For over a Year, I followed and subscribed to a YouTuber and fellow Bimmerpost member who also has a 2020 M550. Suddenly about 2 years ago, he just vanished. He was a prolific poster and made over 50 YT Videos. Now .....nothing.

He made several videos of him blasting down Florida Freeways at very high triple digit speeds. All those videos are now gone from his YT Channel.

What I "suspect" happened is the Police either watched the vids or caught him and arrested him. He may have crashed and died too. Who knows.

Anyway if someone knows how to track this down, i'd appreciate it.
Just curious to what happened. He made a few really good tips and tricks videos that helped me learn my car.

His name is CJ and here's his YT Channel. I dont remember his Bimmerpost name.

You seem to have a broken bromance.
Sorry for your loss.

LOL !

Not really. It's just such a mystery.
I check his YT page every month or so to see wtf happened.
When I knew his Bimmerpost name, is the same time he stopped posting.

I hate to think about it, but I think he died or something.
Cant see being locked up for 2 years for excessive speeding, but maybe ?

Maybe, there was another crazy dude w his own YT channel too driving a Bimmer (or another brand, can't remember) somewhere in Eastern Europe, like a total maniac, every video showed so many close calls. He finally bit the dust and luckily didn't take anyone else w him...or maybe his passenger, the memory is vague but hard to shed a tear for ppl like that.

If you're talking about that guy who wrecked his Lambo doing 200mph, yea I saw that. Such a waste. Even on the Autobahn I would do a "dry run" to see where the bumps are. That is what killed them.

Its why AutoTopNL has not killed themselves (yet) because they know the stretch they drive by heart.

That makes it even worse sometimes. You become complacent and forget to think.

I can see that point, but at least they KNOW where the danger parts in the road they're driving are on. Those 2 guys that were obliterated in that Lambo crash had no idea they were about to hit a huge bump sending them airborne to Death.

No, I dunno about the Lambo guy, he's another dude.

I'm drawing from distant memory but I think the guy I'm talking about drove a Bimmer and a 5-series too, lived in some Eastern European country...maybe the sleuths here can figure out who I'm talking about as I'm drawing a blank too lol. He made a whole bunch of videos and every one of them is the same, like playing a video game, he's literally inches from the other vehicles/ppl(!) he zooms past at crazy speeds, just playing chicken and all other insane things normal ppl would only dare to do in virtual life, not irl. So when I found out that he died, it was no surprise.

Oh Ok. This guy (CJ) was nothing like that. He would do regular runs for 0-60, 1/4 mile and frequent freeway runs on the Interstate or major Highways. I never saw him intentionally danger anyone else or anything like that.

It was just so odd to me that this guy "vanished" so suddenly without a note.
I could speculate some "Conspiracy Theories" as I have 24 yrs Miltary experience. This is exactly how the CIA operates............LOL

Damn, you're good.

Ya, I remember now, kinda ironic he was the passenger and the driver died too (that's why I thought a passenger died along w him, got it reversed). Boy, did he get roasted in that thread, and some ppl misunderstanding they were attacking his person, even though that specific accident wasn't his fault, he lived that dangerous life leading up to it.

Not really good. Those videos horrified me. We used to make fun of Chris Harris by splitting his videos with those from Giorgi.

We all knew he'd die terribly.

You know I meant *you're* good in your expert sleuthing skills.

Ya, not good how it ended but he did live in that life, but again it's ironic he died at someone else's hand. Still, luckily innocent bystanders weren't hurt.

What's that w Chris Harris? I dunno anything about that.

I'm not going to post links to the Lambo crash on YT or any of that stuff. There is a lot of it out there. For sure I can say that CJ did not drive anything even close to that insanity/madness from what I saw.

I did actually know what you meant. It's just those were SO well publicized they emblazoned on my memory. Like yours. I just remembered them just a little better.

Before Top Gear, Chris Harris had an internet channel a lot of us used to watch.

So we'd intersperse this:


With Giorgi's videos.

Think it's weird ppl merging Chris w that guy. Chris was/is a hooligan on track doing his 1-pony party trick of drifting but never endangering anyone.

Yeah, but the look of surprise on Chris's face that he wasn't dead in that one was probably the only way we could deal with the horror show that was Giorgi's videos.

Earlier days man. Earlier days.

Just wow.

[tranquility]

From that M5board, harsh but true:

If my hobby was shooting guns into crowded malls and I bragged about it all over YouTube and I was lucky enough NOT to kill anybody and one day I was with my buddy who was trying my gun doing the same thing and accidentally shoots and kills me PLEASE start a post that bashes me for my negligence and disregard for human life.

[zx10guy]

Same dumb$hit the squids would post up about their idiotic antics on their sport bikes. Then when said Darwin candidate crashes and gets killed, the sheep are quick to blame the person in the car or the cops. I have zero sympathy for these idiots.

Can you use your detective skills to locate my long lost Ex-Girlfriend so I can tell her how lucky I am that she left?
