Don't know if any of you have seen this site. There's a few BMW videos here, including the M5 test from the 5th Gear program on Speed Channel http://media.putfile.com/bmw_m5. The crash videos are not for the faint-hearted http://www.putfile.com/cat.php?cat=18 |  |  | | 12-04-2005, 06:08 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Delafield, WI Posts: 471 |
Use The widescreen mode for the M5 video or the car looks scrunched. I liked this video, the music really fits. Does anyone know who did this song? http://media.putfile.com/MadU-igothigh edit: The artist is Afroman, if anybody cares. | | | | | 12-04-2005, 04:29 PM | #3 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |

powerslide rocks...powerslide is a move on a skateboard (which i happen to skateboard a bunch)....when you get speed and turn sharp and slide sideways! its so much fun! especially on ice or snow and you can slide sideways for ever....until you lose your skateboard and slip and die! __________________ 1995 318ti Active

the high video was funny, though i know i have experienced similar crashes on skateboards not having anything to do with highness... just because balancing around on a plank of wood with wheels is kinda tough on a 2 inch diamater round rail going down multiple stairs....but funny nontheless! __________________ 1995 318ti Active

Rob; try vampire grinds. I could never do a 50/50, but when you twist the board, and lock the rail in on the trucks, it's easier to ride out.
I think Ed Templeton "invented" the trick. A search should bring up a picture. __________________

I like the term powerslide too, implying being able to break the tires loose at will through corners at high speeds. That M5 is iust incredible, it would be a dream to me to have a car like that. Imagine 200 mph in a 4000 lb 4 door sedan, being able to blow off just about anything in a straight line at any speed. With a good driver it would hang with a C5 Vette. Not a bad price really, $85K. Maybe when I retire in 6 more years I could pick one up for 50K or less. The only car I have seen that did a powerslide as well as this M5 is the '87 RUF Yellowbird, based on a 911 turbo. I have a video from a Porsche documentary I got off Speed Channel showing this car smoke the tires through a long sweeper at speeds over 100mph, on a public highway no less. The RUF Yellowbird did 0-60 in 4 and top speed of 211 mph. RUF used a normal 911 body instead of the turbo body with wide flares for aerodynamics to hit that 211 mph. All that power in the new M5 has to be addictive. What a great car to go cross-country in. | | | | | 12-06-2005, 03:49 AM | #13 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |
