The BMW M Cars Test Drive premieres on SPEED Channel

FYI:

Watch the masters harness the power of the M.

If you're a driving enthusiast with an appreciation of power and performance, SPEED Channel's BMW M Cars Test Drive is one special you won't want to miss.

Watch as host Tommy Kendall gets behind the wheel of the M5, M6, Z4 M Coupe and Z4 M Roadster with highly-skilled racecar drivers and automotive experts.

The explosive power of an M has never been a secret. But when it's placed in the hands of these masters, it's as if you're seeing it for the first time.

The BMW M Cars Test Drive premieres Sunday, June 18th at 1pm EST.

Encore presentations June 19 @ 3pm, June 24 @ 3pm, July 1 @ 10 pm

Re: The BMW M Cars Test Drive premieres on SPEED Channel

Found the first part of the segment. An M6 being followed by a Z4 on the Autobahn. M6 driven by Hans Stuck. You need Quicktime 7 and some patience in the beginning.

These cars are just absolutely beautiful, I love all of them. It's amazing how fast he braked from 190 to just 90 mph. More videos to come hopefully

Warot, the link isn't working!

Didn't they do the same with the AMG cars (CLS55, SL55, SL65, E55 and that orange CLK63 test mule. Marcus posted a video of it here)?

I missed it, even though they aired it again a couple of times. I'll just wait for them to add it to the Speed Channel On Demand where I can play it whenever I want. If you have Time Warner Cable, it's channel 1026.

Yaz, you need to get Quicktime 7! Do it man, it's worth it

Matt, the guy uploading the video will probably get the other parts later. I don't personally know him, just got the link from E90post. Until then, enjoy the other videos he has up, hehe.

I do have Quicktime 7, but it still doesn't work for me. I wonder if I'm the only one having this problem.

Anyway, I just watched the whole thing on the Speed Channel On Demand. I really hope some of you have that channel on your cable service. You can watch it all day long if you want. If only I had all the software and hardware to record it from my cable box. I'm sure it will be up on the internet soon though.

This is a must watch for all BMW fans, it's just amazing. That guy doing 194MPH in an M6 and stopping it in no time for the traffic ahead was crazy. The drive up the hill on that twisty road was just lovely!

Best line they used: "The M Cars from BMW. The ultimate driving machine, to the Nth degree."
