This e30 M3 did not break down, the driver was caught later at his home. Viewers were forced to believe the lie. Proof.
If you don't believe the picture in the link, then just open the video twice. Stop the first video at 2:10 and stop the second video at 3:39. The second video supposedly shows the car breaking down, when the road sign and objects on the left side of the scene are identical.

This is the first time I've seen these videos, and I'm pissed they would pull this stupid propaganda stunt.

When this vid first appeared on the net and before it was figured out to be BS I knew it was cause I did exactly that... The only reason it was put together like that is because the show wanted to air a sweet ass chase but the cops didnt want the public to know they can be beaten even in the best car the cops have:)!!!
Isn't it possible the car DID break down but they didn't have any good video of that so they spliced in the earlier footage?
How do we know he was caught later at his home?

My friend always had this conspiracy theory that they never show "wildest chases" where the bad guy actually gets away because they don't want people to think they can out drive the police. Apparently he's right.

what is the big deal about car chases we have so many in los aneles, that it seems news channels stop showing it as news as everyone are used to them

yeah but all the ones we get to see are the ones that get caught...
True, but if the perp gets away it's kind of hard to film it!

LOL, an M3 built to run 150+ on the autobahn breaks down...

The driver was pretty good with the car... doubt it was a "kid" either. Most likely shades of "Getaway in Stockholm".

Did you read the thread? All evidence shows the M3 did not break down. I doubt it's a 15 y/o too.
