Really cool video. I’m sure everyday at work isn’t this awesome for the guys and gals at M, but I think its safe to say they get much more joy from their job than I do basking under fluorescent tube lighting in an office all day.
Just release the focking F95 allocations already!!! |

Seriously.. I want to go punch my high school counselor in the face.
This is the kind of job I would have worked my ass off for.. go find out EXACTLY what they want in a candidate in 4 years.. classes, college, driving schools and pop out the other end to work in the ///M division. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGG G!!!

Where's the part where they slap M badges on models they didn't engineer? Based on some recent threads I've determined a lot of this forum would love to see that.

I don't get it. What's so exciting about this video? It's a 10 minute commercial.
Did anyone actually "Gain exclusive insights into the driving dynamics development of the M2 CS and X5 M prototypes" out of this? |

The bald guy in the m2 cs said one of their main goal is to make it easier to drive.
That was 1000% one of my first impressions driving an n54 135i after driving my m2c. |

Just got back from the ice driving experience up there...well half of it until I crashed a snowmobile and spent a week in a Swedish hospital...anyway, it was a blast while I was there! Can't wait to go back and finish the whole course!

I do, I am sure glad that they do. I drive my M4cs year round and it is actually tons of fun to drive in slippery winter conditions .

Interesting video but it's nothing that most us wasn't already aware of, from all the leaked photos of camouflaged mules; they field test the prototypes, in winter and summer weather, prior to it being approved for final development.
It would great if they WoWed us with some intel that no one else is privy to, like what kind of drugs were they on, when they greenlit that beaver-face front end, for the next M4.. |
