oh thats horrifying, that the M5 was modded. Gustav its likely because you were linking the video to DVD sales. You can post videos that do not promote or sell items from your website. I am guessing, maybe a MOD would like to explain this.

I think Gustav would allow video on his site as long as it was placed in the correct forum. So an A** whooping of an M5 is in the M5 forum and so on and so forth. I think Gustav warning from the Mods here is because he is attempting to sell DVD w/o sponsoring the website

Do you really think the races are "fake"? Like fake as in the sense the drivers of the other cars are letting the bimmers walk em? or fake in the sense they are not standard comparisons

Have you ever wondered why Gustav invites MBs to races but never posts anything where an MB won in a fair comparisson. Case in point his vid; Alpina vs AMG. Why not M vs AMG of the same MY. Why not Brabus, Renntech, etc. He will always have an excuse of some sort. Not wanting to take sides here, but improviz has pointed out these observations in the past: stack the deck and go trolling. That seems to be his M.O. Look at gustav's posts and the date stamp thereof. Notice the gap. Ever wonder what happened pre; we know whats happening post.

This bit has me confused. Not sure what you're saying.

Agree with the sentiment of your post though. One recent example was the video he had of an RS4 vs a *modded* E39 M5. Not only was it modded but it was from a roll.

From a dig or around a track the outcome would have been very different, and this is coming from an ex E39 M5 owner.

Gustav, Great videos! (even if the MB lost ) I am amazed at the collection of cars that showed up. I can't wait to see the Ruf and the Atom run. I would expect the atom to walk away early on from most then get reeled in at the end due to poor aero and gearing.

At the old video of the Kleeman car vs. the M6. Kleeman did say they got reeled in by the M6. It wasn't staged for them to loose. This was due to low tire pressures and gearing. They also said that they prepared the car to run from a dig (which never happened due to the M drivers not wanting to abuse their clutches)

At the end of the day someone needs to organize a similar event in the states. It will be very interesting to see the US M cars against the US AMG's. We all know that the gearing plays a huge role in a rolling start at 50kmh. This obviously favors the M cars.

the start of all his videos tells it all. "m5board.com".... now if it's start with something like "caranddriver.com", than its something i can live with.

stock CLS55 vs. m5 coming soon... i've been trying to get my friends m5 out, so we can race eachother and get it on video.
