VIDEO: BMW M6 Hitting Limiter Effortessly

This comes from the " talk is cheap and a video is worth a thousand pictures schoool of thought"

This is a run we did Dec 12th with 3 people in the car. I was showing off the top end speed and stability to my friends.
Trust me you're gonna like this video.

(This video has to be on google because its currently the only service to allow >100mb uploads)

It was shot with the camcorder in the passenger headrest.

Hope you guys like ths video
Next video will be of the 996GT2 and M6


By the way , this stretch of road runs about 20+ miles .
Its a dual carriage way and the part we shot the video at has no cars visble for 10 miles in front of us
Opposing traffic runs on 2 totally different roads separated by trees and a huge divider

 

thanks for the feedback

 

Nope definetly not Ocean Pkway/LIE...

Obviously I cannot tell you where except that the road runs for over 20 miles and is virtually dead straight in both directions

 

Come on now..

I respect your opinion on this matter except for the the music blasting....Now thats no offense
This was not shot on the LIE by the way. That's technically impossible at any time of day to be done safely.

Well said...the M6 is very very capable at those speeds..very capable.

Of course you do or you wouldn't be driving that car

I take your opinion
The video just captures the run
We were not engaging in street racing and the music is not a distraction to driving
At the end of the video we were doing a demonstration of the breaking in preparation for the U-turn. the driving at this point is deliberatel aggressive on the breaks. My friend wanted to know how quickly and smoothly the cross drilled brakes work.

I have attended several drviving progrsmmes including the M school at Spartanburg south Carolina.

Your comments are fully understood by me though
Next time the music will be off and the road will be clearly empty ok.

No disrespect intended ok.

I appreciate all your comments though and thanks

 

It's in NYC guys

 

Will do...I always drive with some form of music on
Next time thoug we'll shoot with only the sound of the engine. NO MUSIC

 

Point taken. I understand what you are getting at really.
Thanks

 

The pulling power of the is insanely fast above 130 mph.
After the rpm of the M6 passes 5000rpm and with speeds above 130mph its simply a monster at pulling.
You can compare it with this video

I know alot of people have commented on the number of passengers
People are probably accostomed to these type of speeds and pulling power with regular 2 door spors cars
The M6 comfortably seats 4 people .
The car is brutally fast and my friend who has a 996Gt2 can attest to the pulling power above 130mph
This video in my opinion really clearly demonstrtates what a BMW M6 can do and remeber this...this car hit the speed limiter in 6th
delimited M6's in Europe are hitting 186mph in 6th
the car has 7 gears
look at the rpm in 6th when we hit the limiter. We were not ecven close to redline which is at
8250rpm
Thanks for your honest commenets

 

It sounds like you have raced an M6 before
How did you really find the top end speed from your perspective???
Seems like you pull hard in your car at the top end aswsell

 

Man I wish I had seen you when you still had that modded monster. I'm sure that you outright killed the M6 and M5 you raced form the sounds of your car.

I tend to keep all my cars stock except for the installed laser jammer.

Well we are having a meet this sunday with a bunch of modded cars. i would've asked you to join us but now you've sold the car. the link can be found here:

we will have a modded GT2 and modded Z06 along for the ride so it should be fun to seeon video
Thanks for the comments and enjoy the weekend

 

If you can make it ,these are the exact details

Final preparations appear to be complete

I have spoken to almost everyone concerned at it looks like a go.
We do have a location where we are going to safely do the shoot -

Just as variation on the videos though we will have the following in place ;

1-Only one passeneger in the cars doing the runs

2- Each car will have a walkie-talkie for communication to the run controller-so nobody will take a jump. We have 4 walkie talkies with a range of 10 miles each. Each car in the run will be in real time and continuos communication with the run -director.

3- The video will be shot from 2 view points.: One camera at the end of the run to record the finale and another car will serve as the chase car to record the run from start to finish. That way both running cars will be seen on the video

4-there will be no need for a camera man in any car- to keep the weight to a bear minimum

5-We have a professional camera man coming who will take shots of all the cars

So gentlemen get ready to start your engines.
Hopefully this will be the start of many

Just to let you all know though, there will be no:
1-Racing on any us roads
2- No aggressive street driving

The location of the exact shoot will be distributed to everyone at the meet up point. But let me assure you that there will be no other cars there.
Plenty of space to open up these cars and an ample braking zone
The meet up point remains the same

Long Island Expressway (L.I.E) Exit 26 and Francis Lewis Boulevard

Be there between 8am and 8:15am
time .
Timing is gonna be crucial on this.

Meet concludes at 11am

See you all tomorow.

So go fill up on gas, wash your cars and check your engine oil and lets get this vidoe shoot on

I'll give you a ride whenever you want.
There are going ot be some modified cars coming for the video shoot Sunday..Z06+ GT2+Modded M5

It should be fun

I can understand your reservations given the imminent sale of your 996TT.
I have PM'd you
Either way I'll post the video next week

Cheers
