jimmy47785 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I like seeing Jay's automobile reviews; I saw one before to purchasing my SLK55.I recently viewed this and found it intriguing; however, I remain perplexed regarding the circumstances. Prior to this, I watched his review of a TVR Chimera and consider it fortunate that the driver was not in that vehicle. Some commentators on the incident suggested that it might not have occurred in a car less burdened with electronic features. In summary, it is an owner-driver in a new BMW 840 completely losing control of his car during a 'drive-by' being recorded by Jay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ML350_Colin Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 The video has a duration of 47 minutes; about where does the intriguing segment occur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianwh4 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 The intriguing aspect was that a contemporary luxury vehicle, equipped with several safety features, could become very unstable from a little acceleration while navigating a gently curve at a modest velocity. The situation deteriorated when he collided with a tree, which always results in adverse outcomes due to the immobility of the object. However, it ought to have been a film lasting no more than ten minutes. Regarding physical fitness, this appeared on my YouTube stream yesterday. The owner/driver was an active member at that time (November 2019), but I do not remember him referencing this occurrence. It is fortunate that no one was injured.

AMG33D Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Although there were no deaths, I believe that the automobile driver had significant injuries but is recovering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrishazle Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Activating the traction control light on BMWs is straightforward, particularly if the B58 engine has been modified and the car is equipped with P Zero run-flat tires on cold asphalt. The kickdown programming at wide open throttle on the ZF8 transmission delivers power abruptly, potentially compromising rear-end traction, which, in conjunction with the aforementioned factors, creates a scenario conducive to an insurance claim. The TC may be deactivated if your name is Hamilton or Harris, but for the rest of us, it is preferable to remain in Sports rather than Sport +.
