Behind the wheel of the mighty machine, powered by a 3-liter twin-turbo engine with six cylinders and 510 horsepower, was a YouTuber who was given the car, worth 120,000 euros, for a test drive.
However, he managed to crash the "yellow-green beast" on the first run. According to Blic, numerous passers-by saw when the inexperienced driver lost control of the powerful machine and slammed into the pole while speeding. Fortunately, no one was injured on that occasion, but the damage to the car is huge.
The inexperienced driver was moving at high speed when he lost control of 510 horsepower and hit a public lighting pole. This is evident in the photos taken immediately after the accident, which show long braking traces on the road.
Despite the great damage he caused, the young man will not have to pay much in terms of fines, since those could range between 20,000 to 40,000 dinars and two negative points against his driver's license. As far as repairing the damage to the car itself, this BMW is fully insured, so the driver has to pay only 10 percent of the total amount of damage.

The company BMW Srbija confirmed for Blic that a traffic accident occurred involving the promotional model BMW M4, which was issued for a test drive, and that those who were given the car had been informed where it can be driven quickly and safely, and that they even launched a sports driving school with a certified BMW instructor.
The case has caused a great deal of comments on social networks, and also received some commentary from the newsroom of Vrele Gume, an outlet specializing in cars, who noted that driving a car with an engine of over 500 horsepower and, more importantly in this case, a rear-wheel-dive vehicle requires special training, regardless of how much previous experience a driver has had and how skilled they may be behind the wheel.
