Gleaming paintwork, coffee to drift and the inhabitants are one big community: M Town, the imaginary place where the dreams of petrolheads and high-performance fans are fulfilled. To create the colourful, high-powered Utopia for this latest chapter, an extensive crew worked under director Micky Suelzer and production designer Baader el Hindi on a huge set. Besides the dozens of M automobiles used in the shoot, it’s above all the attention to detail that makes this universe so authentic – a picture of teeming life, studded with stories linked to the three most powerful letters on Earth.

 

The behind-the-scenes video shows how The Drop came to be: Have a look backstage and you’ll be amazed at the huge number of props in close-up. And… action!

A lot of effort has also gone into the many set locations that were specially designed for the film. Whether it's the coffee shop, the "Trattoria Turbo" pizzeria or the "Sorry Flowers" flower store - all of M Town's stores, advertising banners and street furniture often carry a hidden message. But only those who speak fluent petrolhead, know how to decipher them.

PRECISION.

There were more than 30 BMW M automobiles involved in the production, including classics like the legendary BMW M3 E30 or the uncompromising BMW M4 GTS racer. But 18 different cars from the present product range also make an appearance. So there were numerous precision drivers involved in the perfect coordination of adrenaline-filled driving scenes. No easy task: Shoots like this require particular sensitivity in order to get the cars on camera circulating on the asphalt with millimetre accuracy.

    Official data on power consumption and electric range were determined in accordance with the mandatory measurement procedure and comply with Regulation (EU) 715/2007 valid at the time of type approval. In case of a range, figures in the NEDC take into account differences in the selected wheel and tire size; figures in the WLTP take into account any optional equipment. WLTP values are used for assessing taxes and other vehicle-related charges that are (also) based on CO2 emissions, as well as for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies, if applicable. Where applicable, the NEDC values listed were calculated based on the new WLTP measurement procedure and then converted back to the NEDC measurement procedure for comparability reasons. For newly type-tested vehicles since 01.01.2021, the official data no longer exist according to NEDC, but only according to WLTP. For more information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures, see https://www.bmw.com/wltp.
