Its seriously just an awesome machine all around. the noises it makes are all good. only the mezger has anything on it in the sound department.
my take away from this is the standard brakes are good enough to keep it on the aircraft carrier. and hoonage spec is mt4life. i can't wait to throw old set of winter tires on it and have rain day. just drift all day and night in this car.

* Footage of a real M4 (in some cases; other times even the car is CGI) * Footage of a real aircraft carrier * 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). Quote:
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).

0-60 times are good but if you have a catapult why not utilize it to make it even better?

Are they using Active Sound Design for this too? If so, I think there may have been an issue. Scratch on the CD, maybe? It sounds like it's sitting at redline the whole time....

They're trying to get rid of the Stig again. Unfortunately, wrong car.
Cheers.

* I can hear some reverb with tight delay and rapid decay. * It sounds like they've pumped some of the lower frequencies (<50Hz). * There's an augmentation track with some high-pitched whine (resembles a turbo whine) None of these are egregious (IMO) however, as exhaust sounds are notoriously difficult to reproduce through speakers and headphones. You "feel" exhaust as much as you hear it. If they got the character right, that's exactly what you need to "experience" the exhaust through a video. So far, we have one person supporting the viewpoint that the audio sounds like the car, and one that disagrees. I've not heard the S55 in person, but the M235i (N55) I test drove sounded pretty damn good. I'd be amazed if the S55 sounded worse.
