Ah, but just take a stroll over to the technical engine section and check out the hundreds of threads by owners doing far worse... And give the dude credit for taking the time to produce the video. I give this one a huge

That was a pretty cool video. Funny guy

warmtoes · 02-05-2009, 09:34 AM

I found that video pretty funny. Most guys are too uptight to admit their mistakes and he did it in a video posted online. Gotta give him credit.

m7ammed · 02-05-2009, 10:21 AM

That was a good video

bdkevoIX · 02-05-2009, 10:44 AM

m3 went drag racing, first a little over 13 seconds

second run sheared the splines on the axel shaft, busted the hub

1310 overall cost to repair

hes right tho...these cars werent meant for dragging....those tiny shafts are proof

to production value!

That guy was funny. But nice to know he took the time to make the video!

Very well done, I wonder if he's on any of these forums. How many people here on this forum hasn't launched their cars like they "were" at a drag strip, I'm putting my money on almost none. Who would buy a 300+ hp car and not lay down the hammer once in a while?

I personally have never launched my 335i in the 2 years of owning her.

You gotta pay to play and in this case, the dude surely paid. Drag racing is not that exciting anyways..road racing is where it's at!

?? The car isnt that old, plus you dont know the mileage either. Its a competition package car which means its at least an 05 possibly late 05 since they didnt start production on those till Dec 04. 3 yo cars are not old.

Anyway, I am not a big fan of drag racing, but I liked the video he made fun of himself, and took the blame.

vegasspeed · 02-05-2009, 04:27 PM

I give the guy props. I hope others learn.

vgame64 · 02-05-2009, 04:44 PM

Great video, funny guy, and a sad story.

NewSong · 02-05-2009, 05:13 PM

Good fun, kept it on the track, sorry he had to pay though.
