Found this video on M5Board.

Not a lot in it!

Edited to add pretty skilled drivers..

Doesnt sound like an E60. Sounds more like another F10.

(however, i can see the reflection of some E60 trim in the window).

[joscal]

Maybe you are used to your exhaust Eddie?

Maybe, but it still sounds more like the E9X V8 to me.

[StuH]

Sounds like my e60!

Wish I could drive mine like that though - superb skills.

Sounds exactly like the S85 V10!

[Charliecloud]

Shame they didn't have the HUD on!

Was passenger side video.

[Contigo]

Probably did but can't see it as not in drivers line of sight.

could be your exhaust changes the tone and you are used to it but even the blip downchange is there too. The driver is excellent and knows the track like the back of his hand. The last few corners where he is drifting for the crowds on the grass and then gets onto the gas to chase the ring taxi are really impressive as the power is put down to smoothly.

[ecain63]

Yeah, its a possibility, although i wouldnt say my exhaust has changed the tone, only the volume. This is mine, in comparison.

Yep sounds more raspy does yours. Nice sound. I am tempted to have the silencers deleted on mine.

I have silencer delete on mine... sounds great in the car, not too loud on the move in the car.... but be-warned it is very loud outside the car and can drum on idle.

My local polish car cleaners insist I turn the engine off when I have my car washed as its so loud for them on idle... fortunately I live in the country and don't have neighbours to complain

[DeanR32]

Any sound clip Andy?

[Cheburator mk2]

Definitely an E60 M5

Great skill and pace... Boy, does the F10 shift on the uphill sections...

[phelix]

That video reminds me why I don't do public days at the ring any more. Scything through slower traffic like that is a recipe for a crash. Fun to watch though!

[s62]

Damn these cars are fast - they overtook an E30 going up Kesselchen!!!!
