Z4 3.0 driven fast on the road.

[15yrold]

Came across this video of a gentleman and his girlfriend driving on a country road in damp conditions:
edit: user deleted video but has now been recovered at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFlPy7ve3YI&fea...

the traction control light appears to be flickering regularly whilst he goes round corners well into 4th gear (100+ mph? it's hard to tell) and at around 1:18 he appears to go round a fairly blind corner on the wrong side of the road.

his other video gives the description:
18 year old driver (me) trying to drive fast... not very well! (there will be more videos coming soon if good feedback! getting a 75hp nitrous kit fitted in a few weeks!)

I am guessing that without the traction control it's fairly certain he'd of crashed and possibly injured himself and his girlfriend?

What happens if viewers leave bad feedback?

Where in the instrument pinnacle is the TC light? Where should I be looking?

That isn't going to end well.....

[MitchT]

Don't think he's going to be around for long. Hopefully his removal from the gene pool won't include someone else's.

Forearm flattened nose when the Airbag deploys?

Just to balance out the 'speed kills' gang, I used to have a 3.0i Z4 and pushing on it was quite easy to get the traction control light flashing on bumpy surfaces. All down to the runflat tyres.

[EDLT]

His girlfriend looked well impressed.

[carreauchompeur]

That wasn't good driving or even good, fast driving it was the driving of someone who's watched Fast and the Furious too many times. What an utter dhead.

[carinaman]

It was a reminder that some of my driving was dodgy when I was young, but I don't think I did any overtakes on a blind corner.

Does the 3.0 have a mechanical LSD?

Don't think they have a LSD. I drove it to the Alps and had no problems on the smooth roads in Europe. Bumpy roads in the UK however were a different story. Once I'd changed to normal tyres it was 100% better.

I hope the passenger got out of this car and vowed never to sit inside it again when he's driving.

No.

[Baryonyx]

Horrendous, on so many levels. The driving was appalling.

[lewisf182]

What a chubby little retard trying to show off to his girlfriend.

Surely most of that constitutes dangerous driving? I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard to track him down seen as his youtube ID is his name and his face is clearly visible at the start of the video showing him as the driver. Really hope he gets at least a talking too off the police.

We all love a hoon now & again but that was just ridiculous the overtakes he was making, I only ever overtake when its 100% safe to do so with long lines of vision ahead, not tight blind corners. what a tw@t.

[TroubledSoul]

Jesus, what a Tosser! Some of those roads were far too narrow for that kind of driving.

[Dave Hedgehog]

the section from 2.05 onwards just beggers belief, narrow lane, wrong side of the road, blind corner

that dick is going to kill someone ...

Given the conditions, his jerky, one-handed steering and stabbing away at the throttle pedal, I reckon there was more to that flashing light than runflats. Without a doubt some of the worst driving I've ever seen, he'll be dead before long if he carries on like that. Also, who the fk fits nitrous kits to a BMW? This moron thinks he is in the Fast n Furious franchise, it won't end well.
