The vehicle left the road in Bradford in the early hours of yesterday morning when it was being pursued by an unmarked police car.
Three victims were named locally as Murthza Chaudhry, 22, Zeeshan 'Ziggy' Khalid, 20, and Arbaz Hussain, 21. The fourth was identified only as a man called Tayyub.
Neighbours reported hearing a huge bang and the video footage, posted on social media, showed the front of the grey BMW obliterated by the impact.
Officers attempted to resuscitate two of the men at the scene in Bradford and a third was cut free by firefighters.
The BMW was being pursued by an unmarked vehicle shortly after 5am when the driver is believed to have lost control.
At the family home in Bradford last night, Mr Chaudhry's heartbroken father Istfar Iqbal, 40, confirmed that his 'polite and quiet' son was among the dead.
Mr Iqbal, who raised his son alone from the age of 11, said: 'I woke up about eight o'clock.
'I came downstairs and my mum was crying. She said, "Your son is dead". I said, "What are you talking about?" I don't know how it happened. I don't know what he was doing with friends at that time in the morning.
'Normally he would be home before midnight. I would always keep an eye on him. I can't believe what has happened.'
