I highly doubt with the extra weight he could reach a true 155, a forum member who ran a 2:06.6 peaked out at about 149-150 on the back straight |

I did a full M day at the Spartanburg plant with BMW CCA.
Me, and my fellow incompetencia, spent all day thrashing M3s, M4s and M5s in several different go-as-fast-as-you-dare scenarios. We thought we were effing heroes... heroes with shoulder-belt shaped bruises across our chests by the end of the day. The capper at the end of the day was a ride around the full race track for a couple of laps with an instructor at the wheel. Holy sh**. You can't believe what these cars are capable of in street trim, on street tires, with 3 passengers and a competent driver at the wheel. Hopefully somebody captured the video you requested. Don't be surprised by what you see. The capabilities of these cars are amazing.
