The HUNT for the Stock BMW That Started a Manhunt

August 26, 2013. 2 a.m. A stock BMW Z4 rips around all 26 miles of Manhattan in 24 minutes flat. How one YouTube upload turned a $20K BMW into America's most embarrassing fugitive case. 2013 East Harlem. A 255 horsepower convertible. 26 miles of FDR, tunnel, and bridge. Six red lights. 24 minutes, 7 seconds. Then a YouTube upload that hundreds of thousands of people watched in 48 hours. That upload reached the wrong dinner party. The NYPD commissioner saw it, called it a personal insult, and put a citywide manhunt on one Canadian guy in shorts and sandals. Verizon engineers testified. Google and Facebook flew in. Ten days of trial for a misdemeanor. He was convicted. He got the maximum sentence. He's never served a day. He drove home in the car they tried to seize, and the McLaren that broke his record seven years later studied every single move he made. 🔔 Hit subscribe.
