BMW M6 Demonstrates Frozen Drifting in Northern Canadian Rockies, a Pennzoil Ad

As if this was one of those frozen World Rally Championship (WRC) stages, the 560 hp Bimmer gets to slide all over the place. However, the action you see here takes place in the Northern Canadian Rockies.

The drifting shenanigans appear to continue into the triple-digit speed zone, so yes, this clip will keep you entertained. Oh, and let's not forget that we're dealing with an endangered species, namely a stick shift M6.

Truth be told, the M6 makes for an awesome drift machine, but only when you plan to engage in slip angle shenanigans. If, however, you aim to go for some high-velocity cornering, you might be surprised to find out the grand tourer can sometimes act against you.

Given the two-ton scale footprint of the M6, as well as its dedication towards proving some serious coziness, this big coup can easily become a handful if you decided to play with the steering wheel too much while going fast. And while that may sound like a truism, trust us, it's not.

With BMW having reportedly decided to bring the upcoming F90 M5 in all-wheel-drive form only, we'll have to wait for the sedan's 2017 release to find out if the M6 that will obviously follow is set to go down the same route.

Let's return to the tail-out stunts we have here

While the first clip below shows the ad itself, the second one brings us the behind-the-scenes take, while the this allow you to get a 360-degree view of the sliding action.

P.S.: Since the usual "professional driver on a closed course" safety tagline was added, you should keep in mind that you're the one responsible for what happens after the rear end of your M6 starts sliding.
