The BMW M2 takes centre stage in a wild new drift film, carving black lines through BMW’s historic Munich plant with the precision of a pit-lane stop. Built by the Red Bull Driftbrothers and nicknamed the “Ultimate Drift Machine”, this one-off M2 swaps daily-driver duties for single-seat, tyre-smoking theatre, complete with a roof-level exhaust that howls across empty assembly halls. It’s a surreal sight, not least because the road-going M2 is actually assembled in Mexico, yet this car pirouettes past German production robots like it owns the place.
Beneath the swollen bonnet sits the familiar twin-turbo 3.0-litre straight-six, reworked far beyond showroom tune. Output leaps to a quoted 1,085 hp, backed by colossal torque and sent exclusively to the rear axle. The chassis wears a broad-shouldered kit with wider wings, deep cooling apertures and a layered rear aero package that plants the tail without dulling the car’s willingness to rotate. On camera, the M2 clips inches from body-in-white shells while the drone dives through the cabin mid-slide—proper car control captured with razor focus.
The Driftbrothers call this the “Ultimate Drift Machine” for good reason. The set-up is designed for fine throttle modulation and rapid direction changes: a heavy-duty cooling circuit, quick steering, aggressive lock angles and a driveline geared for immediate response. Despite the spectacle, the project remains in development trim, with competitive outings targeted for the next Drift Masters European Championship season once final calibration is complete.
There’s a training angle baked in, too. BMW M Academy is collaborating with the Driftbrothers to prepare cars that make controlled slides more approachable for learners—far tamer than the factory-storming hero, but tuned for predictable breakaway and recovery. And as the cameras roll inside Munich, there’s a footnote to the venue itself: from the end of 2027, this storied plant is set to build electric models only, making the M2’s smoky send-off through its corridors feel like a final chorus for combustion in the Bavarian capital.
