The almighty BMW M4 Coupe is popping-up in our news again, this time the model getting completely crushed in South Africa.

We are talking here about a terrible road accident, taking place in Klerksorp, South Africa, where the BMW M4 Coupe`s driver apparently lost control of the car and ended up on the side road. Luckily, the driver wasn`t hurt, but he was immediately rushed to the hospital.

I fell it is my job to warn all drivers that own such a model, as the BMW M4 Coupe is a nasty mean machine and obsessive care must be carried out when handling it on the roads.

Speaking about power, we have to remind you that the BMW M4 Coupe is fitted with a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder unit, which outputs an impressive 431 horsepower and a good 550 Nm of torque.

Handled correctly, the M4 Coupe can reach the 100 km/h straight line in just 4.1 seconds, and that at a top speed, electronically limited, of 250 km/h. Not to mention the raised 288 km/h top speed, when fitted with the M Driver`s Package.

So don`t forget to respect the extraordinary BMW M4 Coupe and it will respect you back.

I’m serious. Do you want a cheap BMW M5? Don’t worry, it’s not one of the old ones that’s been run by the vikings several times around the world.

We’re talking about a brand new F10 BMW M5, one that comes with all the toys and so on yet it is on the market for a very small amount of money.

So how small would it be for a BMW M5 to qualify as cheap? In the case of the F10 it’s just €31.990 or roughly 40.000 USD.

That’s considerably less than the list price and even if you get some sort of insider’s discount you’ll still need to pay at least some 90.000 USD to get one.

The one for sale here even has some extra kit in it. Once again, there’s no issue about it having done several million miles.

Only 1500 miles appear on the odometer. It sounds like an incredible deal on a cheap BMW M5 but, much like anything else on the second market, a very low price means there’s a massive problem with it.

In this case, the problem is that while the engine and gearbox are fine, the rest of the car was massively damaged in the first F10 M5 crash on the Autobahn.

Too bad. A great car such as this deserves to be more than just a spare parts bin for cars like it that are still on the road.

Mind you, fixing it up isn’t possible since there is some considerable damage to the passenger safety cell and fixing it, if possible, would cost a whole lot more than a new car.

Not everything about the F10 BMW M5 is great news. After joyous reviews, immense happiness and remarkable performance we’re put in touch with the dark side of this car.

A new bit of news about is sad, borderline on tragic really as the first ever major accident involving one of these sport sedans.

It happened on the Autobahn, at tremendous speed and ended with two people seriously injured and a completely ruined BMW M5.

The incident occurred as the driver was going along at a speed of 186 mph and he had to swerve in order to avoid another motorist.

Thus, he hit the lane divider, was thrown back out of it, sent rolling over several times and eventually came to a halt on the grass just outside the Autobahn.

It is remarkable that under these conditions a 60 year old driver and a 20 year old passenger both survived. Naturally, they’re seriously injured but the important thing is that they’re alive.

Part of their survival is due to the great design and engineering that went into the road network in Germany and the passenger cell of the M5 and part of it is due to the conditions.

The F10 BMW M5’s driver was followed by two of his sons, one drove a BMW M6 and the other drove an M3. I wonder what’s the family’s favorite brand.

Both arrived on sight very fast and after the whole thing and used a fire extinguisher to control further damage and immediately called the authorities.

Sadly, the driver that made the mistake of getting in the way at such speeds has fled the scene of the accident and he’s yet to be identified.
