Ok, now that's what I wish the carrier would be next time I step foot on it.

But alas, no

Would have been cooler if they did it on the Helicarrier instead.

15-20 seconds in it sounded to me like it was going to transform into an Autobot/Decepticon

It's very cool indeed, but I have to say this is the best one.

Yeah in my opinion, that is one of the greatest ads ever made. It get's its point across without saying a single word.

Ads today, especially car ads, have WAY to much narration. IMO, if you have to explain the ad, it's not good to begin with.

Plus this is exactly how an M5 feels like (at least the F10 one). Nuclear from the start and engaging a 2nd engine at 5000 RPM. Feels like you're driving a rocket because it's so big and heavy yet so violent.

After watching the embedded video and before I clicked on the Youtube icon in the lower right, I thought to myself that "this is probably from Canada" AND I WAS RIGHT!!! The Canadians are crazy! I know I've seen others from BMW Canada.

* CGI layering of the racetrack and sometimes the car

How do I know? Cost of production, and historical precedent.

Cost of production: This production would have cost more than most blockbuster films if they had actually obtained (rented or otherwise) an aircraft carrier and constructed an actual track on top, then filmed this at sea.

Historical precedent: BMW is known to use CGI in their advertisements in the past (as is every manufacturer).



The choice of transmission was clearly made for dramatic purposes. Watching someone slam through gears is a lot more exciting than watching them slap paddles.

There's no maneuver conducted here that couldn't be done with the DCT transmission. The opposite really; DCT makes it easier to do a lot of this stuff because you can downshift mid-turn without lifting.

I had an at-length discussion with one of the BMW Performance Center drivers about this exact topic (he used to drift professionally). He said that the only option taken off the table with the DCT is a clutch-kick drift initiation, which he said wasn't a huge loss because of the flexibility of the S65. He was just as likely to use the handbrake or just flick it in hard and left-foot brake if he needed more rotation.

For anyone who hasn't been there, when you do Performance Center Delivery, there's an opportunity to ride along on a "hot lap" in an E90 M3 (at least that's what they used to use). It's more like a drift lap though. The drivers are definitely driving for fun, not for speed. All the cars are DCT optioned, because they burn through clutches too fast in the 6MT (according to the Q&A session we had).
Good explanation...ppl are going crazy thinking it as a real video.
However, Ken Block can do it in real !!!

M4 engine sounds are real

What you are hearing is the real thing. We recorded the audio of the very same car you are watching here.

Wait...do they really use the urine from a unicorn in their paint?!?!
