You've seen our video of a drifting BMW M5 on a beach in Wales in support of the BMW London 2012 Performance Team. Now see how we did it with Director, Stephen Blackman and Driver, Wolfgang Weber.

Ahead of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, a quiet beach in Wales echoes with the sound of the new BMW M5's twin turbo engines as precision driver Wolfgang Weber enjoys drifting around Pendine Sands to help us support the BMW London 2012 Performance Team athletes.

It honestly just looks like a big E90 M3.

Beautiful result, but it hurt me to see all that salt water spraying on it. But well done, nonetheless.

It might have regular summers on. When sand is wet it tends to stick together more. The water also tends to fill in the air space between particles. If the sand was dry he would more than likely sink and ride height would work against you. But considering how wide the M5's tires are it might not sink.

Only one way to find out which is by trying it.
