Watch A BMW M4 CS Receive A Good Spanking In The Name Of Advertising
By and large, adverts are rubbish, aren’t they? They’re usually either cringeworthy or downright dull, but thankfully, there are exceptions, and this is definitely one of them.
It’s another one of those Pennzoil films, which usually involve a handy driver thrashing the living daylights out of a nice car in an interesting location. The last one we looked at involved a Dodge Challenger Demon drifting in Cape Town, and this time around, it’s rallycross driver Rhys Millen in a BMW M4 CS, shredding some serious rubber on and around the Nurburgring.
With drifting, straight-six noise and even a cheeky jump, it’s quite a video. It’s almost perfect, the only fly in the ointment being that the film is embellished with some Fast and Furious-style shots of the automatic gear selector’s manual mode being aggressively shifted, as though it’s a proper manual…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

It shows the true potential these cars have and the need is strong, when can we have one?
Um, about that last paragraph Matt, the M4’s gear lever seems to have a manual gear shifting mode. Notice the + and - symbols.
This is of course ONLY possible if you’re using Pennzoil oil, it won’t work with anything else! - Yeah, advertisment logic. But hey, at least we got some spectacular footage.
Why does he keep hitting the shifter tho
This commericial beats volkswagen’s new commericial
Man, I really hate that yellow! They should’ve used something more toned down like a more satin version of the Austin Yellow used on the normal M4.
When mandem late for work….
I like how a whole movie is being made by promos. I love pennzoil.

The automatic shifter slaps are hilarious. Lmao to look so dramatic he slaps with so much effort. So funny.
