BMW Takes on Concrete Walls

A video uploaded by BMW Canada which features a driver racing a Series M Coupe through what we’re told are cement walls that are cut to fit the shape of the vehicle as it slides through has generated much commentary. Debate centers around whether the walls are real or whether they were digitally added in after the fact. Or if they are just Styrofoam made to look like concrete. No word from BMW Canada but the stunt is impressive.

Of course all it proves is that there are great drivers out there, not that the vehicle, itself, is the only vehicle that can do such a stunt. After all, a well trained stunt car or race car driver could do the same thing with a 1970’s era Lincoln Continental Mark VII or whatever that boat of a vehicle was called.
