Why is this guy still here? He is blatantly advertising for DVD sales and the guy has no shame. He is not a sponsor and this is grounds for a permaban.

It contains about 20 seconds of looking at the taillights of a Mercedes, then 7 minutes of commercial for your DVDs

Don't waste your breath pretending otherwise.

605 hp/735lbs tq & 4900lbs cw/v-12 vs 469 hp/519lbs tq/v-8 & 4065lbs cw...is this really meant to be comparable? why not run a modded klee/rt stage 3/4 55-would not this be fairer v s65? by the way, i think the result of a similarly modded (stage 3) e60/m5, or e63, v e55 would unfair (actually, laughable) to the 55's advantage. the fastest stage 3/dinan e60, maybe runs 11.7 (nitrous 11.5). there are stage3/4 55's running low/mid 11's all day long. also, how many stock m5's, or e63's, have run sub 12 stock like the 55 has. love all these cars & mean no disrespect, but let's compare apples/apples.

I liked the video.. However I don't see how folks figure by showing this he's trying to promote his video. Or am I being naive?

I will admit that Gustav should start representing fair car runs in these videos. Modded AMG's against other modded marques and stock against stck or modded AMG's against some of the stck BMW's instead of most of the time the opposite way around(modded "M"'s vs Stck AMG's).

Gustav make sure we get to see a C63,SL63 in there or a CLK or SLK Blk series one day!

I still like the videos though whether I agree with them or not.

Is this whining comment ment to be a kompressor joke.


Its a comparison. It showed me how super quick the 65s are. We all know the 55 is a rocket but that 65 went ballistic and blew its doors off. And so it should!! It was just dudes having fun. They knew the winner before the flag dropped. Dont take it all too serious fellas. I have never seen a 65 at full noise so for me it was good vision.

Lets make a few things clear if I may:
M5board.com and about 4 other websites are owned by Gustav.
These are webforums that are supported by sponsorships and DVD sales. Posting videos on youtube with your link in it is an inexpensive way to get free advertising and exposure to your product or service, his own admission here:

If I show a video of my car and across the top of the video show a link to my jewelry website that would be blatantly against the rules as I dont sponsor this site. Gustav's continued use of deception in his posts specifically relative to advertising his products should no longer be tolerated by MBWorld or Internet Brands. MBworld is a business and its best interests need to be protected, I am confident the mods and admins will take expedient decisive action in this matter.

What exactly is the point of that video? Think everyone pretty much knew what the outcome is stock for stock.

65 vs 55 = duh!

CLK63 AMG Black Series is on my hotlist

Also, I think this was an interestign and fair comparison: stock vs stock to 180 mph.

Looks as if my/our words were heard loud and clear. I want to thank the admins and mods for taking this action. This shows a clear support for us as a community and your sponsors. Much appreciated.

I for one am glad Gustav posted the link to the video. I find these types of comparisons interesting...even if you could guess the results. However, I do understand the other issues surrounding sponsorship. I think as long as the "advertising" is contained in the video on youtube, it shouldn't preclude him from posting the link on this website....then again what the heck do I know...

If someone stands to directly gain monetary compensation for any post/link on a forum they should be a sponsor.

Only for permaban are drinks on the house. If I come out to bimmerfest I'll buy you a drink anyway. He gave me a permaban for a violation that I didnt even commit on his site!!!
