Check Out These Videos.

I can't tell if some BMW engineers snuck the car out and made some cell phone videos that they're leaking onto the web, or if perhaps (per Brookside's theory) BMW is being tricky with some guerrilla marketing.

Most of the ones I've seen on YouTube are slice-n-dice's of the official promo footage that BMW released. This is the first I've found that is "non-official" footage of the car.

LOL. My guess is a 20 something Deutsches BMW Fabrikarbeiter that was told to take the car for testing, but instead picked up his buddy and did a few cellphone burnouts.

Awesome. No doubt BMWAG knows about this and who did it too.

Did you notice the single stripe left in the burnout? That ties back to some of the discussions regarding the effectiveness of the 'electronic LSD'.

I remember the clones of these videos when the e90 was being announced. There was a non-LSD equipped e90 330i doing 2 wheeled burnouts. Open diffs do that with DSC off and equal grip on the rears wheels.

I bet the one black stripe has more to do with sand on the farm road than anything else. It certainly does scoot right along though, and sound good doing it!

Ha, you could be onto it - the car got decently sideways in the process too.

Amen to that! All these videos now apparently require some awful music to overshadow the real reason why you want to watch the vid in the first place.

The exhaust tone sounds very nice! Maybe I won't need to get an aftermarket exhaust after all!

AMEN to that. Some people just can't contain the crap that overflows in their head from leaking out of their mouths. In other words, some things are better left unsaid; Something I was taught when I was like, 6? Some kids never grow up.
