[Video] BMW M2 Comp Driver Enters into Wrong Gear, Breaks Engine

Many of us are curious as to how to recognize an engine failure and how it might sound. This video of one BMW M2 Competition driver is a great example to show you. Instead of putting his BMW M2 Competition into fifth gear, he accidentally engaged the third. As a consequence, the valves attached and the flange broke loose. He had to install an S55 exchange engine plus a central screw lock after this incident. Drive safe everyone!
