Out of control M3 on Friday.

gds52 · 03-05-2012, 11:56 AM

Just sharing.
Friday evening, I was waiting on a red light and admiring a white M3 with agressive looking wheels on the other side of the signal in South Jersey.
M3 side light turned green, the guy turned to his left and pulled hard, dont know what happend the car spun out of control left n right, probably 3-4 times and then stopped on the road, every other car around him stopped at a distance.

It was quite a show, but im glad nothing bad happened and everyone was safe and ofcourse the Car.

I was wondering, could DSC or any other stability controls on M3 prevent this?

you would have to throw your hands in the air or be driving on ice to lose it. it's pretty predictable. it's not like he was coming out of a turn at high speed and couldn't get the rear straight.

later on I just checked the road closely. There were nicely drawn zig-zag tire marks on the 4th(last) lane, 2-3 feet away from electric pole and 10-12 feet from a water pond. The guy ws really lucky :-)
