That was a BMW M440i (i recognize the wheels, color and slope of the back). It has a 386hp/398lb-ft turbocharged inline 6 with a mild hybrid system. BMW says it can do 0-60 in 4.3s, but independent tests have shown it can do 3.9-4.1s
Most likely this idiot used launch control in the parking structure wanting to show off and lost control, eating the pillar
That's the same thought I had, that's some incredible acceleration to have a crash like that inside a building.
Fun fact, not even the most powerful version of that car, that would be the M4 which can do under 3 seconds in the xDrive variant.
But it has enough tuning potential that you could get M4 performance out of the M440i no problem. B58 is considered to be the modern day equivalent of the Toyota 2JZ, to the point that even Toyota uses it in the modern Supras.
I've heard that the only thing slowing down cars now is tires. Like we can make motors or ICE hit the wall of material science in the rubber meeting the road.
It can do 60-0 even faster.
Within the length of its own hood apparently.
Yeah, I saw some assuming he was drunk but it is just as likely that this guy made a split second decision and jumped on it thinking what could go wrong I've done it before and poof.
People don't like to view vehicles as murder machines but they very much are. If raising the front end 40% increases the chance of death by 40% to pedestrians and the only benefis were "I like the way it looks" or in this case the car being designed to accelerate at speeds that arent comfortable or safe because "I think it can be fun sometimes" at the detriment of others is just poorly planned.
Sure the guy is at fault, but so is the company that manufactured it, and the government bodies that allowed it on public roads.
If someone wants to have a hobby playing with and racing cars, that's fine; but they don't belong in public areas.
I love it when people know things
Must be why you left reddit. 😏

Why would this even be present in a street legal vehicle?
Same reason Jeeps have more ground clearance and suspension travel than they need to operate on public roads. Some people use their vehicles for both transportation and recreation.
Money.
I sometimes wonder why the US even has a government.
Incidentally that’s a German car that’s sold worldwide with that feature. Japanese, American, Chinese, British and other cars have that feature too.
It did, once.
Before the dark times.
Before the Empire.
An artifact of more sensible times. Besides, without it how would we even know who our glorious leader was?
🙄🥺
What the hell, that's STOCK for a BMW M series?
That makes skateboards sound safe.
That's been pretty common in high end performance cars for over a decade. Good for Darwin awards.
Fortunately it's also noisy enough that you can IMMEDIATELY tell and get the fuck out of the way. EVs need to start making noise like that lol.
The Grand Tour did an absolutely hilarious take on it, even Clarkson agreed it's stupid in street cars
Today, that guy learned as well.
