Do you remember this guy?

i recon he got flashed by a speed camera and thought the only way out of his £30 fin is to total his car at a roundabout IMO

One less BMW on the road. That's got to be good in anyones book.

HHMMMMMmmmmmm!!!!!!!

One last way to kill your car, have a bit of fun and claim on the insurance for a new motor.

Couldn't he just ram the auto shift into neutral or reverse or something.

Darwin Award Candidate! :P

I want to know how he got 135mph out of a 318i automatic?!

Downhill---He was going towards Yorkshire so it was downhill all the way.

As for the ignition key, well a number of years ago my mother had a 406 which had a mind of it's own. It would start on it's own (without the keys in the ignition) for no reason at all! The main dealer took a year to acknowledge the fault and even then couldn't identify or correct it.

I'm with you guys on this one. I really cant see any angle where he would benefit from this.

Risk killing yourself and others for the sake of a claim, or even 3 points? I dunno, i genuinely think he had a problem and the BMW thechs didnt find it (or if they did, didnt want the bad publicity that goes with it) and are ahappy to let the poor bloke get done for it.
