I appreciate how you incorporate the sponsorship of BWM into your vlog style so that it isn't a commercial. It's always tricky, but you do both yourself and BMW justice in the way you blend them together. Well done, Ben :).
How does this video work in terms of UK advertising laws, given that I don't see it clearly labelled as sponsored or anything? I am not too bothered by it, just curious as to how this video wouldn't apply.
+Chris Rogers Great work on the GoPro footage Chris (Lekker soos n krekker :D) - Love the intro part at 8:15 and then just that little snow spray at 8:57
+AdventureConwards Yep, but that's what they expect when they pay Ben for doing their advertising ;) Pro editing and shooting skills (not sure if it's all his work, but that doesn't matter, it's a great video) but the ad-scenes have been bad. I love a more natural Ben, not an acting one.
This is how promotion should be done, it was not in your face but there where constant references to the features of the BMW's. Fantastic shots and cinematography congrats Ben!
SP's and the other guys hair was still dry when they come out of the water at 2:38 :) Probably a shot that they forgot to film when they actually got out. Great video!
+Music Lad Nothing wrong with making mistakes, it's how people learn. If no one ever pointed out peoples mistakes nothing would ever improve. Also that animation isn't actually new it has been used in some of his past vlogs.
I think you tackled the challenge of making sponsored content thats not overly commercialistic. It was like watching a fine mini movie. Entertaining but also educating as well. Awesome job!
thanks Ben and Crew, absolutely amazing to see the finished product. BMW should be very happy with how the cars were incorporated. loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ben, I've watched a lot of your videos for years now and to this day this is my favorite piece of your work. The music, shots and everything else about it is beautifully done. Thank you for your creative inspiration.
+Pim Verlaat But if you look at the credits you will see that Ben wasn't the only one that made this video. Truthfully I am confused by who made it now...
This was just on point. Loved the way you mixed the casual vlogging vibe with the professionalism of an action movie with some commercial aspects. Positivity throughout the video to top it off. Just 👌
I went into the comments expecting people to be complaining about an ad So happy to be surprised with such amazing support Brownies are as amazing as Ben himself haha Amazing video Ben! You're a huge inspiration to aspiring artists of all kind. It isn't easy to seamlessly incorporate an ad into a regular vlog, especially while making it as amazing as this one! Always a pleasure keep up the good work :)
This is absolutely one of my favorite videos now. The story of hitting up three different extreme sports is so cool. I really like the this a lot, much love brother.
This is exactly the way partnerships should be! BMW got a great advertisement for a young audience, Ben got an awesome trip, and we got a video that was super entertaining and a huge pleasure to watch! You really did an awesome job Ben! :)
My first car was a BMW and i loved it. So amazing to see that they are willing to collaborate with a TH-cam vlogger. Really this video was phenomenal and you crushed it. The surfing section alone really was pro! Great work Ben and BMW!
When I asked a couple weeks ago when this video was going to be released, You responded "when its done"... I know understand why it took so long, Ben... This is my favorite edit of yours! You did an insanely amazing job on this video!!! Proud to be an OG Brownie
I think the whole concept of the Vlog-mercial is a good thing for everyone all around. As far as vlogger brand deals go. And Ben gets to help invent a whole new medium with his very tasteful music, cienamaphotogrophy, and tasteful products. Well done Ben, SP, gang, and BMW!
DAMN BEN!! way to step it up. nice work. incredible video. lovely story. amazing cast of friends. thanks for putting the positivity out there

