Exclamation Drifting ontop of a building!

I guess this is a BMW M1 drifting on top of the U.S. Bank Tower in Los Angeles LA.

You guys think its real or fake?

Fake. No way they would get any authorization/permit to airlift and then recklessly drive a bmw on a helipad on the roof of a huge building in a heavily populated area. Pretty cool video though.

Fake my dad was one of automotive crew when they shot that commercial. He sent me a cellphone vid of the same car doing the drift on the ground. He never mentioned it being anywhere near a building and the shoot only lasted a day.

I'm sending them to my photobucket right now so i can post up.

You can see the cherry picker crane they used to film the aerial footage in the background.





Mini helicopter they used in the shoot.



Looks like i lost the vid of it doing the burnout, but i deff. seen it doing the burnout in the same lot as the mini-copter vid.

I'm sure your dad would appreciate posting stuff that disproves the company that's paying his team / production

Just meant for buzz, but the buzz usually ends when the truth comes up
