Unfortunately I own just a diesel F10 184hp but I can have fun with my Duc 848, as the whole video shows!

Sorry, should have been more clear. In lap times...
I could be reading this wrong, but how I see it: the M5 does this about 5 seconds quicker? Quote:

5 seconds is a pretty large margin. That being said the 640d isn't slow at all.

5 seconds is a huge margin when total track times are in the 1-2 min range. |

especially considering the m5 is heavier too, isnt it? and was only 1.7ish seconds behind a supercar that weighing like 1000lbs less!!! and costs twice as much? |

I feel like the M5 could be a bit faster, I mean it has over 240 more hp, superior suspension, tires, gearbox etc. If it were a 650i, that margin would have been uncomfortably close. Wonder if he did his fast lap time drifting

Have you been to India lately ?
The inner city roads are still pretty bad. But most of their toll roads are amazing !!!