+CaseyNeistat The Legend Casey.....
Good job saving the drone casey
Casey and Ben are absolutely two of the best vlogger since!
+Ida Scaglia vloggers
I appreciate how you incorporate the sponsorship of BWM into your vlog style so that it isn't a commercial. It's always tricky, but you do both yourself and BMW justice in the way you blend them together. Well done, Ben :).
+bjaydubya thanks :) it's super challenging for both the brand and the creator, but I think we got there with this one!
How does this video work in terms of UK advertising laws, given that I don't see it clearly labelled as sponsored or anything? I am not too bothered by it, just curious as to how this video wouldn't apply.
+Cal H I think the description and intro covered it pretty well.
Yiieew! What an epic trip! Thanks for having me along dude! :)
Good job Christ!
I mean Chris, although you do look abit like Jesus...
+Finn Hoggart 😂😂^
+Chris Rogers dude! So many great shots from you, thanks for the adventure! See you soon I hope
+Chris Rogers Great work on the GoPro footage Chris (Lekker soos n krekker :D) - Love the intro part at 8:15 and then just that little snow spray at 8:57
best edited video yet
+Joshua Nesbitt (Joshuapiano) Ya it was so awesomely put together!
+AdventureConwards Yep, but that's what they expect when they pay Ben for doing their advertising ;) Pro editing and shooting skills (not sure if it's all his work, but that doesn't matter, it's a great video) but the ad-scenes have been bad. I love a more natural Ben, not an acting one.
+moyashisoba I can't see Ben or his friend are acting anyway. Ben is Ben.
Can't believe I missed this! Looks like a lot of fun :) & congrats on the video!! This might be your best work yet!
+Lana I Like your videos :)
Your beautiful
Lanitaaa 💕
best. surprise. notification. EVER
+Jack Leigh jep
I know, this was awesome
...wot..!!?? No sign-off? Now we'll all get lost or killed! (Excellent vid, BTW)
Cheers.
Lol favorite comment so far
+BLEURfangers Hahahahaha I love it
+BLEURfangers He didn't sign off coz this was a BMW ad not a vlog
awesome video buddy! love the filming :)
The shots at 8:15 were absolutely *mind blowing :o*, great job on the cinematography and editing of this video! Definitely *deserves more views*
+Daan J 4:50 tho
Vlogging at its finest point in history IMO - great job ben!
It's only going to get better
+Crezy™ Its not a vlog. But really great video by no doubts
+Crezy™ especially with all the amazing technology coming out lately! all this 4K, 5K, autonomous drones, ect. Its a good time to be alive =)
This was an awesome film Ben! Nice job.
This is how promotion should be done, it was not in your face but there where constant references to the features of the BMW's. Fantastic shots and cinematography congrats Ben!
Smashed the edit Ben. Top notch brotha!
+vagabrothers thanks dudes!
Those snowboarding shots were amazing, especially those slow motion cuts!
SP's and the other guys hair was still dry when they come out of the water at 2:38 :) Probably a shot that they forgot to film when they actually got out. Great video!
7:04 was a voiceover too - it's difficult to get everything correct first time on a busy shoot like this I imagine
+Noah Edwards "the other guy" is none other than GoPro maestro Chris Rogers
Why are you guys pointing out the bad things when you can praise Ben for his epic video that he's made. Btw the new intro animation looked sick :)
+Music Lad Nothing wrong with making mistakes, it's how people learn. If no one ever pointed out peoples mistakes nothing would ever improve.
Also that animation isn't actually new it has been used in some of his past vlogs.
+Noah Edwards who cares?
Chris did a sick job with those shots!
Killed it Ben! Awesome work!
I think you tackled the challenge of making sponsored content thats not overly commercialistic. It was like watching a fine mini movie. Entertaining but also educating as well. Awesome job!
Ooo been waiting for this BMW film... Exciting!
Yeah the glide cam shots were so sick
The snowboarding scenes are incredible, the slow-mo with the blowing powder is great!
My god this was the highest quality vlog I've ever seen on TH-cam. @syndicatecentral pay attention, this is what a vlog should look like.
thanks Ben and Crew, absolutely amazing to see the finished product. BMW should be very happy with how the cars were incorporated. loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When you get the youtube notification and it says 2 new Ben Brown videos, that's one of the best feelings :D
+Paul Ptk Haha it is most definitely is one of the best feelings :)
Haha it is :)
+Paul Ptk You talking to yourself?
+Georgia Wingett what u mean?
Paul Ptk Oh for some reason the other guys comment didn't show up on my phone, so it looked like you were talking to yourself haha
Ben, I've watched a lot of your videos for years now and to this day this is my favorite piece of your work. The music, shots and everything else about it is beautifully done. Thank you for your creative inspiration.
woah ben! i can only imagine the amount of effort that went into filming and editing this, and like damn, i'm impressed...
+Thomas Wiltshire thanks :) yeah it was a long journey! haha
Fantastic intro!! Loved that zoom effect in the car with the music!
Amazing editing Ben! Hope i can meet you this summer when I go to Cape Town!
This is editing!
I hope for you little brother!
Yeah! Love BenBrown!
+Pim Verlaat But if you look at the credits you will see that Ben wasn't the only one that made this video. Truthfully I am confused by who made it now...
+Martin W I know right, but the video is still awesome!
Amazing work Ben. Great seeing it all come together.
Incredible work dude! So many unreal shots :)
I knew Adrian had something to do with that masterpiece. amazing work well done Ben !!
that's what a promo vid can look like. incredible.
Loved this! Ocean to snow and mountains..... This video made me appreciate living in L.A. and how both aren't that far away at all.
This video gave me some serious tingles, brev.
really appreciate that it isn't a commercial, more of a vlog with topic bmw. good job
I guess they left out the part where they almost wrecked them head on with a transport.
+Nick Pegg I kinda want to see that cus I didn't watch the blog in time X_x
+NORTH_ONE Did he remove it?
and when they got stuck in the snow! great 4x4.
still a great video!
+renatwin It looks like it. Not surprising, seeing as BMW probably didn't like the whole "we got it stuck" angle.
+M750 Yeah I was just about to say, no mention of the 4wd system getting them stuck ha
Oh my god..... I'm actually out of words, this is just so amazingly filmed, edited and narrated! Best cinematography I've seen this year!!!
I've never enjoyed an ad before wowwww. Good job Ben! Too bad I'm a woman living in Saudi Arabia so I can't drive a car 😒
THE VIBES FROM THIS VLOG!!
Nicely done!! I do wantz one :)
Save 50.000 bucks and it's yours :-)
This was just on point. Loved the way you mixed the casual vlogging vibe with the professionalism of an action movie with some commercial aspects. Positivity throughout the video to top it off. Just 👌
that intro tho
Yeah I was really surprised by it
+Nathan Duck Same! Pretty sweet tho
This is a different level !!! A hybrid after vlog and visual vibes!!! Love it
So it came out, yeah!

