It's worth reminding everyone that "DUI" doesn't mean drunk. It's a legal definition that is not directly correlated with impairment for any particular individual, and is a definition largely based on the activities of a specific, and fairly narrow, subset of zero-tolerance pressure groups. Further, at 10:45 p.m. I'm not certain how impaired this guy might actually have been. That's pretty early, at least in these parts.
That being said, arresting this man on the simple grounds of aesthetic offense would strike me as supremely defensible. A night in jail might go far towards improving his sense of style. #stupidcriminals
Neck lanyard for key chain? Nice.
Livestrong bracelet? Mmmm kay.
Having to take a Breathalyzer while dressed as a Breathalyzer? Oh the sweet irony... #stupidcriminals
I especially like the fact that the PD was going along with the Halloween spirit by lighting him up in a creepy fashion from the side/bottom. #stupidcriminals

While not defending the X5 driver in any way, my wife used to do something remotely similar while parking that she said she learned in Driver's Ed. She said the Instructor told them that the car turns sharper under power (because of the differential), so a little gas right at the end of the parking maneuver will help get your big-ass SUV squarely in the too-tiny parking spot easier. The first few times she did this, I nearly jumped out the window, fearing something exactly like this was about to happen. When she told me why she did it, I said, "Forget everything that guy taught you, and don't ever do that again".
Was this video filmed in Scottsdale, AZ? If it was I think we can find one of the culprits. #bmwx5

In any case, looks like he was trying to find a clever way to get out of the Elephant Walk. Good luck with that. #stupidcriminals

Although, by looking at him, I'd say the family tree is a bamboo shoot, so sis probably has one on the way....
