Is this speeded up? - The first launch especially!  :o :o :o

I've driven an e39 M5 and, by God! it is fast, but, I nearly fell off my chair when I first saw the first "launch" from the e60 V10 M5 thats in this clip!!!

If only I had the money to buy the car, never mind to be able to run & afford such tyre shredding....

Ahh, fond memories of Knight Rider.....  ;D



Edit: I've just found the new forum "Video's" section! Where the hell did that come from?  :-[

Mods, sorry & please move, ta.  :)

The E60 is a fast car, but I am pretty darn sure the timing of the first launch has been sped up a bit.



Not sure about the launch, but when he comes back and turns around, I would say that was sped up.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Great, why do the (Belgian) morrons get to drive such a car, and not me?  ;D

Because life is out to kick you in the fork at every opportunity it has ;D

Omag, if it was a Dutch guy in the video, I would be muttering something about bicycles, rigid speed limits and me living mext to an Autobahn ;D
