BMW's new series of MPowered Performance videos have been a real hit so far. Part 1 saw the BMW 1M drifting precisely through concrete walls cut to the shape of the 1M. And now the theme of precision handling continues in Part 2, which is based atop the world's highest helicopter landing pad. Thats enough said, watch the video below!

For reference sake, this was Part 1: Walls.

surreal

Dackelone · 06-28-2011, 12:08 PM

Very cool. Scarry. But it can't be real.

I can't wait for Myth-Buster's to put this one to the test. Like they did when they busted BMW's motorcycle vs Table cloth ad.

positiveions · 06-28-2011, 12:24 PM

and I wasn't called for this event.

Cool

Evice · 06-28-2011, 12:30 PM

It excited me but 0:40 second gives it away quite clearly.

Artemis · 06-28-2011, 12:37 PM

C'mon, it's just a teaser for the future "Transformers 4" movie: a few seconds later the 1M transforms into an M3 and flies away from the helipad.

Rx:BMW · 06-28-2011, 01:25 PM

holy shit... doesnt matter if its fake, thats pretty sweet!!

antzcrashing · 06-28-2011, 01:30 PM

I honestly don't think it is fake. Call me crazy or prove me wrong. It would be quite poser if this and the concrete walls were sham. Plus there are enough dare devils out there

mPlasticDesign · 06-28-2011, 01:35 PM

Why are people obsessing about it being fake? Of course it is CGI. Can't you just suspend reality and enjoy it? It's a good commercial. reminds me of another 'fake' commercial that kicks ass!

Link because it won't let me embed it:

omg this guy is sick!!!

SCOTT26 · 06-28-2011, 02:19 PM

Some of it is real. Then again some of it is composited by building a similar helipad and using Blue screen to composite a real background shot from the exact angle from a helicopter mounted with a gyro-cam.

You are actually not allowed to do driving that on top of a building, especially in LA. On a sound stage is fine and safer. The authorities are not in favour of having a performance car fall on to the streets and unfortunate people wishing they were in a 1M ,when going about their business?

It was the same with the Walls - The car was real but the "walls" were digitally created to give you that illusion.

Do you remember that bike mounted camera?
