On Estoril, Max Ahme, responsible for the chassis development at BMW M GmbH, said: With Competition Package, the M5 is 10 seconds faster on the Nordschleife (of the Nürburgring) This would mean the lap time dropped from 7 minute 55 to 7: 45.

There are no recorded times known for F13 M6 Comp Package around the Ring. But one can guess it would be a solid 10 seconds faster than 7:44 BTG. Putting it at, at least 7:34 BTG.

The rumor started during a press event. It was never backed up by any data. When BMW were asked to confirm the 7:55 they responded that they don't quote lap times. There's no video and no data. BMW won't publish or even verbally confirm... you decide.



The ONLY way to know what the M6 comp will do is to test. I'd bet a grand or so it's not 10 sec faster BTG than the non comp. The F10 comp was 0.1 sec faster than the non-comp at Hockenheim short.



The M6 non comp was 0.3 sec slower than the M5 non comp at Hoeckheim short. THE M6 COMP WAS 0.4 sec SLOWER THAN THE M6 NON COMP at Hockenheim short.



My point is that you can't assume, you have to test. And the results aren't always what you would've predicted, and that the only reliable full ring time for the M5/6 that I know of is the 8:0x by sport auto. The forum posts, autoblog, and other sites were all driven by the same rumor.The rumor started during a press event. It was never backed up by any data.
