2012 DTM Champion Bruno Spengler takes on German Golf Pro (and BMW Brand Ambassador) Martin Kaymer in this BMW xDrive Moutain Challenge featuring driving, golfing, and sledding antics up in the Austrian mountain.

While this was just a lighthearted 'challenge' and it's clear that we're watching athletes and not actors, we get some looks at the BMW xDrive system in action on the 5 Series Touring M550d xDrive and 6 Series Coupe with xDrive.

WTF...!?

ynguldyn · 12-26-2012, 02:13 PM

Knock, knock. Grammar police here. It's "challenge", not "challange". Looks pretty bad on the front page.

Thank you.

many people don't realize how good xdrive really is. too bad jeremy clarkson and his garbage review of the x6 has made people think that BMW's have a horrible AWD system

Hahaha... I was touring around the city just for shits & giggles. xDrive really makes a difference - people staring all over - hilarious!

1BMW335 · 12-27-2012, 11:25 PM

That was pretty cheesy. Doesn't really show the performance of the cars and just playful scenes without any control.

Oh yeah, fix the title of this thread... "Challange" lol
