Yeah TS, translate it, here's the link for us who can't use Google Video: http://www.e34-berlin.de/dls/BMWX5.avi (I hope it's the same video)

I might try to translate it myself this afternoon if needed and if I feel like it, should be a good exercise....

Summary:
this thing apparently broke the lap record of the Nordschleife on the Nürburgring with a lap time of 07:59min. Before that, it was deemed impossible to make it under 8 minutes on that circuit at all. It's got a V12 with 700hp, the suspension was lowered by 30mm, it still has the stock 6-speed gearbox and full interior trim, weight is about 2 tons.
