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
It can do 60-0 even faster.
Within the length of its own hood apparently.
I love it when people know things
Must be why you left reddit. 😏
launch control
Today I Learned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_control_(automotive)
Why would this even be present in a street legal vehicle?
What the hell, that’s STOCK for a BMW M series?
That makes skateboards sound safe.
Today, that guy learned as well.
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.
That’s the same thought I had, that’s some incredible acceleration to have a crash like that inside a building.
Fun fact, not even the most powerful version of that car, that would be the M4 which can do under 3 seconds in the xDrive variant.
But it has enough tuning potential that you could get M4 performance out of the M440i no problem. B58 is considered to be the modern day equivalent of the Toyota 2JZ, to the point that even Toyota uses it in the modern Supras.
Absolutely amazing how intact the cabin is. Modern car safety is phenomenal.
Back in my day, cars killed their inattentive drunk drivers. Now, they just kill innocent children.
the reason i’m a proponent of the adaptive cruise control systems is that i was very, very nearly in a 30 car pileup on the Grapevine (if you don’t know the stretch of road, I-5 north of LA, south of bakersfield. very mountainy and curvy, there’s always a fire or an accident when i drive by four times a year). It was foggy and the ACC saw the car ahead of me before I did, let us stop before hitting it and making it a 32 car pileup.
When I was growing up (80s and 90s) that size accident would have multiple fatalities. Only one person had to go to the hospital, and she was pregnant. They wanted to check on the baby. Everyone else just had light bruising/abrasions.
Modern cars seem like a miracle compared to what i started driving.
“Innocent children”? Do you have children? Because mine are assholes whose only purpose is to constantly terrorize me and keep me poor. 🤣
The future is now
I think that’s the driver at the beginning, sadly sitting against his wreck, but otherwise fine.
I was in a high speed wreck. Two Giant American Trucks filled with 8 adults. The adrenaline/shock was intense, but the only bad thing that happened was I lost my glasses, we were all fine.
Support column built by the same company that makes telephone poles for GTA
I hadn’t played since it came out really and played some for the first time again last month. My dedecution has been if it’s metal, you can plow through it, if it’s wood it’ll plow through you.
And then all the sudden a few objects will defy these assumptions and you wind up on the driving through a fence with a metal rod turning you into a pretzel.
You can’t park there, mate
Well actually…
That pole is incredible
Thank you very much.
That’s what she said
What do you mean “may not buff out?” Also some fresh paint on, and that pillar should be good as new!
The Americans should build their houses like this column, instead of paper mache.
They have a hard time even affording the cheap paper mache shit they make them out of now.
I can’t imagine how much more eye watering the price would be if they were made like this.
Could that be because companies use the cheapest materials and labour to then sell the houses expensively and reap massive profits??
That’s a lot of headlight fluid.
And zero blinker fluid as usual
OH NO ALL THE TRANS MISSION FLUID
we gotta get more fluid or the mission will burn out

I know it’s a parking garage and all, but you can’t park there mate.

The old shithead, leaning on the rear tire, is lucky his fuck-up did not start a fire. Revoke his driver’s license permanently.
Because everyone knows cars won’t start unless you have a valid license right?
Very true - because taking away his license wouldn’t physically prevent him from operating a vehicle, we shouldn’t do it at all. Because incremental progress is for losers.
That day is probably coming, where you tap your license to start the car.
You can’t park there mate.
Did he hit the accelerator rather than the brake?
also crazy that he got going fast enough in a garage to do that much damage.
No, it appears he hit the break instead of the brake.
I’m sorry, where is the fucking engine?
With god
i was hungy :c
How is my question. Also it looks like a modern art piece.
This guy must have posted just after you. His explanation seems likely.
Why is my question.
Why can’t we see the flux capacitor?
Because it’s in the back behind the driver’s seat, silly.
Just under 400hp with insane traction elements and lots of stupidity.
Has some light cosmetic work but low miles and drives great!
No lowball offers!! I know what I got!
Well at least the old dipshit looks appropriately miserable. I give even odds on his insurance dropping him after this shit.
I’ve watched this video three times before seeing this post and I thought the guy was handcuffed and had a hood over his head for some reason. Thank you for pointing out that’s his head.
Title is clean on Carfax
shit. hit the pole at 50?
Mach 50 I think
What does this button do?
But… How? There’s about 10m of space to accelerate, is there a pneumatic catapult for assisted take off?
Oh, I recognize this, it’s the first level of Driver on Playstation 1
Thought that was blood at first 😱
The spread of debris is honestly impressive.
Is this AI-generated? I can not put my finger on why, but it feels like it.
Sir, you can’t disassemble here
I love how the guy taking the video is delaying his reaction until the incident is fully documented.
Why would he do that?
That old corpse is the driver? Damn just stop driving dude.

It is amazing how fast this car must have accelerated in this rather limited space to make an accident like this.
Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
That’s exactly what I thought, that’s some serious acceleration.
Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Lots of crumple zones too… But yeah, lol.

It was some jackass doing laps in the parking garage. The cringe boy racer kids do this shit because if it’s not on the street then they can’t catch charges beyond trespassing.
FatVegan@leminal.space 2 weeks ago
Looks like it was the old guy next to tge car, no. Cringe behavior has no age limit. But realistically, maybe not everyone should drive 400hp cars

@Treczoks That doesn't look like a sports car, either.
SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
At least not anymore
TerraRoot@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Seems like a bmw/toyota supra, fairly fast. also as the camera whips to the dog right near the end I think that was the run up to the stop section.
lemming741@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
This may be a whoosh but-
Looks like a 15-17 Ecoboost Mustang
315 hp
0-60 in 5.2 sec
1/4 mile in 13.9 @ 98mph
Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It looks more like a crash car, indeed.
