BMW's Driftmob: Time For Tea?

You've read the story, now see BMW's M235i sideways spectacular on video

BMW's Cape Town shoot for the M235i Driftmob sounds like a fairly fraught affair. Two days, backstreet garages welding diffs, no spare cars... And yet as always seems the way, the finished production is a slick and, dare we say it, very enjoyable video.

'Please note that all these driving scenes are real' it says in the description. We don't doubt that having seen the film being made and yet there are sections of the vid that look sped up and a bit artificial. See if you can spot some for yourself. Strange.

But that shouldn't detract from some unbelievable displays of oversteer, particularly notable given the proximity of other cars. They've even managed to squeeze in a love interest in 90 seconds with a very glamorous police officer. But we're only interested in the driving, obviously.

For additional insight on the kind of skill required to be a member of the BMW Driftmob, see the Rhys Millen M235i video. Long live the manual handbrake!

See the finished video here.

And Rhys Millen make it all look stupendously easy here.

Great video - M235 version of the REd Arrows !

Cars look very nice, especially on proper sized alloys.

Awesome car - drove a few laps at Le Mans in one & they inspire a lot of confidence: on first fast lap braked at the 200m board for the 1st Mulsanne chicane at an indicated 160mph !

More synchronized ballet dancing in cars.

PH is going the way of Max-Evo with this mince.

It's crap having to play to the masses frown
