This guy was fed up with his BMW

Do the failures make them undrivable? like mechanical failure?
I wouldn't want to be standing so close to that clumsy old man with that axe.
That russian that destroyed his A8 a while back did a better job.

There are alot of "mechanically salvaged" M5 and M6s. Yes, the problems usually make them unable to run. Many of them get blown engines or transmission failures.

I recently saw a similar video of a Chinese man and some of his construction worker employees smashing a Lambo because he was disgusted with it.

Interesting trend as I remember seeing this video awhile back regarding a crew smashing up a Maserati (http://autos.yahoo.com/news/maserati...213234369.html)
Random but related thought: funny how the commentary is different between this posting and the one over at the IS-F section (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...heir-cars.html) even though it's the same thing...

This is probably the dumbest thread. No offense, but everyone on here acts like lexus never has any problems when lately every other thread being posted is about an issue. I would like to hold the reputation of being respectful toward others yet still a prideful lexus owner, not a disrespectful community, trash talking every car that isn't a lexus.

nobody here is trashing "every car that isnt lexus", people are commenting on this specific situation where BMW couldnt solve car owners problem so owner staged PR to get them to their senses.
CL is probably last community on earth that you could accuse of talking trash to other brands, most of the mods dont even drive lexus anymore.
as to the German reliability, it is well documented in every survey known to man and beaten to death in various different topics... nothing unusual.

Wow! Did the sledgehammer bounce off the front quarter panel as he hit it?! I'd imagine the car would have crumpled in that zone.
Many buy a BMW or a Benz because it is a status symbol, not because it is the most reliable car around. When the status symbol starts giving massive problems is when these people are compelled to re-evaluate their decision to have bought one.

Clearly you haven't spent much time in Car Chat. We may bicker every now and then, but this is generally a respectful and unbiased forum. No one said we're perfect and we're all entitled to our own opinions. However you first say that lately every other thread is bashing Lexus and then you end with we trash talk talk any car that isn't a Lexus, sounds hypocritical. Its obvious that if we can cover both then we are mainly unbiased despite a few strong minded individuals on the board. Go to another forum like bimmerfest, g35driver, mbworld etc.. and you'll find far more haters and a rougher community

This guys video did what he intended it to do. It's blown up on all the car websites and definitely bad PR for BMW.
If you own an M6, you're car value just crashed and burned.
I don't think I would waste my time and money doing this, but hey, I'm not rich and trying to prove a point.
