🚗💨 In 2017, BMW driving instructor Johan Schwartz set out to break the Guinness World Record for the greatest distance drifted in eight hours using the then-new F90 M5.

Stopping for fuel would have ended the continuous drift, so BMW and Detroit Speed developed a custom dry-break refueling system that allowed the M5 to be filled while both cars were still sliding.

A second BMW M5 matched the record car’s drift while Matt Butts leaned out of its rear window on a safety tether and connected the fuel line between the moving cars.

The maneuver had to be performed five separate times during the eight-hour attempt.

Schwartz ultimately drifted continuously for 232.5 miles, or 374.2 kilometers, beating the previous record by an incredible 143 miles.

BMW even set a second record that day when two M5s drifted together for 49.25 miles over the course of one hour.

Would you trust yourself to refuel a car while BOTH vehicles are drifting?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
