Komo 4 news fail.

They said it was a Mercedes that crashed this morning on 405 but it was a brand new M5.

Why can't rich people learn to drive.

Besides, it's M6. Not M5 as you mentioned.
There is no such BMW M5 coupe

The rims are the same sorry. Couldn't tell from the half second video clip. Thanks for the correction, either way at least I could tell it was a bmw. How do you waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles that up when you can see the letters written on the damn wheel.

Look at it this way; Mercedes drivers look bad and not BMW if people honestly believe it was one.

Mmm not the same wheels either. M5's use different wheels. Double fail.
