Why would anybody drop a Mercedes-Benz SLC nose-first into a BMW 3 Series from 120 feet? Well, there are tons of reasons that could stand behind such an action (as well as ten times more reasons not to do it), but the main idea is that we're not here to discuss a hypothesis.
And that's because the Autoblog crew over at CarBoom! has gone for what appears to be a temporary rebranding, as they've gone for a Car Drop adventure.

Just like the recent Mad Max clip demonstrating what can be done when testosterone replaces special effects, the piece of footage we have here is 100 percent real. So prepare to see the C107-generation Merc SLC (the one built between 1972 and 1989) using its 4.5-liter V8 nose to penetrate an E46 BMW 3 Series.

We're not here to take sides, so we'll refrain from commenting on the impact this video has had on us. Nevertheless, it's simply impossible to miss the opinion-splitting nature of the episode.

And we expect plenty of people to experience similar feelings to the one they got when watching the iPhone 7 getting an impromptu headphone jack with the help of a power drill. Just in case you've been out camping under the melting ice cap, with no Internet, we've added the Apple smartphone torture video beneath the one showing the automotive ordeal. Speaking of which, if you're the kind who love bets, now would be a good time to try and guess the likes/dislikes ratio of the freshly uploaded car clip.

Who knows? Perhaps the team behind the Nevada Desert drop was trying to patent a new crash-welding technique. While this does seem to work, we'll stick to conventional welding.

P.S.: In our book, the most extreme scene is the one involving the 3er's sunroof being used as a camera filter.
