This was the Oktoberfest challenge 2017.

” The cars have so much power, it is incredible. ”
Lena Gercke, BMW M Brand Ambassador

From test ground to Festwiese.

Fun was the name of the game at the grounds of the BMW and MINI Driving Academy. Participants had to prove their dexterity in special “Wiesn Challenges”. Passengers had to inscribe gingerbread hearts during a speedy ride in a BMW M4 CS (Fuel consumption in l/100 km (combined): 8.4; CO2 emissions in g/km (combined): 197) as it tackled a drifting parkour. On the challenging slalom parkour in a BMW i3s (Power consumption in kWh/100 km (combined): 14.3; CO2 emissions in g/km (combined): 0), the task was to throw cans out of the driving car. After the Wiesn Challenges, celebrations moved onto the eighth edition of the BMW Wiesn Sport Stammtisch. After a tour of the Festwiese, the BMW family settled in for the cosy ambiance of the Käfer-Wiesen-Schänke to re-fuel after an adrenaline-loaded day.
