Kids can crash in any car. A BMW would hopefully have more safety features.
It was a BMW that destroyed the family at Pyle a few years ago.
Parents giving high performance vehicles to inexperienced teenagers are profoundly reckless and I hope every single one of them are sued into oblivion for those accidents.
I absolutely agree if the parents were negligent they should be sued but it makes no sense to blame it on “a bmw.” Kids drive way too fast and kill themselves and others in all types of cars. (-a mom who drives an old Camry)
Have you really not noticed that 95% of these accidents involve a BMW?
Perhaps BMWs don't fare well in crashes.
The problem is that BMWs drive too fast too easily and drivers do not realize that they are out of control.
Are these self-driving cars?
Because otherwise, they are driven too fast by a driver. In this case a teen driver, in a car they had no business being in.
Stop being intentionally obtuse. You know damn well what kinds of kids drive BMWs. Not kids that take safety and rules seriously.

Yes, a BMW might have more safety features - it should - since it’s 3x faster than the typical car a kid might learn to drive on.
You don’t think it’s a problem to have a teenager driving a car that might have 350-500 horsepower? You don’t see a potential problem with that?

HS students die in car crashes during this time of the year.
In summer - kids drown in pools and infants and dogs roast in closed cars.
Why are we letting this happen?
Why would you be so cruel to post this? We aren't letting it happen. Accidents happen. Your comparisons are non-sense. This is horrible and tragic.
Except it’s not really completely an accident. It’s also partly negligence. Because giving teens access to a high performance car like a BMW is essentially equipping them to create a situation just like this. That’s negligent behavior on the part of the parents.

Get off your high horse. They crashed into some innocent percent minding their own business while screwing around and speeding. The speed limit there is 45 mph. Does that look like a 45 mph crash to you? No. Because it wasn’t. Kids don’t need a sports sedan because this is the inevitable result when they are given one.

This is a parent site and this is a story about local high school teens. It's not tragedy porn.

Alcohol involved?
In the parking lot?
On 395? Going to fast or too much merging and stuff to pay attention to.
On the Gaw parkway?
What? Where? How? Surely some witness said something. Or was it at 2am?
It was on SB 110 at Washington Blvd, 11:30 Saturday night. High speed.
Well then. Guess they didn’t have any May AP tests to study for.

You’re an even nastier POS, for attacking her.
The make of car they were driving is relevant. Why do parents allow their teens to have access to high performance cars? It’s exactly the same thing as giving them an AR15 and some bullets and then being shocked when they shoot someone.
A 16,17 or even 18 year old has absolutely no business driving a high performance car like that. Parents who give their children cars like that or allow them to drive theirs are complicit in these crashes.
Not the same. A car’s purpose is for transportation. A gun’s purpose is to hurt or kill.
Be that as it may, there’s absolutely no functional difference in the outcome when both items are given to immature people.

Driving an old Camry isn't great either as it doesn't have all the safety features. You can easily make a wrong move and kill someone.
Which is my point-the driving is the lion’s share of the problem, not the type of car. Huge suv far bigger contributor to fatality than marginally faster sedan.
Danger to pedestrians and drivers in smaller cars. Otherwise, the huge SUV protects the occupants better.
