DUNE TAXI

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

This was definitely entertaining. Full Electric Prototype XM Stadium Truck, Sand Racer. Cameos by the RedBull Drift brothers, drifting X6Ms in the sand. It's very well done, in sort of a Ken Block theme.

Liwa, Abu Dhabi. It's where the empty quarter starts, and is home to the Tal Moreeb, a stellar dune that feels more like a wall of sand when you're standing at the base. Funny how perceptions change when you look at things differently.

Join us on this epic ride where xDrive meets BMW M, from sand to tarmac and back, filled with drifts, two-wheeled goodness, and one massive electrified dune climb, starring Abdo Feghali, Madelyn Cline, and the Red Bull Driftbrothers.

BMW marketing keeps winning. Now if only their design department could do the same.

What a fun watch!

Haha, pushing electric in an oil rich country that could care less about burning fossil fuels. What a waste of money, BMW. Figure out how to get the range close to 500 miles and maybe the people living in that country would consider it. And guess what, I wont consider it in this country either until 600 miles can be squeezed out of battery. Acceleration cannot be the only positive. These promo videos were cool at one time, but times are changing. Deliver the goods BMW!! Oh, and another thing, who cares about the drivers, my grandma does this kind of stuff on Sundays in her sedan.

I agree they could care less about fossil fuels, but one thing is for sure, they spend stupid money on anything that's fast. Show them something idiotic, and they will buy it. This is idiotic, and they would buy it.

Screw the electric.
X6 M for me please!

cncmastr · 11-10-2022, 06:45 PM

omasou · 11-10-2022, 10:28 PM

That goes to show you how well the search function works. I searched like 6 different keywords and came up with nothing. Wonder if it was posted in the wrong section? Well, I'm glad people are seeing it, anyway. It's good.

Even if we could get an allocation, it would either pile up at the port, have a RAM stop sale, or the dealer would leave in the shipping blocks installed.

Isn‘t that simply an Extreme-E race car with a BMW front?
