The crash happened on the road between Dulmen and Coesfeld in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, at around 12:45 pm on Saturday, 2nd August, according to police in Coesfeld.
The young man, who was not named, had been test driving a BMW M3 Competition M xDrive, a 530-horsepower high-performance sedan that accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds.
