Drifting could be, sometimes, characterized as poetry in motion, as long as you don’t take it on the public streets. Otherwise, it would be madness.
That didn’t stop this overenthusiastic BMW M4 owner to show-off his skills (and the vehicle’s abilities) in Moscow, pushing the limits of his automobile in the most inappropriate (and probably illegal) ways.
The video description might say that everything was staged for the making of the footage, performed in cordoned off streets by a professional racing driver, but judging by the traffic, that’s not true, or the term “cordoned off” differs greatly in Russia.
After seeing the amount of space the M4 needs to perform a powerslide, and how wide it goes during the maneuvers, it becomes abundantly clear why these sort of stunts should be reserved exclusively for the track.
Regardless of how skilled the driver is, the typical Bavarian brute still has 425 HP and 550 Nm (410 lb·ft) of torque ready to bite at any given moment; However, this might be far from what’s considered standard in Germany, especially after taking a look at the other videos on this Youtube channel – particularly to the one where a similar colored M4 gives a F12berlinetta a run for its money.
