But my question is… why did the car have NANKANG tires? This is a 100k eur sport coupé, and you put it on econoshitbox tires to go to the ring… really?
question is how does he owe them a car real question do they not go to him and ask him to drive their cars just for clout at the end of the day. i dont know about you but if you came to me and ask me to drive your car hard on the track then thats all on you.
You're taking on that risk when you agree to let someone track your car like this. Misha is doing the right thing by replacing it, but it's hard to say if he's doing it regardless of the fact he has the audience he makes his money from to answer to. Who knows, but replacing the car is the least he can do. Maybe the braking issue is true, but it's also possible he slipped. I find it quite odd that he's completely dismissing the possibility for a forensic analysis of the brakes. Maybe there's something I don't understand that makes that impossible, but when you're talking about donating the chassis for research, it doesn't seem to add up logically.
you owe me a 10 second car not a 10 hour car... you could maybe tow it across the finish line! Pop the hood man pop the hood! ahh good old fast and furious
Ridiculous that the Nurburgring won’t allow you to show the crash footage. As if people don’t know it’s a dangerous track, stuff like that should be available for people to see to learn from.
The big guy gave you the Skinny. Chaos has a seat in the car, is stuffed in the Glove Box, or is frolicking in the programming of the ABS Module. Always. Leave room for chance in life, leave perfection for computer simulations.
I can see why the Nürburgring does it and its because of channels like Auto Addiction and so on. And I think its good that Misha cares but I think for cases like this the Nürburgring should make an exeption. Also you dont have to watch everybody getting hurt for your fun, I think thats a wrong thing to do. In this case because they didnt got hurt I guess it would be fine however.

Even The Stig during his open wheel career was told if he had "one more crash" he was done and had to learn to drive just under the limit. Crashing a car, especially for a budding racing driver in a small underfunded team, can still be a career killer. You might not be #1 if you don't drive to 99.999% of the limit, but it's still a win to continue and to race another day.

Hey Misha, first of all, glad both of you made it out alive and look in good shape. My team and I specialize in BMW tuning and coding and are happy to help with anything needed at restoring the car. We are based in Poland, Netherlands(right on the border of Germany) and in UK, so wherever the car is, we’re happy to help. No publicity needed, hencewhy im not writing this comment from our company page. We are genuinely interested in this project and will be glad to assist you :)
Repaired, this car would be like the "axe" that George Washington used to cut down the cherry-tree in the late 1700's. The handle's been replaced 7 times and the head has been replaced 3 times - but it's still the original 'repaired' axe.
Good decision to go to a hospital. I’ve just learnt about a broken (and healed) vertebrate in my neck and stretched spinal cord canal. According to my doctor. it was at the verge of serious consequences. My all riding/driving accidents, which could have caused it, happened many years earlier and I always felt well afterwards, so I’ve never gone to a hospital.
100% I had a 120-140mph crash in to some trees and felt perfectly fine but the scans told a different story. Internal bleeding and a fractured sternum 🤷🏻♂️
Perfect example of how cars are designed to sacrifice themselves, and NOT the passengers. BIG kudos to the BMW engineers, built a great car. Glad you guys are OK, that must have been scary AF.
Yeah, a really good car is the one that - in similar circumstances - kills itself, but lets you walk away just fine (or with minor injuries). And this is one of the reasons why I, myself, prefer to drive German cars (bigger ones, just like this one - I now own my second C-Class estate): they're just built better. And, if that's true, I don't mind to pay more for the car, as long as it can keep me safe in case of trouble
Hi Misha. I’m a physiotherapist in Australia, and of course, a long time fan of yours. I’m really glad to hear that you (and your passenger/owner) have no immediate damage to yourselves from your accident. However, unless you are built with ‘bullet proof connective tissues genes’, please take it easy for the next month or two. Every high accelerative and decelerative load your spine undergoes in your life can lead to long term osteoarthritic change, especially as your spine ages in later life. If you look after your neck and upper back now then this should minimise those outcomes in the future. This is not just my opinion but is based on long term research into spinal injuries. I look forward to more of your videos but please take it easy for at least a month or so to let your soft tissue injuries heal. I’m sure this is exactly what your doctor fan told you in hospital and they are absolutely correct. Good luck with the car rebuild. I will endeavour to contribute if I can (from Australia) to your Go Fund Me campaign.
You put so much trust in other people's builds. I couldn't go flat out in some random vehicle without testing. It's like going into battle with an untested rifle.
Yep, this. I've said it before but Misha is taking far too much risk here. This will not be the last serious accident he has if he keeps doing this. He's a great guy, I love watching the youtube channel, but I fear if he keeps doing this for long enough it's not going to end well.
