83-year-old Elisa Forti wants to conquer the treacherous Aconcagua Mountain, the highest mountain in the Americas. Elisa, who has already crossed the Andes twice, was born in Italy but moved with her family to Argentina when she was 14 years old. She has a large family with five children, eleven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Known as the 'mountain of death,' Aconcagua will be far and away her biggest challenge yet.
Tightrope walking may be one of the oldest acrobatic practices, but one of the youngest practitioners of the art has become spectacularly good at it. 6-year-old Zhang Wang started working on his balancing act about a year ago when his dad came up with the idea to train his little son as an acrobat in order to build his self-confidence and independence. Zhang wang took to tightrope walking, or funambulism as it is sometimes called, like a fish to water and can now balance his way across a wire backward and even blindfolded.

This was followed by more testing over the course of 2022, both at other BMW Group test facilities and in everyday driving in and around Munich as well as in the vicinity of BMW Group Plant Dingolfing. The task here was to continue refining the car’s chassis technology and acoustic properties under a wide variety of conditions, as well as honing the drive unit’s power delivery, in order to produce a well-resolved driving experience at all times.Here again, part of the development work was deliberately carried out during the colder months on icy and snowy roads in the Alpine foothills. This last winter, BMW i5 prototypes – now sporting less camouflage and near-production headlights – were regularly sent out for testing to verify the functionality and reliability of their powertrain and chassis control systems in extremely demanding road and weather conditions. The BMW engineers involved in the vehicle project were able to directly inspect the current state of development through testing in the BMW brand’s native Bavaria before it was time to return to endurance testing near the Arctic Circle in February 2023.
