BMW has been very keen to promote the drifting abilities of the new M3 and M4, so much so that it fitted them with a nifty feature dubbed the Drift Analyzer. Now, the German car manufacturer has teamed up with the Red Bull Driftbrothers to once again show off the performance credentials of the cars.
Elias and Johannes Hountondji are among the most recognizable professional drifters in Europe and immediately take the M3 and M4 to a piece of open pavement where they are able to kick out the tails of the cars and perform some remarkable drifts. Of course, this isn’t something your average driver would be able to replicate but the video does show just how capable the cars are.

Soon after getting familiar with the cars on a piece of open pavement, the Driftbrothers head out onto the Hockenheimring and start to drift around the circuit itself.
Towards the end of the video, the Driftbrothers briefly test out the Drift Analyzer, noting that it measures similar parameters to those that are used to judge drifting competitions. For example, the Drift Analyzer records things like the drift angle, speed, and length of the drift and then gives the driver a score out of five stars.
By all accounts, the new M3 and M4 are better cars to drive than their predecessors but is that enough to offset the controversial looks? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
