This is not a chase. It's a mistaken identity. Someone just test driving the car...

Well, glad I got the black leather interior. A lighter interior doesn´t look good on TV.

Is anyone else watching?!?!!

"Look at him go!"

Did anyone see that random utility truck try to slow that help the cops and block in the e90? But the guy just zoomed past them all, like Barry Sanders back in the day or something!

The news announcer just confirmed it's a 2006 BMW 330....
"255 hp to go 0-60 in 5.2 seconds"

"a Honda has like 160 HP"
