Upon Sainted's request I re-analyzed BMW's contribution to the incident.
Point by point:
- BMW had a fault for failing to see your maneuver out wide, but you must know the track by muscular memory in order to spare the time to check your wide-side mirror at the last second for such an ambitious move. As a result, no punishment for this.
- BMW maintained his line, at this point the brain would suggest you would slide right out of his path until the car is actually colliding with yours is where human error proved true. In this amount of time, I would not expect anyone to slam their brakes to avoid a crash - there's a reason they call it two "two second rule" when driving as that is the maximum acceptable time in dry conditions for the brain to process and then make an action. In this incident he had roughly half a second from where he realized you were going to crash to where he actually reduced his throttle to 0 and you were out of the way.
Put it down to common race accident, I certainly wouldn't ban for this but instead apologize and move on.
