Impressive, very impressive!

At last a use for two Euro coins (other than laughing at the fact that certain Nordic countries look like a set of genitals)

Had to check this out for myself. And by god!!! At last I see a reason for joining the Euro!

now thats one well balenced engine!

Thats exactly what I was thinking.  

But you know, for me-I like to feel my car shake some when I start it.  Reminds me that it has some power.

Mine shakes,too,but this is no indication for power (55hp).

Check out what this guy (the same one of the first video) does with his car on the autobahn

Could'nt agree more SaVas, excellent cars that the new 7,6 & 5 series undoubtedly are, I can't say I agree with the looks.

Looks apart, I'd love one of the new "e60" M5's - 507BHP from a V10 motor! Bad looks or not, I'd love one of those.....

I hear Mr Bangle is soon to depart BMW, lets hope so eh?

i do like a bit of engine and driving feel when i opperate a vehicle

Mine shakes, jerks, rumbels and spews exhaust fumes from at least four different places. Including directly under the passenger seat.
Aah, just a shame it isn't road legal...  

They should try that on my little dieselengine... coins flying in a mile wide radius. make that 2 while starting the engine... a mighty 68 HP 1.7 TD....  ;D

At least it keeps you clear of bugs...

That is impressive! Not even my Honda Insight can do something like that (even though you can't feel a single vibration or hear a sound during the startup of the tiny engine). But I bet my mileage is 6X better than his
