@apathy
I understand, but ive seen lots of performance specs wich were even worse in comparing to the factory specs. So do they also change the specs if it is worse?

Dude bmw has a launch control. So it depends on the driver how fast he accelerates. The launch control is something like a special boost or I call it sport modus.

Prof.,

If a magazine or other publication records a faster time than the MFR, then the MFR time is replaced with the quicker time.

incorrect compairing to the specs of the factory.

Following my own exploration, billions of people in the world receive the personal loans at good creditors. Thence, there's great possibilities to get a short term loan in every country.

So they claim to have gone 4 seconds faster than the Panamera Turbo around Nordschleife?

I find that hard to believe, but I guess anything is possible given the right conditions and driver. Then again, Walter Rohrl set the Porsche's time. Something stinks, but I could be wrong. They don't exactly have any reason to fudge their results though.

"As the most powerful BMW M5....it did 7:52....around the Nordschleife"
And even Prof. Burkhard Göschel was a little flabbergasted.

BMW M5 time is 7:52. around the Nordschleife.

I've added a time for the Nordschleife, here: http://www.rhein-main.net/sixcms/detail.php/5rmn01.c.1879435.de?topic_id=731907 .
The time is 7:52.

sorry guys...this question is completely off topic...why ppl say that today is the 25th aniversary of bmw?

it's not fast than C 63 amg says that even if BMW is faster on 0-200, a contradiction says a quarter of a mile which is the same in both, but in reality is faster and not even a little
