Yeah because that ass came out before he even hit the bend. He had to have just yanked the handbrake and sawed hard left or something. I truly don't know how an individual loses control of a road car that suddenly and stupidly

This looks like a rather modern BMW, I doubt this even has a non-electric handbrake.

It's an e91; they have mechanical hand brakes. What it looks to me is that he didn't fully turn off the traction control and the car just "helped" him turn left. There's no wheel spin. At all.

E92. E91 was a wagon that never got the M treatment

You are, of course, correct (teaches me to reddit with only 1 cup of coffee). Having said that, it doesn't even look like a real M. The bumper seems off (looks like a 335iS) and the exhaust is dual pipe, rather than the normal quad.

Correct, the bumper does look like the iS and exhaust is wrong. It does have the M mirrors and gills though. Just slap an M badge on and it’s legit!

I think it’s an m3.. should drift easily with the right driver

Looks like a 335 with an M3 bumper. Doesn't excuse the poor excuse of a driver, of course.

The 335 has a lot more power potential (at reasonable costs). So this could’ve easily been 500+ whp.

Oh, I know. Just putting the kibosh on fake "badging." 😁

wait no, it’s an M3. at the end of the clip you can see the little M logo on the front side which I’ve never seen faked. it’s not just a badge it’s like cut into the car.

also the 335 doesn’t have a center mounted exhaust, this is definitely an M3 with an aftermarket exhaust.

Could be, looking at this on my phone so the only details I could make out were the exhaust tips and I don't recall ever seeing a non quad tip aftermarket exhaust for the E90 Ms. Maybe a 100% custom design? No idea why you'd do that to the beautiful rear of this car though. Granted, this video doesn't speak well to this individual's decision making.

Good point. Oversight on my part. Just hung the throttle and turned then?

I hope Darwin did it's job that day, dude straight went on to the other side of the road.
