 | M3 Nurburgring lap time = 7:57 Yes they did it. Straight from the mouth of M boss, Richter. He claims the car is 25 seconds faster than the last M3. The Sportauto (which is "official" in most folks books) time for the E46 M3 was 8:22, so 8:22 - 0:25 = 7:57. Link to the original Richter video here (from the launch in Australia - click on "M3 Webcast" then the quote is in the 2nd video). Way to go BMW breaking the 8 minute barrier. It is a supercar!

P.S. Admin - please add "M3" to the begingin of my post title, thanks. |

 | Re: M3 Nurburgring lap time = 7:57 Nice!! but for comparison with other cars I use Sportauto times. Rumour has it sportauto did it in 8,03 min.

| Re: M3 Nurburgring lap time = 7:57 Still puts it slightly higher then the F430/Turbo... so it's not so bad for a "non-hardcore" version of the M3. I suppose the new Nissan GT-R will be in this category as well.

| Re: M3 Nurburgring lap time = 7:57 i dont think this is a sport auto time.. my sources say 8:12 done by sport auto.. mind that the car doesent have R tires.. so 8:12 is very good