Imagine watching this channel just because this guy gets to give you footage of lapping all these different cars around the 'ring, and then turning up your nose when they ask for *completely voluntary donations* - "free" just isn't ever good enough
@@RyTrapp0 yeah because it’s like a millionaire asking you to voluntarily donate money to them. Do you know how much money a channel like Mishas would generate? I’m not saying don’t donate, I’m just saying you’re an idiot to do so hahah
You don't know their bank account. Then don't donate if that's how you feel but don't say stuff like this. We are also talking about two human lifes here that very fortunately are ok. There will be a lot of people that will donate with or without your negativity.
Now is a good time to reflect on all the older, not so safe, or maybe questionably maintained cars you've driven at the limit, with full trust, and passengers/owners on board. It truly was only a matter of time, and youre lucky it wasnt worse.
Older cars don't have the technology that failed this M4. My E30 for example does not know what ESP or ABS is, so these technologies can not fail me on the track. Maintenance is something that does have to be taken seriously, especially when you take your car out on the Ring and drive it the way it was meant to be.
I have a 1993 V1 Subaru WRX. Very fast, only 1200kg (280hp) but ive stopped driving it on tracks. I know that any crash 60mph+ im pretty much dead. (I dont want to add roll cage to keep it original).
Assumptions and speculation ahead: If the ABS was still on and you had wheels lock on full compression (something bent or not enough space in the wheel wells), but not all of them, the ABS would lock out all those wheels when you are breaking, explaining why your pedal went hard. Having a non-race programmed ABS on a car modified to this degree is often better than not having an ABS, but in this case it might have made the situation worse. When building the new car, please make sure that there is enough space in the wheel wells so full compression won't lock the wheels and if possible, put in a race grade ABS system that will hopefully make the car better controllable in race conditions.
Auto tech of 20 years here, disconnecting the airbag module easily saved you a couple grand. I would def not try to rebuild this but if its only a track car why not. Anything thats cast aluminum/steel i would replace, you cant see stress cracks and it might be worse if you crash again. This 100% for sure needs a frame machine and for sure alignment when done. I dont ever mess with crashed cars for that particular reason, theres always damage you cant see. Glad you're alright Misha :).
I doubt that they will rebuild this exact chassis, to me it sounds like they will salvage as many usable parts as possible and rebuild with a straight donor chassis.
Maybe bmw can look at the data in the airbag module to try to give you some answers, if it is still in place, may not have deployed airbags etc but crash data is stored and locked after an impact, it records lots of different parameters about brakes, steering , engine etc, be interesting to know more about the cause of the hard brake pedal
You mean the so called FASTA- Data. They have nothing to do with the Airgbag- SG. These datas get recorded all the time and get stored. From this data you can see for example, wich wheel in this crash were blocked, at wich brakecaliper's the brakingpressure got to high or to low. From the pictures and the telling I think, there was a malfunction from ABS and DSC occured from a blocking wheel or the malfunction occured one or more blocking wheels. What occured the malfunction? Its just a guess: maybe 1 or 2 Brakepipe (or hose? Didnt know the right word) got squeezed. In this case the ABS/DSC would notice a paranormal rpm difference between the wheels. This causes the DSC/ABS to try to balance the difference. But the hydro- unit cannot lower the pressure of the blocking wheel, because the brakepipe is squeezed. So maybe the DSC decides to get the brakingpressure higher at the wheel on the diagonal opposite wheel to stabilize the car. The working ABS/DSC would explain the stiff brakepedal. Because the hydro- unit was trying to regulate the brakingpressure. Because of the compression and possible sqeezed Brakingpipe, the ABS was no able to balance the pressure. In other words: ABS/DSC noticed an implausible drive- condition: 1 blocking wheel to 3 spinning wheels at for the speed normal rpm. ABS/DSC was not able, to get the blocking wheel(s) free. As we all know: a blocked wheel cannot take cornering force and is not able to change it direction. My theorie explains some things of the things are telled: stiff Brakepedal, car go straight, not able to control or steer, white smoke on the picture. It might sound insane, but lift the brakepedal to lower the requiered pressure on the brakes could helped , to get the brakes free and than fully get in. Im not stupid: in such a situation, no one think about lowering the brakes. I think, Misha got the experience, to decide in fragments of seconds, how to steer the car for the best possible outcome. And this happened by instinct. His great skills saved 2 lives. Sorry for my bad english
@@supersix3285 That was my thought as well. I've had a moment like you describe with the ABS in my FR-S, thankfully only at autocross at low speeds and didn't hit anything but cones. In my case I believe a combination of funky road camber and cornering forces made the inside front wheel very light, the ABS reacted in a way I'd expect from the car being on ice. I got almost zero braking force until I straightened the car then released and reapplied the brakes. I'm but a humble sim racer as far as Nürburgring experience goes, but I can't imagine trying to resolve the same kind of situation at full speed in that part of the track.
