It was here:

But the old link is dead.

my fault then...
here's a better vid then, if you dont mind watching a bmw m3 outrun the police...
funny how they make it seam like he was caught at the end, it's actually the same footage of the driver breaking earlier in the get away. had to teach america's youth some how that they can't get outrun, even if they had to lie
bmw m3 vs. camaro cop car

Has anyone seen Mischief 3000, where they film the Gumball 3000 in a BMW M3 show car?....some sweet video of exotics at speed.

they have a bad ass clip somewhere of a nissan 350z touring through some other country on narrow roads and the sound is just awesome with the exhaust and motor revving high all over the place. i think i saw it on speed channel a while back, would be neat to have a link to it...

i had a M3 E36 before my X...

awesome car... i had Dinan done to it... the thing was fast... scary fast... hard to let go of, but i am happier with the X.

now there is a E46 in the house too, even faster... (mom's)

Its called "The Run" and is available on DVD.

Its fun to listen to it in surround sound. :p

That was awesome - I wonder how that cop felt being punk'd by a 15 year old kid.

BTW: I don't really understand what happened to the H2 - looks like maybe their passenger-rear wheel got hung and all of the power he put into it dragged the front wheel far enough forward for it to fall over that rock...

It does kick ass! I need to go for another test drive! Prague is where they did the filming. The car can be watched from 4 different ways during The Run!

can you download it anywhere, did a search w/ bearshare, got nothing, my kazaa is down so couldnt look there

Shheesh, spend the $9.95!

why spend 10 bucks when a simple question would allow me to get it for free? it's not being cheap, it's called being frugal!

That engine sounds like a 4AGE. Every 350Z that I have heard doesn't sound like that.

that z is the Nissan Flag ship 350 z its the one the engineers play with all the time. I dont think any of its engine components are stock its all probably suped up for track performance.

Oh and as far as outrunning the cops. Its not possible. They have your tags they run em and they show up at your house when your done running and come home youll find the cops there waiting for you with a doughnut and a cup of coffee.

How can a 15 year old be so skilled in piloting a BMW at 125+? Looks like it's not the first time he's done something like this.

As a previous Z owner.. I would have the say the engine sound is close.. not the same, but still awsome.

So I actually met the owner of the broken tie-rod H2 at our Colorado Association of 4WD Clubs Toys for Tots event here in Denver last weekend.

Not the sharpest tack in the box.

Hummer really underengineered the steering on the H2. The diameter of the tierod is the same as the Xterra, but it's 3 times longer, and pushing around almost 35" tires. Poor design.

Did Hummer even have anything to do with the H2? I thought because it is so much like the Suburban that Chevy did all of it. If they were involved, what a fricken miscue. If you count success as all of the fricken rappers driving them around with 22's on them, then I guess it was a success. I would be surprised to hear of an H1 owner purchasing an H2.

you can watch a clip of the run movie here... its awesome

How on earth did that kid manage to pull that off in a BMW M3? That was an early E30 M3, they're not all that quick... for that matter, none of the M3's are all that quick, the LT-1 Camaro should have had no problem running him down. I like the announcer guy stating that the kid was going to ram the cop... what was the cop going to do to the kid? Standard move? Drop back, tip the kid in the rear and spin him? Not that I'm saying the kid was in the right, but it sounds bad when the announcer acts like the kid
is some sort of homicidle maniac for thinking of trying the same thing the cop was going to try...

They said the car was stolen... make it kinda hard to track him down...

Hey, I ripped that! lol Its all over the net now.

look at the file info...cosmicdynamo = cosmicx

Yep e30 m3's arent supercar fast...but they are in their sweet spot between 80-140mph.

Ruger1022,
Doing the P.I.T. at speeds above 45 mph is considered deadly force which was not justifiable. In that case, no, he was not going to try it but, the kid is a homicidal maniac for trying some crazy crap like that.

Maybe the kid was just a talented driver ?
My sister was a cop for 8 years, and even after advanced driving classes she couldnt drive for shit.

That bozo on 'America's Best Video Chases' always bugs me by saying the perp is doing dangerous stuff when there are 10 cop cars behind them doing the same shit.
