Lol. Thought I was the only one. I also have the urge to go out for a drive now too.

There's going to be another replay at 12ET and then again on Sunday!

But it would be nice to have a download for archival purposes.

Pretty well done, makes me appreciate my car even more

The Rolls Royce part was neat.

They should paint the pedals 3 times, fire the clowns designing the chime sounds and use the money they save to hire an engineer that can come up with a car that is capable of going over a pot hole without feeling like it is going to break in half.

Just finished watching it on cnbc and thought it was awesome. Just thought it was funny how everyone at BMW was obsessed at what they do. Kinda reminded of me and how I'm obsessed with their cars. Definitely the Ultimate Driving Machine.

jr155 · 07-13-2011, 11:14 PM

I completely forgot to DVR it

Any torrents/online ways to watch it?

Did u see how they put the rolls on that bumpy road simulation machine? To check for rattles...was the guy doing this for bimmers deaf? Or sleeping in the car??

Also they chime guy wtf. That gong is annoying as hell. Spend more money resolving the rattles man come on! What waste of a salary

PKumarM3 · 07-13-2011, 11:23 PM

i cant wait for my euro delivery next summer.

ennis · 07-13-2011, 11:29 PM

I loved the opening scene with the guy driving down the autobahn talking about how there is no margin for error at such high speeds, without wearing his seatbelt.

The rest of it was pretty interesting as well.

The show was good. Agree with the comments above with no seatbelt and about the rattles along with the pothole discussion.

Would like the hd version to view as well

spellbmw · 07-14-2011, 12:15 AM

Do European Delivery again in 2014 or 2015. Hmmmm...perhaps the M2? A good presentation on BMW!

taibanl · 07-14-2011, 12:22 AM

I saw lots of vermillion red ;-)

spellbmw · 07-14-2011, 12:24 AM

They talked about Mini and Rolls Royce early on but not in depth.
