O HELLA BMW · 07-27-2011, 02:08 AM

TOPEC · 07-27-2011, 03:27 AM

so was this just a single episode documentary or multi episodes?

jaadoogar · 07-27-2011, 05:10 AM

Single. But there were a couple of reruns if you missed the first.

maybe bmw should have saved the time they spent of the stupid gong and put more time into making a decent HPFP !!! i guess everyone would agree on that !

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe cnbc made this show, not BMW. And considering it was cnbc and not the speed channel the content was not surprising. You guys do know what their daily emphasis is right? The show was about the brand. Anyone looking for segments on engine or chassis engineering was looking in the wrong place.

Frankly, a lot of the comments in this thread are a little extreme. So because BMW has sound engineers every other detail in the car has to be perfect? So find me a perfectly engineered vehicle with no quirks or issues.

...she decided we're going to watch BMW: A driving obsession. It's on 602 if you have FiOS.

jopa489 · 08-29-2011, 08:00 PM

Watched this when it aired, pretty good.

John 070 · 08-29-2011, 08:12 PM

haha the show makes me feel as if I've got something special in my garage. Got give Carl Quintanilla props for taking that yellow Z4 up to 155....

There is a documentary about BMW: A Driving Obsession on CNBC. Just thought I would let all you fellow BMW lovers know. Enjoy!

Saintor · 08-29-2011, 08:34 PM

R you sure?

DesiRoc · 08-29-2011, 08:39 PM

1 I watched it when it premiered like a month ago on T.V. Great watch!

eisenb11 · 08-29-2011, 08:52 PM

I didn't really like it. They spent too much time talking about stupid stuff. I'd rather they showed us the M division instead of spending all that time with the sound engineers... boooooring!

John 070 · 08-29-2011, 09:03 PM

That's weird, the show I just watched was BMW: A driving obsession. Guess they call it something else depending on where you live.

Kishan1192 · 08-29-2011, 09:20 PM

Oh my bad, I was multi-tasking and wrote passion. Haha. Sorry.

Maybe I found it (magical powers required) after overcoming my own laziness?

OP, is this is?

Kishan1192 · 08-29-2011, 09:57 PM

Yea, that's it.

sean7554 · 08-30-2011, 12:04 AM

And he wasn't even wearing a seatbelt, lol

tonksy18 · 08-30-2011, 11:49 AM

Watched this the other day & it wasn't bad but felt it didn't go in to as much detail as i thought about the different models.

BIMMERGUY91 · 05-13-2012, 09:52 PM
