Talking F15 50i xDrive test drive at the beach video!

So, I went to the beach for the weekend and I decided to set my GoPro and record how it drives on sand. It's not the best since it's my very first video, but loved how it drove on sand! The best shot is after minute two, but I love watching the entire video.

You can see only one side, hope you all enjoy it!

Did you have the deflate the tires any for traction? Also I would suggest recording in landscape mode instead of portrait mode in the future.

LoL, no, just as it was, the recording was towards the end, if I recorded landscape only part of the tire would come out. I was going through the sand like nothing, I pulled an Dodge Ram pick up since it got stuck... What a feeling lol

Well, I have the 50i so I didn't have any problems, getting the Dodge Ram out wasn't a problem either, next time I will find a big truck that gets stuck I will record it.. Haha I see lots of them every time I hit the beach. I had good traction and even at a full stop, and then taking off felt just as smooth.

I actually did it once in the desert. Not on the sand dunes ofcourse, but I went a decent distance and I was surprised with how smooth the car was. That V8 ..
