Young guy unloading the car decides to go for a bit of a joyride en route to VPC. Captured it all on my iPhone. He was speeding, revving the engine, and mishandling the car in general.

I talked to the VPC Manager on duty. The guy was instantly terminated. And BMW had to build me a new car.
What the hell is wrong with people. I hope my car makes it okay. Wouldnt want some idiot to redline a cold engine.

I thought the transport mode makes sure they cant go past a certain RPM, like 5,000 maybe?
