The greatest thing about this video is the relief you feel that these fools will be dead soon so won't be able to put other peoples lives at risk anymore.

I dont think thats an M5. Its has chrome trim instead of shadowline. But looking at the amount of torque it has, it got me confused. Or could it be they're using drift slick tires.
License plates are saudis, that Im sure of

Nothing stopping anyone from ordering an M5 with chrome trim (unless they're in the U.S.).

There seems to be a lot of these videos of people in arabic countries doing this kind of thing. Plenty with police just looking on powerless to stop them. Plus they know the more expensive the car, the more chance they're kids of royalty or extremely rich families so they ain't staying in jail. Here's one showing how things go wrong:


Probably re-re-re-post, but here's some jerk giving BMW drivers a bad name:

the first link is a stupid hobby that dumb uneducated people have. They buy a 8000$ car or less and just do stupid stunts.

The second link is not an Arab.

Those idiots that film such things, make Arabs sound and look stupid. Same goes with actors who play stupid parts in movies where they know nothing about technology nor civilization. Thats just stupid propaganda. There are many arabs that are well educated and do not do such stupid stunts nor acts.

Similar to the propaganda regarding BMW drivers, which drives me absolutely crazy.

PS: No, Lebanese people are not Arabs, We're Phoenicians. Same thing with Iranians, they're Persians and Israelis are Jews. We're middle eastern, but Not everyone in the Middle East is Arab.

nothing new. Lived in Saudi Arabia as a kid and saw 12-13 years old driving suburbans 100+mph and wrecking it and coming out laughing. More money than they can deal with.

That's why I said arabic countries. I only ever heard of this kind of thing happening in Saudi Arabia and UAE. In Israel the price of cars is so jacked up by taxes that would never happen. In Iran the trade embargos take care of them not doing it. As for Lebanon, Qatar and the like, they have the money but not the stupidity
