Another one gone...

This accident happened in 30/11/2012 in South Africa.
According to wreckedexotics: The driver of the BMW collided with a tree after losing control while travelling at a very dangerous speed. The car burst into flames. The driver did not survive the accident.

We have to be more careful with speed guys...

Too bad.

I might be wrong, but to my eyes it rather seems an Audi R8.

A mate of mine crashed his 1M when speeding and showing off. The car didn't caught fire but was written off anyway, too much damage. The driver and his passenger escaped almost uninjured, but in serious shock... So indeed, be careful !

PS: hey racer boys , still think it's that smart to tune your M-Babies to 500 hp ?

I could care less about the car. Shame about the life.

Was thinking the same thing... I've only seen 1 maybe 2 SA's on here.

Sad to say this looks like stupidity at its finest, that car was torn to pieces by the crash.

I checked out WreckedExotics.com and they don't even have a 1 series category, nevermind a 1M file.

I definitely make mistakes too, but sometimes drivers overestimate their skills that much that it becomes sheer recklessness, as shown in the recent 'GT-R gets airborne' video below.

Yep, frightening video ! Luckily, no one was hurt.
Maybe 1M's, tuned or not, should come with a dashboard sticker stating "With great power comes great responsibility" ...
