BMW M5 Sets 2 Guinness World Records While Refueling Mid-Drift

BMW set out to reclaim the Guinness World Record™ for longest vehicle drift in 8 hours. Please join BMW in commending World Record Driver Johan Schwartz, Refuel Driver Matt Mullins, and Refueler Matt Butts, for a triumphant, Guinness World Record-breaking performance.

Matt Mullins helped the BMW M5 secure a second Guinness World Record for the longest twin vehicle drift (water assisted) on record. Johan and Matt achieved an impressive 79.26 km (49.25 mi) drift, surpassing the previous 2014 record of 28.52 km (17.72 miles), set in Dubai.

Before attempting the world record, our team knew we had to engineer a solution to refueling the BMW M5 while mid-drift. Watch this video to find out just how we did it.

BMW crushed the previous drifting world record of 89.55 miles with a record-breaking 232.5 mile drift.

Be loud, be proud, and shatter expectations when driving a BMW.

That innovation and desire to attempt something bold & exciting is what separates BMW from everyone else. Our luxury cars & luxury sedans are unstoppable, unequaled machines.

Not only did they break it, they made sure no one was going to beat it in a while.

[Ganesh_Wadhwa]

This is the most BMW thing I've ever seen lol

[shidbot]

Dude can probably drift while asleep after all this

[AustinMarrProductions]

Now imagine being the Guinness representative counting laps for 8 hours

[maxnovakovics]

"He needed 549 laps to beat the record.

He's at 2000 laps right now."

A few days after that on Ebay: "Selling almost brandnet BMW M5 with only 1200 Miles on it"

[azeezooo]

Next step: changing the engine oil while drifting lol.

[toto]

"for sale, bmw m5, never abused, heating time always respected, no low ball i know what i have"

[erenduman]

I would be more concerned for the tires honestly

[poqnsmknbuy]

Next step: drift so long that you replace tires while mid-drift

[rayedminhaz]

Arabs:Changing tires while driving on 2 wheels in a landcruiser.

[nftglobal]

I mean if they’re just drifting around a circle couldn’t they just have a central gas hub in the center connected to the vehicle that turns with the car and has enough slack that it wouldn’t be risky and just have the car go for like 7 days?

Next on BMW: Using a turn signal on an intersection

[freddyjimenez]

Bro they forgot to change their blinker fluid

[zhaa]
