[klier]

Reminds me bit of Sepang Bronze, but that one was better.

I checked the article in Sportscars, the car indeed managed that sensational time around the Sachsenring on normal P Zero tyres. So this is the fastest car around that track with road tyres (2nd is the 991.2 Turbo S with the same P Zeros at 1:32.30 min - 0.5 sec behind the M8 Competition)... :O

This must be only the second time in which a BMW is faster than a comparable Porsche (the first time it was the E46 M3 CSL and the Porsche 996 GT3).

But remember, back then GT3s were not on semi-slicks, only 'regular' Pilot Sports. While the CSL had the first-gen, ultra-harcore Cup tyres.

That is insane the must have done some work on the chassis of the M8 bodes well for the M8GC vs GT63S. That is sportcar performance.

Now imagine if it would be a bit lighter...

Yes! And imagine, what had happened, if ///M had been allowed to use their very own platform (like AMG does with the GT), with either transaxle or midengine layout? If they are able to tweak a BMW base model in such a way, that it beats a Lamborghini Aventador LP-750-4 SV on semis with vanilla PZeros ...
TBH: After hearing all the talk by BMW about the upcoming M8 (911 Turbo competitor and all the blablabla)... and after seeing the base platform 840/M850 - their size and weight - I never expected them to churn out such performance numbers! I am happy, that I am impressed now (as a BMW fanboy ).

BMW are capable of building a supercar outside of Porsche they are generally the sportier brand of the Germans, but there’s no business case, it should have happened 10 years ago but it’s too late now it’s all about BEVs.The M8 is as good as it gets.

BMW have backtracked on every single reason they used to claim they were a "sporty brand". Just shows the marketing works on gullible people.

Hands Down one of the best comedy sketches ever. And Rick James..."What did the five fingers say to the face?.......wh-hat?........SLAP!!!

Seriously though Prince was a BMW fan and did have BMW's that were commisioned by BMW Individual to his requirements. I remember a vivid purple And yellow E31 850CSi which you can see in the Sexy MF video.
