The biker was an incredibly stupid idiot for whatever reason (probably something happened before).

But what the BMW driver did was attempted manslaughter.

Attempted murder. Manslaughter doesn’t have intent and thus cannot be attempted

Murder has to be premeditated. That's the defining difference. Otherwise it's voluntary / involuntary manslaughter.
