There’s little question about it. The newest BMW 7 Collection is a tour de drive of know-how on wheels. There’s a dizzying array of drive mode settings, navigation wizardry, customization, and, after all, driver help programs. However how does all that fare in opposition to one unhealthy driver, a jet ski, and a ship launch? As one unlucky 7er proprietor found: not nicely. A video that surfaced eight days in the past exhibits what not to do when launching a jet ski out of your $100,000 luxurious sedan.

Polish emergency companies web page for a neighborhood fireplace firm (Włocławek112Info on Facebook) initially introduced the story to mild when the incident occurred in early September. A video revealed to YouTube exhibits the BMW 7 Series again down the boat ramp — a bit faster than one would possibly anticipate — and into the water. A jet ski is in tow on a trailer. The motive force backs down method too far, instantly submerging the rear wheels after which persevering with to reverse into the lake. Nary a faucet from the brakes, too; the automobile quickly finds itself in water far outstripping its wading capabilities. In the end, the automobile turns into unable to depart the water below its personal energy. The fireplace firm confirmed up and pulled the automobile to security.
The Polish fireplace firm reported no accidents, fortunately. Other than, we think about, the 7 Collection itself. Whereas exterior injury appears minimal, there’s little question a considerable quantity of injury to the automobile’s electronics and presumably engine.
