Sad Day...

Indiana Jones · 04-30-2018, 08:54 PM

Quite possibly the first totaled F90 M5? Friend of a friend had a bad day...he had the car for one (1) week before the accident.

Oh no. Hope he's OK.

tcw495 · 04-30-2018, 09:17 PM

What happened?

Indiana Jones · 04-30-2018, 09:30 PM

From what I heard, too much throttle from a stop into a turn...heard he is fine!

drewzMMM · 04-30-2018, 09:59 PM

Glad he is ok!

DSC on!

walile · 04-30-2018, 10:09 PM

With the car ended up on the side like that, will there likely be internal damage to the engine due to oil starvation?

Damn; glad your friend is OK

BwoodBMW · 04-30-2018, 11:03 PM

Wow... with AWD didn't expect to see one of these so soon. Had to be nannies off right? Crazy, hope the car kept him safe and (assuming he was being reckless) he learns from this.

Greer · 04-30-2018, 11:04 PM

Was he driving in 2 wheel drive with no traction control on?

Yea, there is very little chance he did that with 4WD (with or without traction control). I've pushed mine on the on ramps and tight turns with 4WD and DSC off and car didn't even budge, finished the turn like a champ.

Like the blacked out M5 with the blue calipers. But man what a loss. Hopefully he's alright, those airbags look comfy.

Even with AWD and DSC, they can only do so much. There is a physical limit to the dynamic behavior of the car.

If you enter a corner too hot, the car is either gonna understeer or oversteer. Selective braking of individual wheels by the DSC still has an operating envelope that can be exceeded.

Hope your friend learned his lesson, don't turn off the DSC.

Many people think they can drift, but they can't.

Hachima · 05-01-2018, 12:50 AM

I'm not sure what happened but that turn around the gas station does look like it could be a lot of fun.

Lol, guess it's no mystery in what he tried to do.

DallasLife345M · 05-01-2018, 05:41 AM

It’s all because of that damn drifting challenge BMW did.

jc05e46m3 · 05-01-2018, 05:55 AM

Yikes! Rough day. Glad to hear he's okay.

DingolfingLove · 05-01-2018, 06:49 AM

Ouch.... I read somewhere that the MDM button was called the DUKES OF HAZARD button & every time I have pressed it, I have scared myself as all street furniture suddenly feels very threatening!

ps he was very lucky he hit the kerb & was flipped rather than hitting that timber post!

He lost sight of the main directive for docs and M5 drivers: primum non nocere!

Blaxwil · 05-01-2018, 07:57 AM

Glad he's okay. Could have been much worst.

basque76 · 05-01-2018, 09:32 AM

Should've gotten those ceramic brakes.

Ickdeep · 05-01-2018, 09:52 AM

Ouch; I hope he is okay. Its easy to replace a car, but a friend/dad/brother/etc... is just impossible. Drive safe people
