ridiculous

[straight6pwr]

so much fail

if you're going to pop balloons with a car that goes 175mph, i assume you can pop like 5,000+ balloons in a straight line, right? OMG 79! NEW RECORD!

good aim, "Professional driver" with a "car modified for stunt driving":

Who in the absolute fuck is the target for that ad? Retired clowns?

Am I missing something?  What'd popping the balloons?  Is that lazer activating something?

The ego of the driver is what pops the balloons.

or the heat of the laser.

pick one.

I love HATE marketing people. I feel like I just lost some brain cells. So do you guys think they missed one balloon, or were they aiming for the well rounded amount of 79? LOLOL

But can it eat hot dogs? Makes about as much sense as the balloon test.

I'm sure the turbo could shred a few dawgs!!  Who has one, let's try it!

So I looked into this and the laser is what's doing the popping.  I guess this was previously set by a human who popped all of these balloons in a straight line with a laser.  BMW wanted to prove the cars agility by popping balloons in the shape of an M... because there isn't a better way to show this by doing things like winning races, setting lap times, etc.  I suppose that wouldn't garner as much attention as balloons and lasers.

I do appreciate that they tried their hardest to cover up the engine noises so as to not subject us to that atrocity.
