Lucky BMW E36 Compact Misses Nurburgring Guard Rail by a Hair

We told you once befor and we’ll tell you again: not everyone is cut out to make it as a great race car driver but some people go for it nonetheless.

The problem is that they endanger other as well and that’s definitely not ok. The biggest problem is not self confidence but misplaced confidence, as it must’ve happened to this guy, in the video below.

He’s driving an E36 3 Series Compact, a car that, even though is based on the E30 chassis, was never meant to make it as a racing champ. On top of that, he’s running on very skinny tires and doesn’t really like to break when approaching corners.

The result? He lost control of his car, of course, ending up on the side of the road but, fortunately, he didn’t touch anything on the way, his car coming out unscathed out of the whole event.

That was just blind luck though, and you shouldn’t go on the Nurburgring hoping to be just as lucky. Take it as another warning from us!
