Ring Taxi F10 M5

So i was doing some research, and read that they replaced the e60 m5 ring taxi every 7000kms. I was wondering how many kms they keep the F10 M5 ring taxis for? I also wanted to know the suspension, steering, and throttle settings they used while on the ring? If anyone knows the answers, this would be great help.

I believe they change the cars once a year.

2012 M5 Ring Taxis had licence plates between M YZ 5780 - M YZ 5789
2013 M5 Ring Taxis have licence plate numbers like M KV 8571

(M in the plate meaning the car is registered in Munich)

7000 kms would only be 350 laps or a few months time. Replacement is more likely needed from suspension wear than the motor due to the nature of the track.

I do know the last Performance Center E60 M5s were kept nearly 3 years and did M Schools and daily hot laps to the end. No worries about running them hard.

Any ideas if they keep the suspensions on comfort due to the nature of the track?
