A BMW across Argentina – the photo outtakes

Published: 17 March 2011 Updated: 26 January 2015

In the new April 2011 issue of CAR – out now – there are some great stories. Top of the list is an exclusive group test, as we pit the Porsche Cayman R against the Lotus Evora S, BMW M3 and Nissan GT-R. There’s another world exclusive, too: only CAR has had access to both Alfa and Saab’s stunning new concept cars. You can see a full digital preview of the new issue of CAR here.

We’ve also sent Ben Pulman off to Argentina, where he racked up 1800 miles putting BMW’s 5-series to the ultimate test – he took the car off-road in the Andes, through incredible lunar landscapes, and got the 530d stuck in the mud, stranding himself and photographer Stuart Collins.

There are ten pages dedicated to the story in the new April 2011 issue of CAR, but the pictures taken were so good that it seemed a shame to let the Stuart’s extra photos go un-used. So now you, the CAR Online reader, gets an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at our BMW 5-series adventure. If the photos we didn’t use are this good, just imagine what’s made the cut.
