BMW M5 Nearly Hits Crowd Showing Off

For quite a while now, BMW drivers started getting a really bad rep. Amongst people’s complaints you could find not signaling when turning or changing lanes, tailgating and an overall smug attitude.

Well, it seems like those were the good old days now, as some drivers went even further. You’ll see what we mean around 1 and a half minutes into the video posted below, where an M5 driver nearly hits the crowd gathered to admire his extremely loud car at an auto event.

Losing control of the car can happen to anyone, in various conditions. That’s especially true for rear-wheel-drive cars, as even the famous Top Gear presenter, Jeremy Clarkson found out a while back.

However, what’s inexcusable, in our opinion, in the video below, is how this whole thing came to life: the man was showing off! Since he had over 500 HP on the rear wheels and a V10 under the bonnet he thought it would be a good idea to show the people around what he can do.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t as skilled as he though he is and it nearly cost two people a new pair of pants. Needless to say we weren’t impressed and neither seemed to be the crowd. Check it out! The action begins at the 1:21 mark.
