## Caption

🎯 BMW once turned the F10 M5 into a 560-horsepower “bullet” for one of its most creative performance ads.
⠀
Released in 2012, the “Bullet” commercial imagined the M5 being fired from a giant barrel and recreating classic high-speed ballistic footage on a massive scale.
⠀
The car appears to smash through a giant glass apple, slice through enormous water balloons and finally punch straight through the center of a target.
⠀
BMW’s fifth-generation M5 used a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 560 horsepower and 680 Nm of torque, with 0 to 100 km/h taking about 4.3 seconds.
⠀
Behind the scenes, the production combined practical miniature effects with extensive digital work to make the full-size M5 appear to move like an actual projectile.
⠀
The apple, balloons and target effects were physically recreated at smaller scale and filmed at extremely high frame rates before being composited into the finished commercial.
⠀
More than a decade later, it is still one of those ads that sells speed without needing to explain much at all.
⠀
Is this one of BMW’s greatest commercials ever?
