Framed M6 Tire Print

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
You may recall that when the M6 came out in 2012, BWM NA had Matt Mullins, Chief Driving Instructor of the BMW Performance Driving School, drive an M6 over interconnected large poster boards with ink being sprayed on the tires to create a continuous tire print. There is a video on YouTube showing this, entitled “The Making of a BMW M Print”, see
. On the back of those posters, on the opposite side from where the tire prints were laid down, there were cut outs, which had a message as follows:

“CAN YOU SMELL THE RUBBER?
An actual, all-new BMW M6 Coupe hauled over this card on its way from 0-60 in 4.1 seconds
To see how your real BMW M tread mark was created, watch the video at your personal BMW URL, found on the enclosed brochure.”

Those cut-outs were mailed out, but only had a portion of the tire print. I have been searching for the original large posters, and I thought that the complete tire footprint, when framed, would you look pretty cool. Luckily, I recently was able to get hold of two of those posters, and was able to create this framed picture -- see attachment. It now is proudly displayed in my apartment, and you may notice that at the bottom left corner, I was also able to include the printed message from the opposite side of the cut-out card. Just thought to share.
