“Too Much Power”: R1.5m BMW M2 Coupe Crashes After Exiting Dealership, Viral Clip Breaks SA’s Hearts

• A BMW owner will be crying all the way to a steep car insurance excess after an expensive collision right from the dealership
• An X user, @Zikamnyamane, shared a video of a wrecked BMW M2 Coupe, looking like anything but right after it was bought

German cars are famous for their design excellence and sheer performance power, enough to turn even a conservative petrolhead into an adrenaline junky.

But one unlucky person fancying themselves a Lewis Hamilton in their BMW M2 Coupe 2024 would have wished they had put a pin on the false inkling within minutes of driving out of the dealership.

That's because the wheels had very quickly come off on their short-lived escapade through the city streets — literally.

An X user, @Zikamnyamane, shared a viral video of the crashed BMW performance sports car, with a price tag starting from R1,485,000.

They captioned the post:

"When you buy your first car, buy Uno, Tazz or Kia, so you practice driving properly."

They may not have had the wrong idea about buying a cheap jalopy, considering the undesirable, expensive mess that becomes with performance cars.

The 54-second clip shows the BMW M2 Coupe with its driver's side door smashed in, the right side mirror hanging off, and the undercarriage crumpled.

The video reveals that the back wheel fell off after extensive damage to the rear right axle, wheel bearing and hub.

As the person filming circles the car, more damage is seen, including extensive damage to the right rear fender, bumper, and grill.

As it happens, a female's voice is heard briefly narrating the events leading up to the crash.

"It has just been bought today. They drove the car for less than 10 minutes from [the] BMW [dealership] nearby. The car came here flying after crashing into another one."

It was all quite undesirable for the owner, likely to cry all the way to a steep car insurance excess after the collision.
