A Russian man has stunned social media by burying a high-value BMW X6 in a deep pit and encasing it in concrete, an act captured in a viral video that has sparked widespread debate.
The luxury SUV, valued at around $125,000, was lowered into the excavated hole before concrete was poured over it, fully sealing the vehicle underground. The stunt appears to be a deliberate destruction for shock value, similar to other extreme content from Russian creators who regularly feature costly vehicles in outrageous challenges.
No clear motive has been confirmed, though speculation ranges from a publicity ploy or personal grudge to simply chasing online attention.
The video has drawn criticism for the waste of an expensive car amid economic pressures in many regions.
As of February 2026, the incident remains unverified by official sources, with discussions online questioning if it’s staged or real, but the footage continues to circulate rapidly across platforms.
