"The Ranch Hand" - e39m5 chase car
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2020
- The "Ranch Hand" is a purpose-built 2002 BMW e39M5, modified with speed rail, a 3-axis dampening Flowcine Black Arm and Ronin 2 and Alexa Mini setup that can effectively capture car-to-car footage at speeds over 130MPH.
All filming conducted by Professional Driver's on Closed Course. Do Not Attempt.
The (Behind-the-Scenes) Story:
For the last decade or so I’ve been tinkering with shock and suction mounts, triangulation kits, gimbals- all strapped to whatever car was around.This eventually led to the Black Arm and after getting it all setup on a Toyota FJ Cruiser, its trial by fire was at Willow Springs. Although everything worked, we quickly realized an SUV was a substantially dangerous chase car on a track and that something faster was required.
Options for this are infinite. As long as the vehicle can have tow-hooks and a roof rack, a very stable setup can be created. From the beginning I knew that it had to be a naturally aspirated, 6spd, e39 M5. Alex of Glen Shelly in Colorado had the answer to my problem with a whopping 205K miles on the clock. Knowing it would need to be repaired anyway, this was perfect.
Freshly fetched from the snow, we immediately retrofitted it with speed rail and dispatched it to our next shoot - a Mclaren 720S at Tejon Ranch. Flying along the road we pirouetted in and out of the trees we even able hit 120mph in very close proximity. The stability and speed paired image quality of the Alexa Mini were fantastic.
Most of the summer, I spent time chasing mechanical problems while I also added the front mount -, painted the speed rail and wheels black, installed monitor mounts and kept pushing it to see what she could do.
By the fall, a very exciting job had come to light - a brand launch for a 3D Printed hyper car: the Czinger 21C It was a 1 of 1 NDA prototype with 1250hp and a theoretical top speed of 268mph.
From Alameda Naval Station to Willow Springs to Laguna Seca and Bixby Bridge, we pushed the ranchhand to new limits, attempting to capture the 21C with as much precision and speed s possible. Although we used a Russian Arm for our Hollywood shoot, the BMW was perfect to keep up through the corners and flat out at over 130mph down the runway.
This chase car project wasn’t a master plan, or even designed on paper - It was just the culmination of trial and error and getting carried away with it all.
It was built not as a rental, but as a statement and a way to achieve speeds beyond traditionally found in the Russian arm/Crane Car platform. It's a tool in the toolbox and a way for us to offer something as a company that other's might not. Thanks to everyone who helped develop and operate it!

Still the absolute coolest chase car. Such a win.
Cheers man!
Sooo cool. Thanks for that!
@mumbo what's ur fav car????
I'm just proud to see some cinemilled parts getting used at Laguna on a M5 camera car!
i have never enjoyed a video more than this one! I will replay it one more time now!!
That corkscrew footage 😱🙌🏽🙌🏽
Reminds me of the old commercial with the land speed record car on the Utah Salt Flats. Absolutely bangin' setup.
edit: I somehow completely glossed over how you included the commercial in the first minute of the video. Still, what an awesome chase car.
The best video about this tech.
This is especially cool because one of the original E39 M5 commercials was of an M5 being a chase car for one of those rocket cars that breaks land speed records
Good job guys!
Lost for words, this is so fucking dope made. That chase car, is like goals
So sick. Thanks for showing this 👍
Great video
Super interesting
M5 Perfect choice
Mythbusters...RIP Grant Imahara😞🙏🏽🙏🏽 Super epic E39!!
Great video, boys! Love seeing how everyone is being creative with rig cars.
well done. great choice
Totally awesome!
Fantastic car and filming!
Such a cool car, and superb cinematography, gives me inspiration to make my videos look as good as yours, thanks for the content :)
I approve this message!
It was ALWAYS GONNA BE THE E39 M5!! EPIC Mic drop!!
Absolute Beast ! Great video Great Machinery you got there ! 👌🔥
So well done. Congrats
M5 + Alexa 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤩🤩🤩
Do you film everything with it??
This thing look sinsane! Shots look amazing
Sometimes It doesn't need a plan, just go with your interests, and this car, some amazing thing will happen.
Such an awesome chase car.
This is so damn cool!
What a setup. I'd think an auto or dual clutch might be more stable for taking continuous shots/films? An F10 M5 might be in the horizon...
LOVE
sick !
Epic!
Interviewer: So what's your talent?
This m5 driver: Well I won races against super cars, while fliming them chasing me at production 4k quality.
Interview: ..... (A moment of silence in shock)
You are hired with bonus.
E39 M5 - where the crew car gets more attention than the shoot car.
Wish there was a parts list
Isn't the electric car the most 'perfect' vehicle for a camera work? Instant power, no motor vibration, good body, chassis stiffness? Tell me if i'm wrong somewhere. Also is it vital to have 4 seats? Could it be mounted and balanced out on a sport coupe.. as the mounts are custom and you need a driver and an operator anyways.. ? @Praemio
What is the music at the end of the video
song of the end please
Still shots from 2008 El Mirage:

@@PraemIo the pics I posted are actually my car, 12 years ago, with me driving and Nate Nappierala photographing. :-) Glad it inspires!
Otomobile.com is my M5 photo blog, check it out.
It appears this comment is auto-hidden because it contains links. I switched YT profiles and could not see it.
Anyone know what the name of the song used at the end of the video is?
You should re-film the M5 desert rocket car commercial, in 4K, but instead of rocket car, feature an M5 E39.. two M5's. Your's filming another.
