Hotlap in the new F90 M5 during Daytona Rolex 24

That safety car setup with lowered suspension, sill extensions etc looks legit.

LOL on bigger gas tank than M3 - the F80 is one thirsty beast when tracking!!!

The one time I was at Buttonwillow at the same time as a guy with a stock F10 M5, he set a quicker lap time than every E9x or F8x M3/M4 that was there that day and there were quite a few of us.

It's hard to judge from videos like this but the F90 M5 looks extremely agile and flat considering its size, weight, and the number of people and cell phones riding in it.

And come to think of it - I was at a BMW NA track/autocross event - the single F10 M5 was faster on autocross than every E9x and F8x there (that had to be due to F10 having more experienced driver - but at least it shows that the M5 can compete with a properly trained/experienced driver).

Does anyone else not see the reflection in the rear view mirror and think "You owe me a ten second car"?

Looks fun. But no helmets? Blown tire on the oval at those speeds would not be cool.

Lots of interesting comments about the hot lap at Daytona.

Here's a video of one lap we shot during the weekend. Enjoy!