Those snowboarding shots were perfection
I also appreciate Chris Rogers work in this video. His shots are amazing with the GoPro and the shots with the cars.
THE QUALITY!! Amazing work Ben!

I went into the comments expecting people to be complaining about an ad
So happy to be surprised with such amazing support
Brownies are as amazing as Ben himself haha
Amazing video Ben! You're a huge inspiration to aspiring artists of all kind. It isn't easy to seamlessly incorporate an ad into a regular vlog, especially while making it as amazing as this one! Always a pleasure keep up the good work :)
Ben, Casey and Luzu are my favourites. They have way different styles but I love their work. So inspiring!
This is absolutely one of my favorite videos now. The story of hitting up three different extreme sports is so cool. I really like the this a lot, much love brother.
Amazing Ben! Don't worry about the struggles you had, it's really fantastic !
This was so sweet! I loved some of those smooth slow action shots in the water, bikes and then snow! Well done! You're getting better and better 👍🏽

Wow, absolutely amazing Ben! Brilliant video. This one is at the top. You and Adrian Bliss did an spectacular job editing. Mega thumbs up!!! Douglas
The only 9 minute car commercial I would watch over and over again. Great job Ben
This is exactly the way partnerships should be! BMW got a great advertisement for a young audience, Ben got an awesome trip, and we got a video that was super entertaining and a huge pleasure to watch! You really did an awesome job Ben! :)
My first car was a BMW and i loved it. So amazing to see that they are willing to collaborate with a TH-cam vlogger. Really this video was phenomenal and you crushed it. The surfing section alone really was pro! Great work Ben and BMW!
Pure class from start to finish. Amazing!
The absolute best so far to come from you Ben. It's obvious all the hard work you guys put into this!
I can't even lie, I watched this video like a billion times. I'd love seeing more films on your channel. Great Job.
Greetings from Bavaria!
Everythin' so perfect about the video, the music, the edit, the surfing! on point!!! Ben
Really enjoyed this. The snowboard montage really stood out to me. Excellent job all around!
Absolutely brilliant Ben!
When I asked a couple weeks ago when this video was going to be released, You responded "when its done"... I know understand why it took so long, Ben... This is my favorite edit of yours! You did an insanely amazing job on this video!!! Proud to be an OG Brownie
Awesome, great job. This is one of the best Vlog I´ve ever seen. Camera, story, movement....
All the drone shots are so perfect. Good work all around!
I think the whole concept of the Vlog-mercial is a good thing for everyone all around. As far as vlogger brand deals go. And Ben gets to help invent a whole new medium with his very tasteful music, cienamaphotogrophy, and tasteful products. Well done Ben, SP, gang, and BMW!
Amazing work Ben, the music was spot on, such an energetic vibe!
This is the nicest editing ever! I like the Balance between promoting the car and showing your activities!
Cant stop smiling, such a feel good film.
I love the vlogs but this kinda stuff is my favourite 💙
That was awesome! Some of those shots were so well done! Great work! Looks like an epic time was had by all.
This was insane! Goals right there in one video!
ben this is hands down the best movie you have done to date

Ben, are you kidding me!? You're literally killing it. Good work!!
Ben, killing it!

The quality is insane. Love the music and editing is on point as always. Good job Ben and the rest of the crew!
