Finding your daily commute dry and boring? Stuck driving at low speeds when all you want to do is tear up the roads at 300 km/h? From today – April 1 – you can order your BMW with what the company calls a Force Injection Booster (FIB), which simulates the effect of spirited driving even at slow speeds.

Activated under speeds of 20 mph (32 km/h), FIB extracts the kinetic energy created by the engine and converts it into positive g-forces. These forces are then channeled directly to the driver and passengers through the air-conditioning vents.

A mild electric current running through the front seats accentuates the feeling of exhilaration, while BMW's AirNet® hair protection system ensures that you can enjoy the benefits of FIB without ruining your carefully-coiffed hairstyle.

Head of BMW innovation Professor Mika Notbetrü described the technology as "mind-blowingly unbelievable". BMW said that Force Injection Booster will "change the face of motoring", but smartly added that face alteration caused by the technology is not permanent.
