I must have felt so scared and tense in his place, would have probably braked really hard in the middle of the ramp to avoid a dangerous crash.. really brave of him, deserved that record.
I've never really got the point of using a jump like this for distance records. Sure it takes a lot of guts to perform, but beyond that just drive fast and you win. Jumping a huge distance is a lot more impressive when you have to land it!
This sort of stuff is going to get insane when cars like the Tesla, that can be driverless, get more common. I can envision entire shows, like battle bots, specializing in using driverless cars to do outrageous stunts at very high speeds.
Scientific physics mumbo jumbo vs. Randomized crumple zones decided by quantum mechanics. Awsome! Driver putting his faith in random crumple zones and QM. Gotta love a driver with balls.
I can tell you from experience how DISTURBINGLY quiet it is up there once you leave the ramp. lol. Until Touch Down! .. A 1977 FORD Maverick, a quiet country road and the desire to fly. Long story sjort. Mission accomplished!! 314 feet from launch to land, All were impressed,, Except Caledon OPP. A record unbroken for 40 years
I want to see this redone with a smoother curvature constant radius ramp and a weighted car. A much faster car. No downforce, just pure mass and horsepower. With a long enough runway starting with a corner, reaching 350kph should be doable. I want a smoother ramp to take bounce out and lift off at maximum compression of the springs. Heavy springs. Oh and a landing zone that is not raised above the appproach :-)
Yes, and they landed in a field of caravans - which was the reason for them to do it. There were also no judges, it was just to destroy some stuff for "entertaining" the visitors.
They take the risk of a newspaper headline: Fifth gear-stuntdriver died in tragic accident when his car landed on its roof. He's lucky the the roof wasnt impaled if it was a full roof flipover. Guy must have been paid very well by Fifth gear, who prefers TV stats over human lives.
Rest In Peace E34 :(
BMW during that era are tough as nails. Some simple rework on the mechanicals and you're pretty much good to go.
looks like he forgot to brace for impact.
He dosn t need to brace!!! Its not a plane its a bmw!!!
@@carinebrunn6778 You realise BMW made planes
@@carinebrunn6778 he said he was going to brace then didn't
Brace ??? What does that mean
When your flying through the air, you’d forget what your name is.
You simply become a passenger.
"Kids get in the camper we are going on a road trip!"
XD
6:33 into the road trip!!
PandaSoup an off road trip!
Jeez dude
“We’re going to go see grandma”

Jump starts a 6:15
thanks sir
Thanks
ThatOneVideo thanks
Thanks so much
I recognised the set up music. Its the music that plays in the final mission of driver sanfransisco
Kids in Antarctica could have eaten that BMW
I must have felt so scared and tense in his place, would have probably braked really hard in the middle of the ramp to avoid a dangerous crash.. really brave of him, deserved that record.
BMW makes really good flying machines
E34. Solid as a tank and the peak of the automobile industry.
Yup, couldn't agree more.
He forgot to takes his hands off the wheel, he could of broken then both.
+Cosmic Surfer *have
Yeah, I said it, c'mon bring it! FIGHT ME!
Where can you see it?
6:15 is the jump
did such a sweet e34 really have to die for this!??
It's an E39, just about the least valuable second-hand 5 series.
Joe Kingsbury
youre gonna have to google this up. its a million % not an e39 and without a shade of a doubt an e34
+Arnaud Fontaine its only a beamer. chill.
BMW cars during this era are tough as nails. Give some simple mechanical rework, and you're pretty much good to go.
it'll buff out
6:31 i believe i can fly
I believe I can fly...
I believe I might almost die
You destroyed a beautiful BMW E34
All of those cars that the E34 landed on were destroyed too.
As an owner of an E34, it crushed my soul because it was FLAWLESS
A 530i too.
Angry Cat Owner Unlike the E34 530i, those cars were already being scrapped. And it's not like people generally car much about Fiat Uno's anyway
Retro Powers
making Richard Hammond proud
So did he actually achieve 85 MPH?
Shame. That looked like a nice 530i beforehand.
Nope just another crap BMW.
ZepG
What's crap about it, or are you just being anti-BMW for some stupid reason ?
Ya, the E34 was famous for being the "crap one" in the mid-sized exec class.
Just another internet troll, maybe...?

"Ya, the E34 was famous for being the "crap one" in the mid-sized exec class."
Erm no it wasn''t.

