The 2012 BMW 1M Coupe really is on top of the world these days, isn't it?

Days after the car was featured on the pilot episode of the new season of Top Gear->ke1860, BMW's high-powered 1M found itself on top of one of the tallest buildings in America: the U.S. Bank Tower in Los Angeles. More important than that, the U.S. Bank Tower stands 1,018 feet tall and is considered as the tallest building in the world with a helipad on it.

So what exactly is the 1M Coupe doing on the helipad of this skyscraper?

Well, there's awesome and then there's awesome. This video of the 1M Coupe performing an arc drift on top of the world's tallest helipad certainly qualifies for the latter. Kind of makes that previous video of the sports car drifting through walls look like child's play, doesn't it? Either way, the whole video certainly speaks for itself.

Reminder: The BMW 1M Coupe is powered by a new twin-turbocharged, all-aluminum, 3.0-liter inline-6 engine that delivers an impressive 335 HP at 5,900 rpm and 332 lb-ft of torque from 1,500 rpm to 4,500 rpm. It has a sprint time from 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and a electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. The standing quarter-mile mark comes up in 13.2 seconds.
