I wish some of the members would give the current M5's some track cred. Sure its a family sedan but the M3/4 and M4GTS aren't much quicker.
I don't see any E63 AMG's turning the Nurburgring in 7:55 nor many other cars for that matter. The only big 4 door that beat it was a Porsche Panamera. No big Merc's or Audi's only the M5. Look it up.
And it if you wish to take three of your friends along you can still do it in
8:22:49
Nothing to be ashamed of with our cars.
