That _was_na BMW M440i (i recognize the wheels, color and slope of the back). It has a 386hp/398lb-ft turbocharged inline 6 with a mild hybrid system. BMW says it can do 0-60 in 4.3s, but independent tests have shown it can do 3.9-4.1s
Most likely this idiot used launch control in the parking structure wanting to show off and lost control, eating the pillar

Why would this even be present in a street legal vehicle?

I sometimes wonder why the US even has a government.

What the hell, that’s STOCK for a BMW M series?
That makes skateboards sound safe.

Yeah, I saw some assuming he was drunk but it is just as likely that this guy made a split second decision and jumped on it thinking what could go wrong I’ve done it before and poof.
People don’t like to view vehicles as murder machines but they very much are. If raising the front end 40% increases the chance of death by 40% to pedestrians and the only benefis were “I like the way it looks” or in this case the car being designed to accelerate at speeds that arent comfortable or safe because “I think it can be fun sometimes” at the detriment of others is just poorly planned.
Sure the guy is at fault, but so is the company that manufactured it, and the government bodies that allowed it on public roads.
If someone wants to have a hobby playing with and racing cars, that’s fine; but they don’t belong in public areas.

It can do 60-0 even faster.
