Elias Hountondji from the Red Bull Driftbrothers manoeuvres his brand-new competition vehicle, the "BMW M2 Drift Competition" with over 1,100 hp, through the heart of the BMW plant in Munich. An environment that is actually the complete opposite of a race track: instead of well-trodden kerbs and gravel beds, the track is surrounded by precisely calibrated robots and state-of-the-art equipment. For Elias, this means no run-off area, zero tolerance for errors.

Check out the exhaust, coming out of the rear windows lol

Matt@Evolve · 10-22-2025, 10:04 AM

Such a great video, and some excellent car control!

We actually got to meet and interview the Drift Brothers a few years ago with their G82 M4 drift cars and they could not have been more down to earth, proper enthusiasts.

Nice to see the F8x 763M making an appearance, a rising #ModernClassic

JMD · 10-23-2025, 11:34 AM

Whew! That was very CLOSE at time stamp 1:18!

Edit: Red Bull certainly got the results they wanted out this vid! Excellent capture and editing,...not to mention the excellent driving skills!!

Fugly M3 · 10-23-2025, 11:35 AM

Would be cooler to see it assembled in the Munich plant.

_mikenco · 10-23-2025, 11:44 AM

Amazing 🔥

MackSea70 · 10-23-2025, 12:17 PM

Yup, like the redbull M4 drift car.

Blue Angel · 10-23-2025, 01:09 PM

I like how the hood and facias were off for the practice runs, and he stuffs the rear facia at the end! Such is life with drifting.

Cool video! Looks like slow motion on that slippery concrete!

Anyone know who makes this gurney flap?

Vegas6734 · 10-23-2025, 03:10 PM

maybe it's the kid in me, but I kind of dig the underglow lol

G30M · 10-23-2025, 09:14 PM

no BMWs were harmed in the making of this video ... right?

DarkNight707 · 10-24-2025, 12:29 AM

Man, I wish I was brave enough to get that underglow for my daily… 😍

The G87 is such a great looking car, best looking in the G series line. Definitely the only future classic from this era.

torentmonkey · 10-24-2025, 06:47 AM

Damn, I went in June to the welt and no I need to go again.

BRAKE! · 10-24-2025, 06:23 PM

What car control skills... imagine how many sets of tires were burned through earning that knowledge. I'm sure the plant operations and risk management departments were shitting themselves when they were pitched with this idea

It's not that bad :-) the video was shot in August during the factory holidays.

Not SUV, that is G21, 3 series touring

And yes, BMW is producing SUVs in Germany. BMW X2 is for sure made in Regensburg plant in Germany. I am not sure for X1?
X3,X4,X5,X7 and XM are made in Greer (Spartanburg plant) SC, US.
2 series coupe (G42) and M2 (G87) are made in SLP plant in Mexico.
I worked in these plants
