Watch A BMW M4 CS Receive A Good Spanking In The Name Of Advertising

There's a new Pennzoil film, and it's all about an M4 CS being thrashed on and around the Nurburgring

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.

Trying to work but this kept running on TV

Love that 928 camera car.

This is EVERYTHING Fast and Furious should currently be.

This series of ads is better than most movies coming out. I think I’d rather watch all of these ads in order in the theater than 99% of the movies made in the last 5 years
