Drifting BMW M3 Driver Taunts NYPD And Terrorizes Times Square

POV video of reckless nighttime drive through New York has understandably gone viral, but it makes for uncomfortable viewing

by Chris Chilton
Who’d have a performance car in a bustling city like New York? There’s just nowhere you can use the performance except for giving the occasional squirt of right pedal from the lights, and as for turning off the stability control to explore the on-limit handling, forget about it.

That might be the average New York driver’s experience of four-wheeled life in the Big Apple, but it’s not one familiar to the BMW M3 driver in this video. With an action cam strapped to his head to give us a full POV account of his trip through the center of NYC, he makes a mockery of city traffic, speed limits, red lights and, of course, cops.

But, while it makes for undeniably exciting viewing, be prepared to feel rather dirty afterwards if you’ve got any kind of moral fiber, like you’ve let your morbid curiosity get the better of you and clicked on a video of someone getting beheaded. Yeah, that dirty.


You say it’s just someone having some fun and no one got hurt? No, they didn’t, not on this occasion. But they could have done, and the minor spill the M3 has at the 3 minute 15 mark is a reminder that no matter how handy you are behind the wheel, the law of averages says you’re going to get it wrong at some point.

And that’s without accounting for someone – somebody’s mother, brother, girlfriend or son – stepping out into the road (when the crosswalk light says they’re legally entitled to). Next time, the pedestrians and other drivers of New York might not be so lucky.


Hopefully there are enough clues in this video – looks like a gray (possibly Brooklyn Grey, but we can’t be sure) 2023-on BMW M3 Competition automatic with a red interior to us – to help cops track him down, though of course it might not be the driver’s car. But how do you feel about videos like this? Are we pious killjoys or are we right to feel awkward about adding to this video’s already massive exposure? Drop a comment below and let us know.

But before you do that, check out this edited version of the M3 driver taunting cops in a Ford Explorer, drifting around them while they struggle to keep him in sight. To keep it all on-trend, someone has dubbed Wham’s Careless Whisper over the action, which seems to be the go-to soundtrack for crazy car videos right now, perverse as it may seem.

In a perfect world, the cop would have exited his vehicle while those degenerates were circling around him and mag dumped the vehicle. He would then have been hailed as a hero, and there would be one less G80 on the road for us all to have to look at.

Not a perfect world however.

I guess in your perfect world you have magic bullets that home in on your target, no bystanders, and no lawsuits.

[NickyC]

Yep, they're amazing. They only hit worthless degenerates who have no regard for the lives of people around them and ugly vehicles.

Bro if you think these people deserve to get shot and killed for what they did in this video you're in on the same level as them. Take a chiller.

Before they kill someone themselves? Yes, take 'em the hell out.

Well then I can only hope you end up in jail before you commit something atrocious so that society is safe from people like you. See the difference here? I'm not calling for your head but instead jail, that's my point dude. I'm not going to argue further, adios.

Yes, luckily the video was from inside the G80. Otherwise, yikes.

Seriously folks, take a joke once in a while.

This would have been good O/T material. This is really NOT "General BMW News and Cars" just because this a-hole was driving one.

[///MPhatic]

I mean, close to the sidewalks was fringe, but otherwise meh.

And if a cop would shoot at that they deserve to be shot themselves.

Driving like an idiot does not warrant being shot.

I'm always amazed when cops finally get the guy they've been chasing for an hour and they rough them up. WTF is up with that? They deserve what they'll get from the judge, not some idiot cop that can't hold his temper. Just once I want them to get on the horn and politely say in a calm voice "alright dude, it's all over, just lay down with your hands behind your back and chill." But they always shout like idiots, run up, rough the guy around, jerk him up like tough guys. Cops are just a big ass gang really. Nowhere in the law does it say a cop gets to rough you up because you outran him for an hour.

End rant.

[a5m]

Apparently driving laws don't exist in NYC. As long as you don't pull over you can do whatever you want and just drive away. Like that wheres981 guy. Speeds away and escapes the police and apparently all is good. OK...

[rantarM3]

That driver is a sociopath.

[Car-Addicted]

It's not like the lives of the New York City police is not hard enough, this A hole goes out of his way to make things worse. I hope he stretches a timing chain out of warranty.

[ash_schwin]

Hope they find him and prosecute him to fullest extent of the law.

[cmyx6go]

I'm amazed at this behavior. I can't believe someone would drive their own vehicle that recklessly. Is it stolen? Is it daddy's car? Or maybe daddy bought it for him and he doesn't care if he cracks it up, he'll just get another.

But to taunt the cops like that? Up their ass, blowing the horn. What do they think, it's a video game? I must be old. WTF?

Yep, and social media is the breeding ground. Case in point.

[Germanauto]

Boggles my mind how social media platforms like IG, Youtube, etc. won't demonetize/ban accounts that post this type of content. Clearly illegal sh*t that should not be tolerated on their platforms.

Anyhow, dude probably in the 500 credit score crew. Anybody can get financed on these cars nowadays.

... if they ever make it onto the track.

are takeovers at intersections still a thing? they were the rage on social media last year or the year before.

[BMthusiast]

Endangering human lives with your vehicle?....all the way out
