Sorry for the bad quality, but that's all we could get. Second run you see my car jump ahead and then pull back. MDM kicked in and pulled the car back.

Also a very good case for the PDK. Although the TT did not see it until 2010. The Tiptronic was a dog too. I drove one for a few nights and was thinking of trading my wife's X5 for it and letting her drive the M5 but I could not get over how much faster my M5 felt and how slow that thing shifted. Took it back to the dealer (BMW dealer had it) and bought the F12 M6 on a whim right then and there! Gave her a nice surprise by calling her up and saying "come pick up your new M6."

These M cars are just hard to beat. Loved her M6 so much that I ordered one for myself! People really underestimate them. When you test drive things like the 991 S cars, you are left with a weird feeling "where is the power". M has set the bar pretty high. As an owner it is hard to trade "up"-especially in the $100k range. Not much put there that tops it!

He was trying to cheer him up. The driver is a good guy and he takes pride in his car. Definitely did not expect 4400 lb whale to pull on him.
You cant see the rolling start race, but we were dead even for about a second and then my car just shot forward. Amazing what transmissions can do nowadays.