@@supersix3285 that's interesting theory, is it not easy to accept it because next time when you will be driving BMW it will be question of trust - do you trust that ABS/DSC software won't kill you in non-standard driving situation next time ?
@@MartinVich it's not right to question the trust in BMW or the M GmbH. Because the M4 is a well rounded car in it's original condition. Im pretty sure with an original M4 without any changes, this wont happen. I would question the quality of the customination. I couldnt trust the work they did. But there is no way to blame BMW or the M GmbH. They know how to build a car.
In 2015, I survived a seven-fold rollover on the german highway at around 170 km/h in (what was then) a brand new BMW 225d. Caused by an unmarked oil spill. The stability of the BMW also saved my life... luckily you're fine. All the best!
@@fredsas12 that car is completely totaled, you can't fix it without making basically an entire new car, not the owners beloved car that he built. Imagine having your dog die, and then replace it with 1 that looks the same
As an ex BMW painter/panel beater. Seen many crashed cars of different brands and certainly I’m not biased to BMW in anyway but there A-pillar construction from basically the E46 era onwards are super strong seen allsorts of things like trees hitting cars or going under the back of loaders on a motorway etc etc and it’s always amazing how well they hold up and to talk to the customer and find they are relatively ok.
Don't know why they're even discussing rebuilding it. Its totaled, 100%. Would the owner even want the car rebuilt? He would then have a fixed, but still crashed car. A new replacement is in order to make it right.
Yes Watch the video, they're "rebuilding" it in spirit, saving as much as they can but they'll donate basically the entire chassis to bmw M/some research lab to study it.
It still amazes me how people went from relatively sane to absolute lunatics as soon as they got behind the wheel of my car. Never again.. Trust no-one!

Dang I got rear ended at about 30 mph and I got two bulging discs in my neck, had two cortisone shots and four months of physical therapy that’s still continuing. Oh and my first brand new car got repoed because I couldn’t work and now I’m renting a Tesla for $2,000 a month just so I can make something to get by until I can find a job that I can do now. 130 mph crash on Nurburgring in a monster BMW going airborne and pirouetting, this man gets a bruise. You sir have a guardian angel with you!
That door still opening and closing like it does after going into the wall at the upper limits of speed on THAT side says A LOT about the structural integrity of that car. HUGE kudos to BMW!! It’s incredible that that engine didn’t plow in through the firewall in any way. So glad you both got out seemingly unscathed, but this definitely puts a gold star on BMW safety, that’s for sure. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
I mean having your build broken is absolutely gut wrenching, but when your car has already had similar problems before that should have been addressed, and it's in the hands of one of the single experts of this track, this just happens. I feel that essentially zero fault lies in Misha's hands, what incredible engineering by everyone at BMW and the barrier engineers. Glad to see you safe.
Tbh I can’t understand why just the Nurburgring has a contract that doesn’t allow to show a crash, it doesn’t make sense at all, but it’s not the first no sense thing I’ve seen about this track. Glad you are ok btw 👍
The reasoning (not that I agree fully with it) is: If showing crashes is allowed there would be the risk that someone would try to crash purposefully in a spectacular way for the clicks. Another reason is then also the crashes of others would be shown even if they don't even agree or can't because they died or are in the hospital. And last too many stories about crashes would be bad for the public opinion of the track and would cut into the business.
Probably bad for investors and sponsors , when it known as one of the dangerous race track, also helps to stop media news channels to publish it i guess
I'm sure Auto Addiction uploading compilations of almost exclusively Nordschleife crashes has something to do with it. Whether someone was seriously hurt, or they're just not okay with it, or it attracts the wrong people, who knows. But I hadn't seen so many crash videos get uploaded from any other track.
