He seemed to put his foot down and then the car spun, typical beemer owner.

Strange that the video date should be wrong!

the BMW 1M did not make the announcement on building them untill late 2010

& there were none untill 2011

There were spy shots of them being tested on tracks in April 2010

How can a high performance car spin like this at seemingly low speeds? Gutted

Look's a bit contrived.

Wet and whitlines and rwd and possibly put foot down

Looks liked he panic'd and kept his foot down on the go pedal, if he had lifted off he might have saved that, altho it went very quick

Excellent, one less potentail tailgaiter on the road

Hong Kong! Typical queues on one of the main (busiest) tunnel from HK Island to Kowloon. Potential turbo lag?

The way they dab the brakes at 60 seconds on the video is like the driver is saying 'get of my ar53 to the van driver',

then they go to boot it a little bit further on and it is probably some of the hopless electric traction control and twin turbo stuff getting its knickers in a twist.

***?? do you think they set it up to get filmed and broadcast as a viral video? the van was a blocker and then a controlled spin!,

all publicity is good publicity if you want to sell 'drift cars'.***

Similar but different,

These automatic hazards on Fiats and stuff is really doing my head in.

70 mph (!!!) in the third lane and everybody holding speed & keeping distance and then a hazard light shows as someone dabs a brake.]

& Fiats slow speed 'auto stop' for town driving will cause loads of this type of stuff in winters no doubt, and be a joke to fix in years to come, or even when a tail light bulb blows.

(people that drive hire cars and even owners never seem to RTFOM.)

The amount of people picking up cars and then driving with no grasp or knowledge of 'Stop/Start' is unreal.

nice, lol wont be a write off but will make other peoples 1m worth more the less there are of them on the road lol !

Yes date wrong on the video ,loses traction at slow speeds , he was on the phone as he got out, I wonder if he was on the phone before, My lexus would do that in the wet if I booted it with no traction on, he possibly had it off too, but all you had to do was lift and it would come back

it was a BMW not VAG?

I would say Audi and BMW drivers tend to be as bad as each other. Very annoying and dangerous.

Personaly around here i find BMW, volvo and vauxhall drivers are the worst especially vauxhall insignias

lots of cars have flashers operated by hard braking (my old citroen C2 GT for example) and its not just "fiats" the auto stop at city speeds system for example is STANDARD on the skoda citygo

Fair enough if they activate under hard braking,

(that is what they should do, so you know to to react more than just a brake light showing)

i am talking about when they activate when some one must just touch the brake pedal.

(everyone is holding station and the car that flashes its hazards is not changing lane or going at a different speed, just out of the blue a hazard flashes, and there was no hard braking going on, the car does not even slow..)

I used Fiat as an example as those are the main ones i have seen it happen with. '500's'

Not been falling other many of the Citigo's on roads near me yet, (2 Up!'s about though)

infact i have not even seen one or read that is one of the features or options with them.

That will be another thing against them if it is a standard feature that could not be disabled. JMO.
