Aside from the fact that the engineers behind this limo hadn't thought of hydraulic lifts, anyone else paid attention to the sound of steel when the bottom of the car hit the bump? Sounded like a thousand tonnes of steel. Now that's a really armored car!
Wow, thats kinda funny but also a serious security issue. They should raise the vehicle. I assume its built on a hummer or some sort of truck frame anyways to manage the enormous weight. Some custom 31 inch wheels and the issue goes bye-bye. Another option as ghetto as it sounds is to incorporate a modified hydrolic liftkit like the old lowriders. Regardless, that car is off the chain.
I love the effect of the metallic sound! Look at the three men on the right, who are there to protect the officials! They move away, as if the car is going to explode! :D And the crowd makes "Yeeeaa… Awww?" Very funny video, thanks for posting!
@Beniamin102xSilkroad Don't know if you've notice but this is in Ireland NOT England. The embassy is a joint architectural venture between Ireland and the States.
that car is heavy... cuz of all the safety features... I'd be freaked if I was secret service, because of it was right when they were leaving and slightly vulnerable. (or maybe cuz I just watched Olympus has fallen)
@Akrombio Not fake, was all over the news at the time. He was delayed because of it, I was one of the people waiting for him in the crowd on College Green.
I saw something like this in Bosnia too, at Camp Eagle - they put so much armor on a Humvee that one of the front wheels finally broke off. Lucky it happened on the base.
All you people doing the "BMW vs American" thing ... it has nothing to do with the brand of car but the LENGTH. The Limo actually as more undercarriage clearance than the BMW.
They thought they made an invincible car, but they forgot to put a hydraulic suspension to raise the car. Dammnit!

the perfect ad for BMW
"You guys, don't get out. Don't leave me here Obama self."
i bet security shat a ton of bricks at first, like it's some kind of assassination or what
Kept expecting to see some tactical maneuver. Reverse, drive, then Floor it. Back up. Have the rear car ram you forward.... Something!
how did the next limo get through? lol
The mount of work put into this visit and nobody thought would the cars be accessible everywhere?
the traditionally irish thing to do. Clap and say well done sarcastically :)
The Best BMW Advert EVER!
I love it when the crowd starts cheering when they see the car and all of a sudden go ooooo...
Had nothing to do with suspension. It has a long wheelbase
I love how the driver sheepishly tries to open the door, hoping that nobody noticed...
Epic... Win... I love the main woman going "Whooooooooo!" *CLANG* "Oooooooooh!" XD
this is actually the funniest thing ever!
When I was in Dublin and went past the embassy my friend shouted "LOOK IT'S BARACK OBAMA"
The driver's feel salty as ever LMAO!
lol it can survive a hail of grenades but a bump in the road is its alkalies heel
You spent how much modifying the car? And it problems going over curbs??
this video proves that all american cars are descended from boats.
LMAO, first it's WOOOOOO!!!!! then turns into a OOOHHHHHHH!

Best BMW-ad ever.
lol at the 3 guys on the left backing away
GG Cadillac.
i can't stop watch this.
Haha and they call it the beast
3 guys right of the entrance are like oh shit its gonna blow back up xD
that woman going "wooooo..OH!" funny everytime
"WOOOOOOO","DINK", Oh..... lol
that car is heavy... cuz of all the safety features... I'd be freaked if I was secret service, because of it was right when they were leaving and slightly vulnerable. (or maybe cuz I just watched Olympus has fallen)
It's a very well prepared and tested route...
- Are you going to change the car or the driver?
- Yes, we can!
If I was the first black president, even a small mishap like this would scare the living shit out of me.
Id be gone from that car with or without the secret agents lol
I love the reaction of the security officers on the right!!!! BOMB!!!
Ça a fait hurler de rire la France entière !
C'est passé à tous les journaux télévisés du soir !
Ohh my god i don't know what to say! This is a extremely rare once-in-a-lifetime happening. Woow if only the news covered more stories like this.
best BMW advertisement ever !!
It needs a tiny tweak and its called 4 WHEEL DRIVE!
こんなこともあるんだね...
重くて長いとこうなるんだぁ...
lol. next time use a real car, like a S Class. It has air suspension for situations like this.
