BMW 1M drifts on world's highest helipad[video]
 

why the helmet?

i can find cool fantasy videos with special effects too

Saw it on the news here a couple of days ago.

here's part 1

all I see is what looks like a drunk Indian driving on the highway, see it all the time here



even from the very begining - he parked like one too....

isn't it springtime in canada? you should go outside and smell some flowers. maybe a nice walk with your dog! :thumbsup

wow that is fucking crazy... however pretty fucking stupid :2 cents:

that one did not hit my *cool fantasy video with special effects* minimum requirements for cool, fantasy, special or effects.

I agree, it was part 1 of what you posted though.... just looked like a drunk Indian driving on the highway...

actually - good idea!

chow! :thumbsup

sleazy, did you get a chance to post in the *do you wipe your ass standing or sitting?* thread? i'd hate for you to miss that one as it seems more your style than this sort of thread. perhaps you'd be better suited hanging out in that one. :)

Um, does it come in black?

before I go, something more interesting

ok ok, it's an m3 not and m1.... but still.........

aweee, did I make you cry.....

I can FedEx you a tissue....

I'm pretty sure 1/2 of GFY could not only do that, but they could also fight off a pack of wild bears when finished.

so digital and the tire sound in the second video doesn't sound right. lame.

thats LA and not the highest helipad.


The world's highest helipad also exists here at Sonam, at a height of 21,000 feet.

There is just nothing dumber in the world than YouTube comments. Not even GFY comments.

yup, you definitely need that walk. you are taking the gfy far too seriously the day you think i get my panties in a knot re: something someone named sleazydream has to say about my posting a youtube video of a bmw television commercial. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Good point / as if that would make any difference

is dat real?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Not sure about that one,

it looks like if he would have fallen off the heli pad, he would have still landed just below that on the rooftop for a non-fatal drop :2 cents:

Fucking nuts either way.

Still like comparing apples to oranges. The M3 costs like $20k more, but I'm also guessing it handles a lot better.

Damn entertaining!

Great clips. I own a BMW 1 myself and I just love my car. Unfortunately it doesn't have the fairly important M behind the 1, but still an awesome car :thumbsup

that video just triggered all my height related anxieties...still shaking...

Looks like the concrete has been added after........

THat is sick as hell!

Hmmmm, an M version of the 1 series?????????????

:thumbsup

i thought it was pretty fucking cool too!

amazingly fake

Yes and no. Notice it's called the 1M and not the M1.

Ofcourse it's not real.. imagine the casualties on the street on failure.. and no insurance company would ever cover a commercial shot like that

The 1 series was originally introduced as BMW's entry level economy car. Seems strange they would create an M version of such a vehicle. Kinda like putting a turbo on a Honda Civic if you ask me.

The closeups are probably real, filmed on a replica... :thumbsup

But on the long shot at 0:38 you can clearly tell it's CGI, the way it stops as it finishes the slide looks very unnatural.

Just waiting for the day where you can synthesize an entire scene and make it look 100% realistic...

Ahhh, very good point.

OSHA and insurance companies

Cool video!

Our main office is on the top floor of that building :pimp

I like it!
