M3AN 4016 Report post Posted November 7, 2015 I'm assuming you mean too high? That tender would seem reasonable to me if not too low. If you've got the spare cash I'd be at that if not more. Engine and tranny package alone out of that would be a steal for 6k. Personally wouldn't be posting my tender price on here though... Yeah, I think $6k is too high but I'm pretty uninformed on these things. From my perspective the risk of buying a wreck with a potentially dead engine is just too great for $6k.

qube 3570 Report post Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) this is a faily old video and the owner of that vehicle is (from what a remember) a good driver and have owned many different bmws/expensive cars and is a forum member. Also he posted up a fairly longish summary of what happened and what he believes was the cause for the irratic/random behavior. also the damage wasnt as bad as everyone thought edit: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1075458 Edited November 11, 2015 by QUBE 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qube 3570 Report post Posted November 11, 2015 in my opinion, given that he A) didnt try to do some drift/powerslide when near the crowd but waiting until the clear before giving it some jandal attempting to correct before realising too late that it wasnt going to happen and C) straightening up to hit the middle island straight on shows that hes probably not a complete fool and made all the right decisions given the whole 5 seconds it took for this to happen.

qube 3570 Report post Posted November 11, 2015 There wasnt a 5 second window for reaction more like 0.5 seconds before the car violently snapped out. The 5 second i was referring to was from the moment he put his foot down to when the car lept over the middle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

polley 916 Report post Posted November 12, 2015 He's a f**king retard. 0.5 seconds is ages when things start to go pear shaped. And you can see from the video he hardly counter steered, he was either asleep or hopeless. It was a low speed tiny power slide 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matth5 471 Report post Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Hardly looks like it snaps. My 335i has veered off to the side a few times when using launch control on crappy, near finished, Bridgestone runflats. Just lift off and countersteer. Maybe that guy had aids off completely, I had them reduced (DTC mode). Wheels were instantly spinning and making a smoke cloud upon takeoff, car rotated as it moved forward..and it was easily controllable. I know an M4 is more powerful but it has a limited slip diff, so shouldn't be harder. I think he was half asleep Edited November 12, 2015 by Matth5 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
