This happens to any car when you get anyone behind the wheel that thinks they can drive like most of us do! I have been going to watch motorsport events all over the world since i was a lighty with my Dad as he is a petrol nut and really got into the motorsport thing and now track most of my cars like tomorrow when we are at Kyalami with BMW Car Club Gauteng which teaches you how to drive faster and better and more important safer! 1 lap in the Bridgestone production car with a advanced driver will very quicly change your opinion on how fast you actually are.

Many a enthusiastic petrolhead has come to the track and skidpan and spoke of how fast he is going to be and landing up to be the slowest so get that out of your head and come to any of the advance driving, track days and other driver instruction days with a positive attitude and you will leave with a more informed and educated way of slinging your 1.5 ton weapon/wagon around.

My 2 cents:nonono:

Oh and look at this 1M completely intact still and will be for a long time still!:=): Market price will shoot up on these babies. The 1st photo in this thread is the same car at Zambesi busy getting fixed.

Reminds of a buddy of mine way back around '86 - a motor journalist by the way!

If anyone remembers one of the (actually the first) E28 M5s that was crashed in SA - it was done at Kyalami when journos were let loose in the fastest 4 door saloons at the time!

My buddy was the journalist - the driver - his buddy who took the wheel!

BMW did not give him a test car for years after that incident!

Anyway, the journalist is a great pal of mine who I'm very grateful to - he as given me some of my greatest motoring experiences of my life!

He always describes how aweful he felt after that crash! At that time, the M5 cost was R95 000 brand new!

But then, the bottom of the range BMW was around R18 000! :=):
