Check out the cool superimposed track map, speed, and G-force displays.

The taxi ride was a gift from a son for his dad's 65th birthday and the driver was Walter Haup, an M5 taxi driver and instructor for M driver training programs.

The lap time isn't nearly what the F10 M5 is capable of as the point of M5 taxi rides is not to achieve the best time possible, but the fastest Nurburgring lap time officially listed for the F10M is 7:55 (lap time list).







Video of the M5 taxi from the outside (during testing, prior to service).

One of the things I must do before I die !!!
I did last September and finished there breaking of my F10 520d. She is not a M5 but the Ring is amazing whatever car you drive!

For those of you with the Ring on your bucket list you better get moving, per the Wall Sreet Journal seems VW is looking to buy the track out of bankruptcy and make it a private test track, with limited public events.
