It's no secret that attending a car meet can easily lead to trouble, since all the showing off that takes place during these events, mixed with the rather tight spaces that usually host them, has serious chances of resulting in accidents. And a recent example of this comes from the UK, where the driver of a BMW M5 got in trouble.
The man behind the wheel of the F10 M5 was willing to lay down some rubber, which is why he decided to push the sedan hard in a low-speed scenario. Nevertheless, the shenanigan led to a sideways stint and while the driver worked to correct that, another BMW in front of him, namely an M135i, came to a halt, entering a line of cars.
Since the M5 driver was busy bringing the posterior of the super-sedan back in line, he ended up having too little time to brake in order to avoid hitting the M135i - this seemed more of an attention deficit than anything else.
The ridiculous situation led to the M5 hitting the M135i. Fortunately, the elastic properties of the bumpers seemed to have helped quite a lot. As such, the damage was minor, at least as far as the hot hatch is concerned (we can only see the M135i's post-crash state in the video, but not that of the M5).
That's when we showed you another incident that took place at the said velocity gathering. And despite yesterday's event being less spectacular than the one awaiting you below, the first is likely to cause more financial trouble - the meet saw a Nissan GT-R blowing its gearbox while trying to pull a launch control stunt, with a piece of the tranny landing on the road.

Experiencing deja vu? Here's why
Those of you tuned into our hooning tales might find the surroundings of the two BMWs familiar. And that's because the crash took place during a Birmingham meet we also discussed yesterday.That's when we showed you another incident that took place at the said velocity gathering.
