by Impressive Drift Show at the BMW Plant
Professional drifter Elias Huntondji demonstrated incredible skills, driving a powerful BMW M2 with an 1100 horsepower engine right on the production floors of the BMW plant in Munich. This event was a response to a similar show organized by Volkswagen for the Polo model.
Key Moments of the Performance
Features of the Stunt Performance
Huntondji, who is part of the “Driftbrothers” duo, has years of experience drifting modified BMWs. His technique combines precise throttle and steering control with boldness, allowing him to perform maneuvers at the limit of possibility. However, even for him, drifting inside the plant was a serious challenge, as any mistake could have led to a collision with expensive equipment.
The drifter performed maneuvers close to the assembly lines, leaving black tire marks on the factory floor.
Vehicle Technical Specifications
This BMW M2 is far from the production version. While the road-going M2 CS produces 523 horsepower, the drift car has more than double that power. Furthermore, it is equipped with rear-wheel drive and a modified S58 engine with larger turbos and an improved cooling system. The exhaust system exits through the rear window, making the car even more unique.
Preparation for Competitions
The “Driftbrothers” continue to refine this M2 for participation in the European Drift Masters Championship, which will take place next year. This demonstrates how seriously the team takes the preparation of their cars.
Although the video focuses heavily on the musical accompaniment rather than the engine sound, which might disappoint car enthusiasts, the clip is still worth watching for its impressive footage and the pilot’s skill.
Such events highlight how car manufacturers use extreme performances to promote their brands. Drifting inside a plant is not just a spectacle but also a demonstration of trust in their own products and the capabilities of the pilots. This approach could become a trend among automotive giants trying to impress audiences with unconventional events.
