Default Update for crazy Russian BMW drifter

Someone posted this video a while back. This crazy Russian was drifting through the city and dodging incoming traffic

No brain - Illegal street racing - drifting with BMW M5 E34 3.8 - YouTube

he's dead now. He was killed in an accident, but he wasn't driving. Story is they were headed down a mountain, no alcohol involved. Something happened and the driver smacked into a tree and killed the passenger, who was the driver in the first video.

Never like to see someone loose their life. Sad. Also glad he is no longer out risking hundreds of other peoples life now though also

Apparently he isn't as lucky as a teacher as he was as a driver. I agree not happy he is dead but you do stupid things and risk your and other's life's and you will eventually get hurt or die.

Sucks but if you choose to live that way, you often will die that way.

reminds me of that ghost rider guy on a street bike in a sweden a few years back who put out several videos...except on a bike at least the only person he was seriously endangering was himself, this guy in his car put everyone else on the road in danger..sucks he died but i gotta say at least it was only a tree that got taken out instead of a bunch of pedestrians or other drivers while he was at it...

If you don't think a motorcycle traveling at 180+ can't hurt anyone else, you need a reality check. Not trying to be a dick, but if a bike hits a car that fast, he'll take the ****** roof off.

I think what he meant was it would take the right situation for ghost rider to hurt and especially kill someone. Vs. the car could hurt and kill 3-20 people very easily.

Neither is smart but a bike wiping around traffic is much safer then a car.