So it should be the same about every track not just the Ring. I find ridiculous that they are pussies like this and then they let motorbikes ride together with cars on track during track days ahahaha. I still think it’s just ridiculous

The 'Ring' is a legendary beast, but even legends have weaknesses. Professional drivers understand this. They meticulously prepare their machines, ensuring every system is at peak performance. They wouldn't dream of pushing a car to it's limits that hasn't been rigorously inspected and serviced. This applies tenfold when you're behind the wheel of someone else's car, especially one that's been modified. Trust in professional mechanics, not in wishful thinking. Untested modifications by amateurs are ticking time bombs on a racetrack. Let this be the catalyst for a frank and honest conversation. The racetrack is a place to test your own skill, not the limits of an unproven machine. There's nothing wrong with pushing boundaries, but do it with a car you know intimately, a car that's been meticulously prepared for the challenge and do it alone! Reassess your approach. Misha, your near-death experience highlights the immense risks you take. While you may accept them, reconsider the impact on those who ride with you. The Nürburgring’s danger is undeniable. Professional drivers on solo runs manage their own risk, but involving others adds a heavy layer of responsibility. This brush with mortality should prompt a reevaluation of your choices. Your life, and those of your passengers, are precious. Take care.
@@DeFaustieven then, engineers didn’t build the car, they just told the workers where to put the pieces. That car could have easily been a lemon and they would have never figured out the genuine cause for the accident. Thank the workers.!
So pleased you are both safe and sound. With that said, I really do feel the guy is owed a new car. It will never be the same and will always be “that crashed M4” from RU-vid. I commend you for offering to fix it, but I feel a direct replacement would be more suitable. The risk of driving somebody else’s car unfortunately.
This video feels a lot like Misha hurt his little brother and telling him, "Don't tell mom! Don't tell mom!" Jokes aside, I'm glad he's going to make things right. And I'm also glad both of you are safe.
Bimmerworld noted that when the rear is lowered with shorter bump stops there is a binding moment in the geometry and the axle can bottom out on the chassis when the bumpstop compresses. When they spec MCS for this application they have longer bumpstops in the rear to help prevent the issue
Bump stops? Every Honda owner will trim down the stock strut springs to achieve the desired ride height instead of upgrading to an adjustable suspension. Easy reciprocating saw hack
You should give the video a watch. He specifically says they'd like to donate the chassis to BMW M engineers so they can use it for R&D purposes. They're only going to keep usable parts from this car.
@@DaveScottADV yes I also then understood that they're not rebuilding anything, he's getting him a new car. but it is confusing for him to have used that word given that there is not going to be any rebuild happening.

Agree, massive respect for being upfront and honest by Micha. Stark reminder that motorsport is dangerous, although we all around here love it big way!
It’s inevitable, the amount of laps you put in, it happens to all who race. Glad you guys are ok, be safe my friend. Sometimes it’s fine to drive a little slower we will still love your videos!
It’s different when it’s someone else’s car. He’s not racing he’s giving someone else an experience by driving their car. He shouldn’t be on the limit to the point where he is crashing multiple cars a year. You can blame whatever mechanical faults you want but the truth is over 3 cars crashed in less than a year is not good enough
I work in damage repair for insurance companies, this car is a “total loss” meaning ain’t nothing fixing it, will be cheaper to buy a new car and just start again, that chassis is bent beyond repair
I am happy to hear that you guys went to the hospital for the check up. In mid 90s, I had an accident and little that I did not know, my spleen cracked and leaked out blood. If I didn't feel that something was wrong, I would have been dead. My blood pressure was so low, that I could have not been alive. Had blood transfusion and my spleen was saved by a surrounding net.
Misha, respect to you for helping him to rebuild his car and admitting fault when it is yours. I am glad you are both safe from the accident. Cant wait to see it on the track in future.

Unreal that you guys walked out this. Props to the build quality of these cars and keeping you guys safe. Though I do think that in a situation like and from a guy like yourself that’s so widely known, I think there should be exceptions to the rule of showing crash footage. You’re a very experienced driver and know what you’re doing and I think something should be shown to highlight that it can all go wrong even with someone of your level of skill. Glad you guys got out and cannot wait to see what the future holds for this car and its owner. Onwards and upwards.
My friend always tells me that this is a very expensive sport. I pray you recover from this emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually and financially.
Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable using a car for racing that has already been crashed because there's always parts that are damaged but not visible. Buy a new one. Buy a new helmet too. Never trust a helmet that has been hit. Don't ponder on what ifs. You'll make yourself sick and you'll lose interest. Accept the risks of racing or bow out while you're still alive.
So glad to see you guys are alright and in good spirits as it could have been a very different story right now. Hope you both well and safe on your future endeavours on the track.
I know it won't matter and bring on the 'no one cares' comments.. but this is where I sign off. Been enjoying the content for a long time but lately it is becoming obvious to me that you're taking a lot of risk. Not saying that is the case in this instance because we don't get to see the footage. But in general I am seeing too many close calls these days. Not taking into account that there are complete novices driving around you. I think you are being way too aggressive in dealing with them.

