Impressive time, considering the conditions... Seems to be quite easy

Said to be a bone stock car with Michelin Supersport tires, 6-speed manual.

That track is rather slippery when wet, and you can tell that the driver is holding back in all the scary places. The time will be significantly better in the dry.

vladberca · 11-29-2012, 05:23 AM

Same time as BMW M3 420PS /1608 Kg (sport auto 12/07) and BMW M5 560 PS/ 1963 Kg (sport auto 09/12).
BMW best time: M3 GTS 7:48, 450PS/ 1546Kg (sport auto 08/10).

vladberca · 11-29-2012, 05:28 AM

Rivals numbers:
Audi TT RS 340PS/1483 Kg did it in 8:09 (sport auto 10/02);
Porsche Cayman R 330PS/ 1385 Kg did it in 8:10 (sport auto 10/10).

You are comparing apples and oranges now. The M135i only ran bridge to gantry, not a complete lap.

vladberca · 11-29-2012, 07:51 AM

Now I've seen that it completed the North Loop of Nurburgring...
Still curious to see the time for the entire lap, completed by some pro drivers

I think that will also be around 8 minutes. The M3 CSL did it in 7:50 on Sport Cup tires with 360 hp.

I thought the M5 did it in 7:55

Subnasty · 11-29-2012, 12:53 PM

i f*cking love that sound!

ozinaldo · 11-30-2012, 11:55 AM

Add 20-25 sec. to BTG time and you have a full lap. Like on other tracks (check fastest laps site, narrow it down for M135i for Hockenheim Short etc.), it will be significantly faster than an E82 135i but a bit slower than a E92 M3 or E82 1M, as expected.

curly · 11-30-2012, 04:39 PM

That was a good effort for the conditions,I think he could take another 10 seconds off that if it was dry

I think he could take more. With a very good driver, I am guessing a complete lap in 8:00 minutes, plus/minus 5 seconds.

rickk · 11-30-2012, 05:07 PM

Particularly impressive to see how stable the car is with that BTG, just looks like a nice and easy drive!

BMW PR representative Dave Buchko neither confirmed or denied the time, stating that it, “is not an official time, so I’m afraid I’m not in a position to provide confirmation.”

I hope we get it in the US, in a coupe package.

Those are the 3 new cars on my radar.

CPO 2013 Cayman (new design)

2014 M235i coupe (new coupe)

2014 Audi TTS (new design)

Not fond of the way this thing looks but, with an LSD, BMW Perf suspension, proper tires and a tune, this thing could be a monster.

If the rumored M2 coupe exists and, actually is a turbo 4, I doubt this package would make it to American shores.

Rich@GTBPerformance · 12-10-2012, 03:53 PM

Awesome video and impressive time for a damn track!

stylinexpat · 12-10-2012, 09:21 PM

Love the sound of that 6 inline Turbo

soolman32 · 12-10-2012, 11:00 PM

Not bad. I do like the sound of it.

kotik · 12-11-2012, 06:01 AM

sorry, but i just have hard time believing this is a stock car.. My m3 has a lot more body roll than this. This guy does have a lot of balls to push it like that in damp weather, I've seen way too many accidents to risk my baby like that. I have 600hp M3, with NT01's, and I turn around 8 flat, and trust me, it looks a lot more dramatic than this (stock EDC).
