Very true Jason, the BMW salesman (Mike may he RIP) that sold me my first Z4 in 2010 lost his life on a wet 2 lane wet road overtaking another car. According to eye witnesses his rear end of the car gave away and he slammed into a tree. He passed on a few days later due to severre inures. Mike was a very experianced track driver and particioated on many events in his M3.
He just had bad luck, who knows what caused him to loose control. It happened in the fall of 2010 he should have had his snow tires mounted.
Anyway, we all need to be very careful out there our cars are indeed very [powerful.
Hope the occupants of the M5 in the original post get well soon. I know having lived in Germany up to age 19 and visiting often, accidents on the Autobahn often end in tragedy so one needs to be very alert all the time.
Be safe everyone.