@Akrombio Not necessarily. My wife's car scrapes the driveway if you pull in forward but not if you back it in.
Irish Ramps are lethal.
If Obama had his PERSONAL limousine, his 30" spinning rims would've cleared that incline with no issue.
Can you name the car with 4 wheel drive, smells like a steak and seats 35 canyanaro! Woah canyanaro!
シャコタンｗ
(In Japan, LowBodyCar called "Tyako-Tan".
It used by Boso-Zoku=JapaneseMotorCycleGang.)
@stashkid14 No, I knew it said stuck. Just a car not being able to move doesn't really appeal to me.
Was that a safety feature that went wrong? The front axle suddenly collapsed inward.
@Akrombio Not fake, was all over the news at the time. He was delayed because of it, I was one of the people waiting for him in the crowd on College Green.
dhe driver was like !!! I DONT GET PAID TO PUSH CARS MR PRESIDENT !!!
I saw something like this in Bosnia too, at Camp Eagle - they put so much armor on a Humvee that one of the front wheels finally broke off. Lucky it happened on the base.
check out how thick all that bullet proofing is
@swcastnetwork My guess is the car is much heavier and more people than the front one.
OMG! How cool are those blue lights integrated in that BMW O.O ill want that thing !!!
the front axle got ripped right from its frame supports if anyone was wondering why that happened.
it's so funny as the car comes out everyone starts to cheer the blop! oooooo
You can see the Bemer at 0:05 scrapping the curb also. Lets remember that "The Beast" probably weighs a couple tons.
No biggie, the president's limo doesn't meet many dips in the road like this one.
At least the assassin knows which car it is now.
thats what you get Mr.President, for wanting a caddy low rider.
What happens when the second car gets stuck then?
Dang those doors are thick huh? must be really tough to open..
LOL I like how at 0:13 the cops all back up like a bomb is about to go far
Und wie gings weiter
Notice how the guards flinch and then walk away real fast!! lol.... They probably thought it was getting attacked.
@07sheryar That was in Dublin, not the UK and it was on the grounds in the American Embassy, on American soil so It's their fault entirely.
haha, those cops were like, "F*** it, it's not my president."
They'd thought of everything ... except ...
And wow that's some tough door
For some reason, listening Nyan Cat while watching this was highly entertaining.
"i told you, you need to get some speed when leaving"
How did they get that big ass Caddy to the UK anyhow? On airforce one?
I love how they all back as though it is going to explode
Dear info, it's spelled curb. Not kerb...
"clinK" I rofled so hard. :D
Did it the axle brake or did it just bottom out?
Like how the guards and officer on the right start walking a way thinking oh shit bomb :O haha
theres always one "wa-heeeey" when this kind of thing happens in ireland :)
Did you see how thick those doors were?!?!?!?
So how did it get out?
Nah, the car is so long that the bottom of the car smashes into the ground.
LOL LOOK AT THE GUARDS ON THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN WHEN THE CAR HITS THE BUMP !!
whyd the front suspension get so compressed
0:22 'the awkward moment when.......' haha genuis
@lukenicolaides It weighs probably in excess of 4 tons... I don't think it would be so simple...
Next the FBI agents in a dark room start the interrogation:
MrSmith: Well well Mr. Weeny Kerb. Now Talk! Who Send You?!
They see me rollin , they hatin . . .
I think his heart has stopped believing it was a bomb
lol so much for protection, YOU DIDN'T THINK OF THE HEIGHT CLEARANCE DID YA?!?!?!?
The guards went back they thought it was gonna blow !!!! Loooook
@captainj84 On our knees like the great depression? Lol.
All you people doing the "BMW vs American" thing ... it has nothing to do with the brand of car but the LENGTH. The Limo actually as more undercarriage clearance than the BMW.
I wonder if the limo behind it got stuck in the same spot
I had a car like that once & had to get rid of it.
@xllxasylumxllx pretty sure it was a falling leaf. or a projectile thrown from the crowd.
They prepare for every possible scenario but forgot about their limo bottoming out on a tiny incline... HA!... -_-
Why do so many people think that this is in Germany? Makes no sense to me!
"Mr. President....uhhh, we got stuck"
watch that driver's side window frame's thickness when the driver comes out of it...
its almost a tank or even better
