I realize this is an e46, but I think the lesson is still applicable to all of us.

Raw footage, includes slowmo of crash
Location: South Mountain Park, Phoenix, AZ

Driver Description: (19yr old driving E46 M3)
"Well it happened at South Mountain park in Phoenix AZ. One of my buddies and I were out just having fun and driving until I came up on a deceptive corner, misjudged it and it happened. No injuries. The car was a total loss. Misjudgment of the road caused the accident."

DSC "Off"?

Wow, just wow.

One thing for certain is he has no idea how to grip a steering wheel.

Good thing the dumbass had his seatbelt on. He would have been ejected.

aajami · 08-20-2012, 05:27 PM

Look how far off his shoulders were from the seatback. Gangsta lean.

I'm impressed that GoPro held on.

But why? He wasnt going that fast!

positiveions · 08-20-2012, 05:33 PM

He apparently didn't know the road well enough. The road was bending with a bump, his front tires became unloaded and he couldn't steer...

Snig · 08-20-2012, 06:20 PM

We have lift off!

Sean05 · 08-20-2012, 06:21 PM

probably 1st time on that road... LOL

MKE_M3 · 08-20-2012, 06:24 PM

I'm glad he's safe. We've all done stupid stuff in cars, especially at the driver's age, but that was clearly driving stupid. Perfect example of why canyon roads are differant than a track.

bga23 · 08-20-2012, 06:33 PM

When the road goes left the car should also go left.

Didn't even look like he was trying to make the turn. He has the wheel slightly turned going into the bend, then he straightens out as he begins to head off the road. WTF?

Crimson92 · 08-20-2012, 06:43 PM

idiot, im sorry a m3 had to do die.

or not give a ~16 year old a 333 horsepower sports car that isn't mature enough to respect it's capabilities, or can't drive for that matter?

In before all the younger owners on here get offended.
