Harry P. Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Fake! Think of the logistics (and costs) involved in building all those walls in reality... and the almost zero percent chance that the car would go through every one perfectly.
george 53 Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Harry, we take what we see as reality,but we can be fooled. Heck you do it to us every other week!!! . Those walls could have been made of foam, an it could have taken 1,000 shoots to film then spliced together to see what we see. Not that it is real, I too doubt ANYONE could pull off a stunt like that,but it does look cool as heck! Wonder how many goofs will try to see if THEY can drive like that! :lol:

Draggon Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 I betcha Tanner Foust could do it. Or maybe the Stig..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHtwUr-IkHM&feature=player_detailpage
Harry P. Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 From carscoop.blogspot.com: BMW of Canada has published a new and rather entertaining promotional film on the firm’s new limited production 1-Series M Coupe. The video shows the Bavarian automaker’s sports car pushing its 335-horsepower twin-turbocharged inline-six to the limit and burning plenty of rubber in doing so while passing sideways through set of imaginary walls on the road. Truth to be said though, BMW’s advertising agency could have skimped on the somewhat farcical CGI (computer-generated images) cement walls and still have an engaging commercial in its hands.
Draggon Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Actually I WAS thinking of Ken Block, and particualary of that video, but it came out as Tanner Foust. Yikes, Im getting old.......
ra7c7er Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Tanner Foust is a.............................. well it would just be edited out he doesn't impress me and never has and he's got the personality of a dead fish Actually I WAS thinking of Ken Block, and particualary of that video, but it came out as Tanner Foust. Yikes, Im getting old....... Ken Block has the personality of a dead fish to. He is so wrapped up in thinking he is gods gift to cars that he forgets what he is doing when he has more to do than just do doughnuts around barricades.
Lownslow Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 i say it's real, although the walls may not really be concrete Obama can't Gymkhana true obama cant gymkhana but block cant WRC
