I assume it was intentional then? No sound so can't hear if he was revving etc.

Not a mishap with some very old / worn tyres? I only ask as my old Michelin PSS were lethal before I changed them. Had one or two moments of unexpected twitchyness in damp conditions whilst driving sedately. Some tread left on them, but just old (7 years).

Supplying dealer did me the courtesy of slapping a pair of ditchfinders on the back of the 330 before I picked it up, and had quite clearly managed to terrify himself. I doubt there's a more accessable way to demonstrate the immensity between good and bad rubber..

Grumps.

As others have said, that wasn’t intentional from what I can see.

Damp roads and st tyres.

What is the significance of it being at 4.00pm on a Wednesday?

I guess a cheeky drift is more acceptable with less civilians around.

Else, why would they continue to boot it after red caught up and continued tailgating.

Most people have a moment of self-reflection after a squeaky bum moment.

Navy keeps their toe in.
Amazingly no one died as a result.

Whether intentional or not, it looks like good car control / recovery and driver should be commended. Video not worth posting really.

Had to watch it a few times to notice what you were referring to OP. I think the standard of driving of the red hatchback was worse personally.

BMWs have a bit of that built in. Watched one do a full 360 in the outside lane of a damp M4. Driver looked like he'd seen a ghost.

Its an older BM without all the TC & CBC etc of modern ones, crap road surface can be seen, add in dodgy rear tyres and he puts his foot down a bit too early for the slip and the back end goes wide.

This is not news to BM drivers.

Mine with TC and DSC will still break away in damp/icy conditions but will save itself, pretty much as in the video
