Not sure what the circumstances were of this wreck and I don't want want to imply the driver was at fault , but one thing for sure , you need to have a healthy
respect for the power these cars can put out...even bone stock....and if your going to turn the nannies off you'd better be an above average driver....
One major factor in almost all the wrecked 1M's I bought and fixed was worn out tires....
not sure that tires had anything to do with this M2C going off the road but if the temperatures were low and the driver didn't get some heat into them it would be like driving on ice.....
just my 2 cents.....
Im in the process of rebuilding a 2018 M2 that I just bought at auction in Nevada.....car had about 4500 miles on it and yes, all 4 tires were toast.....Continentals to be more specific....
Ill be keeping my eyes open for a M2C to rebuild....
Please drive safe and make me wait along time for one.....
