After an event taking place at the Cars & Coffee in Blackhawk, California, an astonishing BMW M4 all wrapped in a Sakhir Orange finish, has lost control and ended up in the median which separates the two road sides.

The minor incident was also caught on camera by a passerby who was seemingly filming the model while cruising the roads after the event.

We are not sure what the driver wanted to do, but he managed to avoid the light pole and the heavy traffic, with no severe injuries.

Unfortunately for the brand new M4, there were some damages, but hopefully the sports car will be taken to the auto shop and prepared for some minor repairs.

The new BMW M4 Coupe model is ending up in our news again, this time with the model in question ending up in a crash in London, after damaging other three vehicles.

The driver of the BMW M4 was seemingly speeding in the crowded city of London, a fact which led to a serious collision, hitting a Toyota Prius as well as a Volkswagen Golf.

Along the way, there was also a BMW 220d being damaged, while the Volkswagen Golf will surely end up in a scrap yard, being destroyed beyond repairs.

The BMW M4 Coupe is powerful enough to cover the entire 0 to 100 km/h mileage in just 4.1 seconds, due to its high-end 3.0-liter six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo unit.

The engine develops 431 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, being electronically limited at the top speed of 250 km/h.

The BMW M4`s speed can also be raised to 280 km/h, if equipped with the M Driver`s Package.

A brand new BMW M4 Coupe crashed today in Munich, Germany, eventually ending up in two trees, due to a 24-year driver that seemed to have lost control of the sportscar.

As seen in the photos, the driver was excessively driving the new BMW M4 Coupe and ended up in some trees, after losing control while trying to get through a corner.

Even if the BMW M4 Coupe model seems to be completely destroyed at the front side, the young and unexperienced driver managed to get away only with just minor injuries and taken to hospital for general investigation.

The new BMW M4 Coupe crashed is taking its power from the same 3.0-liter six-cylinder unit, also found on the M3 Sedan and M4 Cabrio, developing a great total output of 431 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque.

Imagine the power that it sports, as the BMW M4 Coupe is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds, the sportscar having a top electronically limited speed at 250 km/h.

We all know the horror stories that come from the Nurburgring about incidents and crashes don’t we? What we seriously think about each of those incidents is that it happens to idiots who can’t drive.

No this time though, the latest Nurburgring news about a crash featuring the 2012 BMW M6 in all of its camouflaged grace.

There are some special conditions to take into account but the bottom line is that the better looking, less practical version of the BMW M5 crashed during Nurburgring testing.

At the time of the unfortunate incident, the 2012 BMW M6 was involved in a serious endurance test around the Green Hell.

The test was supposed to last for 300 laps around the famed circuit only it wasn’t exactly successful as it ended a few laps short of the checkered flag.

I know the test was a fail and that the Bavarians in their German nature are going to be disappointed about it but having managed 282 laps on a track that’s 12.9 miles long isn’t something to cry about.

Still, it means that for some time the number of possible spyshots of the 2012 BMW M6 rolling about will probably be soon reduced as there’s less test mules to go around.

It’s very likely that the convertible version of the BMW M6 is about to go through much of the same treatment so the number of spyshots may not be on that much of a decline after all.

The pictures come courtesy of worldcarfans who’s editorial staff managed to catch the crashed 2012 BMW M6 just as it was being loaded onto a flatbed and covered up.

Pending these images the banged up 2012 BMW M6 the car will probably be taken in and analyzed with the upmost of the care and precision to find out what went wrong.

According to a recent report BMW have announced their dealer network to stop deliveries of their 1 Series model, particularly the cars produced between January 2010 and May 2010.

This measure has been taken after there is a concern about some of the 2008-2011 model year 1 Series coupes and convertibles.

While the decision may seem alarming, the fact that repairs will begin immediately suggest the problem targeted may benefit from a quick and easy fix.

The issue at hand was uncovered by Consumer reports, when studying some dealer documents, and consists of the vehicles affected not having sufficient clearance between the seat belt tensioners in the B-pillar and the insulating material surrounding it. In the event of a crash, the insulation could overheat and, eventually, catch fire.

Owners will be notified to bring their vehicle to BMW dealers to fix the problem. Dealers will trim the insulating material around the seat belt retractors free of charge. Speaking of owners bringing in their vehicles, an actual recall hasn’t yet been scheduled so most likely it’ll be owner awareness playing a key role and the mail system.

As you can see in the title, I wanted you to proof how safe can be a BMW. This post is more dedicated to the anti-fans of BMW or for those people that doesn’t know what to think about BMW or even to the fans of BMW because any of my posts is dedicated to the fans of BMW.

As you can see in the photos, this BMW 3 Series Coupe is pretty ‘hurt’ but it is still in one piece, I would expect from other cars to dismantle but as BMW always doesn’t disappoint us, it didn’t dismantled.

We can notice from the photos that all the airbags are opened so this may save the life of the driver and the passenger. Yes, the driver and also the passenger escaped from this ugly accident unhurt. Anyway, BMW is just much safer, this doesn’t mean that you should try to fly with your BMW.

Since the appearance of new spy photos of the 2009 Z4 people have started to talk about this new coupe. Many would say that this could be a nice car, but I think it is beautiful since it’s birth in 2002.

When you think of coupe’s, you usually think about speed and power. However, the Z4 always scored high in crash testes, making it a viable car for any type of road. The only disadvantages that can be found when test driving the Z4 are space and position. This happens with any coupe and the flawless design certainly makes it worth the ride. If you like sport cars, you won’t mind the position and if you want to travel from A to B, space won’t be a problem.

The 2009 model is still well hidden from public eye, but anyone can enjoy the shapes of the 2008 BMW Z4.
