky no one else got hurt.
I always tell my customer, take it to the track.
Street is not the place to do a circus act with a high power hp car.

Back in the day, we do street racing with 4cyl ~180hp. It still not ok, even though you still can dodge them if they lose control and going toward you.
With this high hp car, NHRA rules, anything goes lower than 11's in 1/4 miles, require a helmet and racing harness.

And with dragy is so popular, it is even worst. Guys will be doing it everywhere just to be on top ladder and have bragging right about it.
Bring it to the track. Going fast straight is easy, knowing how your car handles and react is more important. It is like knowing how to swim, but doesn't know how to float.

On another note that sakhir orange interior looks fantastic.

i thought this.... thank you for saying it.

that being said... glad the person survived....
people need to respect the vehicle they are driving.. and understand the conditions in which they are driving said vehicle.

Yeah on our narrow b roads with wide modern cars there is zero room for error.

Scary stuff

[Schooey]

It would be interesting to know if they had a camera running for YT content, if so, likely to be evidence now, potential for a court visit for dangerous driving, speed alone would not determine that but apply another factor such as filming for YT (possible distraction) and then consider would a careful competent driver have ended up in the same position?

(There was a recent court case against a popular YT reviewer for speeding in an R8)

That aside fortunately both survived with relatively minor injuries and thankfully there were no other vehicles involved.

Was this another demo car being reviewed *screwed* before being sold on by a dealer to unknowing buyers?!

One could not express this any better or with more clarity.

[X4MforME]

Dude, that sucks! That is my exact (build) car!
And I already have anxiety about driving after a minor accident and those pics Do not help!
What's the point?
Is this what you do?
I'm sure the peeps at BMW really appreciate your contribution..