When even a stunt driver gets surprised by a common e30/E34 problem @7:44
Poor 530i E34. :(
6:40 Man, how can you do that to an Austin Maestro and an Escort van using a BMW like that. The BMW drivers are really at it this time, it seems.
its the stunt that the war rages in top gear vs fifth gear
6:24
you are welcome
how d the car fare out . show the inside of the car! we want to see how well it stud up to the cras!. Dano 7/19/16
For a second there, I thought he would actually fly pass the cars and land on the road.
That camper exploded like a firecracker
e34 - best car

+Jackie Scholl That would be boring! driver skill is the only reason to have motorsports
Whats his name?
Silly, non-sense, I love it !
Impressive jump !
Scientific physics mumbo jumbo vs. Randomized crumple zones decided by quantum mechanics.
Awsome! Driver putting his faith in random crumple zones and QM. Gotta love a driver with balls.
why does he sound like alex for carthrottel
I know a good joke:
Fifth Gear.
I know another good joke the Toronto maple leafs
I like it but not everyone is a car person.
Gertjan Van Liedekerke jeep chakleer
Interesting how they keep the plates on the cars they wreck. I guess at some point there will be someone watching who says "That was my car!"
wait a second... this was from 2004? yet it's in 1080p.
The stunt man seems quite nervous about the whole thing?!
he did that record one day before I was born lol
i can only imagine how a broke car guy to whom that car is worth it's weight in gold be feeling after seeing this😂😂
If he drank a Red Bull first, he would have jumped much farther.
It's just common sense
At one point the general lee had a world record twice
i actually got kinda sad when the caravan got blown to bits :(
Guy in the caravan?
Hahaha that mathematician was a mad man, way off!
Derek is the Top Gear Stunt Man, right?
landed right on his gas tank........
Did the grandmother sleeping in the trailer, survive..
No spectators?
In America we have 30 foot campers some around 40
Rip BMW 5-Series (e34)
The caravan exploded

what were they thinking?!
Why bmw e34 :(
Woody Harrelson is a crazy stunt driver.
Poor E34
I feel you
who's that knucklehead sleeping in the caravan?
There was actually an person in that?!
thank god he is ok
Don't fret , all BMW's end up like this from daily use. I felt worse for the classic camper!
ZepG campers are shoit
BMW's are shoitier
What the hell that ramp isn't safe
I see this everyday on American highways.
POOR BMW
Poor Beemer :( They were much more common in 2004 but still :/
BMW cars during those era are tough as nails. Make a simple mechanical rework, and you're pretty much good to go.
this is what the mans like
I love e34s. I have one myself. This hurts me :(
I won't feel sad much because E34 Beemers are tough as nails.
Everyone on about the bmw, I’m more heartbroken by the Peugeot 309 in the pile :( and to a lesser degree the 4th gen starlet
I wonder how much they paid him
so, this is not Top Gear ??? I'm leavin now ....
1 person is a caravan
a man has to be sick to do something like that...
Nothing to be proud of Russ. Fifty yards ! I just stabbed my brian. I think I'll check under the hood.
honey this might get a tad bumby.....
Proud owner of a BMW
😀
Mind blowing ohh😲 my😱 God it's very dangerous
Well that didn't work.....how about ketchup and mustard in the same bottle?
disliked for the bmw rip
Yeah.
Is this vid from the 80s?
Vadim Viehoff Then you are a fucking dumbass, this is from 2004.
+Vadim Viehoff how about you get your ass off TH-cam and learn fucking manners
Vadim Viehoff WHY THE FUCK WOULDN'T IT BE SARCASTIC? THERE ARE CARS FROM THE 80S AND ALSO YOU CAN SEE IN THE VIDEO THAT IT'S FROM 2004.
Vadim Viehoff Actually I'm a skinny ass, 18 years old and 65kg, you are the fat ass. I'm calm wtf??
Vadim Viehoff Oh so when people use capital letters on the fucking internet they are mad? Wow dude you are so fucking dumb.
wow, 2004 you recorded 2016 you published, 12 YR DIFF!?!?!?!?!?!?! :0
the pinnacle of modern technology and engineering, hey lets jump a trailer hitched, um ok! Those Brits and their calculations, let jump it already.
why would someone jump into a bunch of cars to see if he can die? come on plan something easy.
Wait til he is older this guy will feel the pain later on in life 😁😁😁😁
так я непонял... караван что ? не летает????????????
Feet and inches... seriously?
didn't top gear aka the more successful and funnier show do this as well? Im not sure who copied who but i think top gear did it in a volvo estate
Yes, and they landed in a field of caravans - which was the reason for them to do it. There were also no judges, it was just to destroy some stuff for "entertaining" the visitors.
Love bmw
Very impressive, but has this guy got a death wish or something?

rip e34
looks like murica sounds like BBC
+Stephen Smith I don't get it
This seems like a very American thing to do but it was produced by people with a British accent.
Stephen Smith Yeah, Americans think they're the only ones that would do this kind of stuff.
rip driver
Top gear failed to beat it
Literally, what was the point of this..
To brake the world record back then
no
top gear is still better
Video starts at 6:30
Really sick bro.
