Watch the hot BMW M235i take on the Cape Town CBD – sideways.

What's cooler than seeing BMW's new 240kW/450Nm M235i rear-drive small coupe slide its way through the closed streets of the South African metropolis of Cape Town?

Five of them in formation of course, and particularly so with the skilled hands of world-class drifters Samuel Hübinette, Rich Rutherford, Rhys Millen, Conrad Grunewald and Dai Yoshihara at the wheel.

Directed by Hollywood stunt expert Mic Rodgers, and coordinated by Riley Harper, the M235i "Drift Mob" video shows exactly how naughty the M235i can be with the stability control set to Off.

Back when all cars burned fuel and couldn't drive themselves, Mal was curing boredom by scanning every car his parents' VB Commodore drove past. His childhood appreciation for the car world exploded during a three-year stint in the US, and serious questions were asked when he spent a good chunk of his uni career perfecting lap times at Wakefield Park. Mal got his big break scooping the VE II Commodore, before a stint at Overlander magazine and kicking off his online career with The Motor Report in its heyday. These days he's exactly the same height as Michael Schumacher and uses his powers for good at the helm of CarsGuide's editorial team. Mal proudly shuns brand allegiance and counts three young kids, an EH Holden, NA MX-5, KE20 Corolla, W116 Mercedes-Benz and the world's most versatile Toyota Echo among his personal stable. He also craves a Subaru Vortex, so get in touch if you know where to find one.
