Not every take can be a masterpiece... πŸ˜‚

After sharing the finished BMW XM walkaround, it's only fair we show you what happened behind the scenes.

Here's a collection of the laughs, restarts and unexpected moments from our work experience students' filming day. πŸŽ₯

We think they smashed it – even if it took a few takes to get there! πŸ‘

Let us know your favourite blooper below. πŸ‘‡

Work experience challenge accepted!

We handed the keys to an Approved Used BMW XM to our work experience students and asked them to create a walkaround video.

From planning the shots to presenting on camera, they took on the challenge with confidence and did a fantastic job showcasing one of the most striking models in the BMW range.

A great effort from both of them, and a brilliant way to gain hands-on experience in the automotive industry. πŸ‘

Of course, there were a few outtakes along the way... πŸ‘€ Keep an eye on our page for the blooper reel coming soon! 🎬
