Scary stuff! I read about the accident a few days ago.
Thats what happens when rich kids get behind the wheels of a car that has way too much power for even an experienced driver to struggle at times.
May their souls rest in peace.

I wouldn't call him that! A car enthusiast understands his machine and cares for it. This kid did neither. I'd say he was just a pampered kid having fun at his parent's expense with total disregard for the safety of people around him.

Basically he needed to grow up a bit - sad that he won't anymore....

o lord. such crazy stuff happens all the time. recently some 19 year old got behind the wheel of a Lambo LP640 on open arizona state highways and wrung it to top speed and later put the video on youtube. fortunately nothing happened. but imagine running into anything at 210mph.

The M5 is a larger and more powerful and faster car than an M3 right?