Sorry, did you say “rebuild the car?” I understand what you’re saying about the legalities and handing the keys back … but I don’t think that would do well for your business. A big part of what you do, which inspires drivers all over the world, is your integrity .
So you’ve crashed this car, because of irresponsible driving and now you want to milk your audience to pay for it, but you are not even sure what you are going to do with the money. RU-vidrs start losing their minds.
I once saw and spoke to an owner of a BMW M5, car was a complete wreck went over a barrier down a sleep incline, the car flipped multiple times , the passenger rear left hand side wheel was the only wheel left on the vehicle, No Bumpers, Bonnet, vehicle crumpled, The Driver said he could not believe it , he still opened the door and climbed out the vehicle unharmed. The Driver was in despair as the insurance company wanted the vehicle to check the black box and vehicle as the guy was driving like a mad man on public roads , he went over a steep rocky edge on a mountain pass - I could also not believe the bloody doors still worked fine on the car, Rear windshield was also not broken? BMW engineering on their vehicles is beyond, Also no Roll bars - Carbon fiber roof , scratched and gouged all over but still in perfect shape.
Nice to see the safety of bmw and thankfully you both are alive. Escaped without even minor injuries. That's a miracle ! But I can feel his sadness through the video. You didn't apologize enough man. I hope he gets a proper replacement. Dude's devastated. You can see its not just a bmw, its customized, personalized, unique for him :/
I had the same thing happen to me at VIR two months ago....abs triggered early, no stopping power, right into tge wall. It happens! Glad you guys are OK
I'm not sure the owner wanted "that" much of an adrenaline rush when he handed Misha the key, but the guy knew the risks. Awesome friendship that they can smile about this afterwards. Looking forward to the colab and getting some form of this car back on the road!
I had a head on crash in 1995…me vs a 10 ton skip truck….i was in a Ford Escort RS turbo…a combined impact speed of over 65 mph…what I would of given to be in this BMW…I was totally fooked up for a long time with many serious injury’s..modern cars may be heavy but they are heavy to keep you and your family alive…my Escort RS folded up like an old coke can..old cars are cool but they did kill a lot of their owners when it mattered..WELL DONE BMW you built a safe car ❤️❤️❤️
This reminds me of the accident my brother was in with his S197 Mustang convertible. He was driving to work one fall morning. The roads were clear but it was below freezing temperatures and he hit black ice travelling somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 km/h on the highway. He lost control and the car spun and went off the road, hitting the guardrail in reverse. The car went under the rail and it ripped the entire convertible top and windshield off of the car with it. Somehow he still has his head and literally didn't have a scratch on him. My guess is that because this was a left hand drive car and it first impacted on the right rear, it threw his body towards the passenger seat, tucking his entire body below the beltline of the car. FYI this is just the factory 3 point shoulder belt he was wearing. I think if he had been wearing a 5 point harness like this he would no longer be with us. Very lucky to be alive.
For the average person, that may be true. But considering how often he is out on the track with different cars, he has probably saved more on insurance costs than it will cost him to repay the owner.
Six-point harnesses and especially the roll cage literally saved your life. I would never take my car to those speeds on the track without a roll cage.
Bravo misha de tenir ta responsabilité ❤ beaucoup aurait refuser je pense ou après quelques promesses il aurait plus donner de nouvelles... voilà un homme un vrai !! Misha tu es un bon pilote !! Mais tu es aussi une bonne personne ! ❤ Merci a l'ange gardien qui vous a protéger ce jour là !! J'aurais était tellement triste de plus vous voir sur le nurburgring 😢...
Nothing safe about a BMW with brake failure, suspension failure, skittish handling, high speed instability. The harness, helmet and roll cage saved him. The BMW tried to kill him.
@@mokodorali5975 funny how every crash Misha has gets blamed on some technical failure of the car, while others who do as many or more laps as he does don't crash at even one tenth of the frequency he does...
@@richardharrold9736he's driving people's builds that most of the time are hand build which adds on to the already large sample size of cars he drives. I think its more likely to run into an electrical issue. Idk if you really know what you're saying. Bmw is a very electrically taxes system.
As someone who races and has known a few people that have died on track, holy shit dude, hearing you talk about how lucky you were with that guard rail post choked me up a bit and damn near brought tears to my eyes... Crashes like these weigh heavy on the people that share the track with you.. Glad you're alive.
His lap / crash ratio is perfectly fine. Misha drives a lot, so he encounters more incidents/accidents. He drives on average 1000 laps per year so he is allowed to have a couple of moments. My crash ratio is about 1:500 (I'm working on improving it..) so if that was me then I would have two serious crashes per year. 😁
