Watch This Guy Crash His Newly-Bought BMW Z4

This Massachusetts man managed to bin his E85-generation Z4 the day he bought it, and the accident was caught on camera

If you’ve just bought a new car, particularly one that’s rear-wheel drive and relatively powerful, it’s worth taking it easy until you get to grips with the thing. Unfortunately, this guy in Massachusetts took a different route, instead flooring his newly purchased Z4 amid wet conditions.

Unsurprisingly, this did not go well. A tank-slapper was triggered, ending with the Z4 slamming into someone’s front garden wall.

Thankfully, the man’s supportive friend filmed the whole thing on Snapchat (hence the footage being vertical), so he - along with anyone else in the world with access to YouTube - can relive that moment again and again…

I guess he was practicing his car meet exit stunt.

Was he a “Mustang driver?”

BMW drivers, do you know that your vehicles have an option that enables Traction Control?

And I almost forgot to tell you that your vehicles have blinkers too.

I can bet they all know that, traction control is enabled by default, and it’s actually super common to see them using their turn signals on the road. Hate to break it to you, but your arguments are just shit
