The driver lost his license for six months, but as he did not have the car, the BMW plates avoided confiscation

- A BMW M3 competition was timed at 197 km / h (122 MPH) in an area of 70 km / h (43 MPH).
- The performance sedan was motivated by a 21 -year -old in a suburb of Sydney in NSW, Australia.
- The agents suspended their driving license for six months and issued a fine of $ 2,595 to (US $ 1,650).
Taking the wheel of a high power performance sedan at the beginning of their twenties is a bit like giving a toddler a chainsaw – technically possible, but almost always a bad idea. The responsibility, unfortunately, is not always installed in the factory. This is exactly what was played in Australia, where a 21 -year -old driver was surprised almost triple the speed limit in a BMW M3 competition that did not even belong to him.

The police said that the M3 had been timed by demolishing Captain Cook Drive in Woolooware, a suburb in Sydney, at 197 km / h (122 MPH). It is on a road with a displayed speed limit of only 70 km / h (43 MPH), which means that the driver exploded at 127 km / h (79 MPH) on the limit. Fortunately, the incident went late on Sunday evening, when traffic was light enough to avoid transforming reckless driving into something worse.
No car, no license, no sympathy
The police pulled the M3 and quickly realized that the driver did not have the car. This minor detail has experienced the BMW license plates to be entered according to local rules, but it has not done much for the driver’s immediate future. His license was fired on site, suspended for six months, and he received a fine of $ 2,595 at (US $ 1,650) to exceed the speed limit of more than 45 km / h (28 MPH).
The photos shared by the command of traffic and the Southern New Wales Road Patrol on social networks reveal that the M3 in question was a black G80 generation model. Adding a little irony, the “road patrol interception vehicle” that was not marked which stopped it was also a BMW, this time a gray sedan in series 5.

For the context, the BMW M3 Prefacelift competition is equipped with an online engine online 3.0 liters with double turbocharger, good for 503 hp (375 kW / 510 PS) and 650 Nm (479 LB-PI) of torque. In the recent updating in the middle of the cycle, BMW has slightly increased the ante, hitting the xDrive variant to 523 hp (390 kW / 530 PS). It is not exactly a car that needs a lot of encouragement to get in trouble.
With a time from 0 to 60 MPH (0-96 km / h) from only 3.4 to 3.9 seconds, depending on the configuration, it does not take much effort (or a lot of road) to push the M3 in dangerous territory. Hopefully this young driver takes the aisle and keeps any need for the future for the speed confined to a race track, where the worst consequence is generally the wear of the tires, not a revoked license.
German Autobahn has sections without a speed limit, giving free drivers of the binding to stretch their car legs. On the other hand, the strict speed limits of Australia amounted to 130 km / h (81 MPH) on certain roads, with most of the highways capped at 110 km / h (68 MPH).
