The BMW F87 M2 presentation at Laguna Seca on Oct 13, 2015 was streamed live on Periscope ...blurry, static, bad audio - underwhelming. That broadcast didn't do the car justice.

You're bringing back memories.

It was underwhelming and I remember you could change your perspective with the 3D view, but the camera placement sucked so you couldn't see much.

My mistake.I thought it was at the performance center.I remember people complaining about it but it was better than nothing.

T_U_D · 10-03-2022, 12:15 PM

Allegedly it may be shown behind closed doors to “eyes only” prior to the worldwide reveal.

I have seen the Periscope video too back then. As someone coined it: "epic failure". What were they thinking ?

See from comment #129 onwards to get an idea...

Live presentations are a risk. Back in 2015 the BMW CEO collapsed during his maiden speech at the Frankfurt Motor Show in front of 300 journalists. Later he explained that a very busy schedule of intercontinental flights took its toll.

ParadeinBerlin · 10-11-2022, 04:33 PM

M2 Event going live at 6 PM EST

If that happened today it wouldn't be due to exhaustion. It would be due seeing the new design language.
