Yeah nice find epj3.

I must say though, I don't find the sound of the V10 as intoxicating as a big BMW I6, V12, or V8... But then again, they're all fantastic sounding engines. I do appreciate the new M5's engine though. I've seen the workmanship and attention to detail on it and I have no doubt that it's a phenomenal powerplant. It just sounds, well, a bit dull to me... Maybe I'm the only one though.

Chesty, I've thought the engine sounds a bit funny too. It's not really a full-out throaty growl, but more like a short, higher-pitched growl that's kind of suffocated. I don't really know how to put it other than I've noticed it doesn't quite sound as big as the engine is. But I wouldn't have a problem with it in the least [burnout]

Its too bad the guy driving the M3 didn't try to chase him. It would have been nice to see how the M3 kept up.

Does this link still work? I've tried it about 3-4 times, and it won't work. Windows Media Player opens, but no video. Running a fast DSL connection, so even if the vid is large, shouldn't be a problem. Really, really want to see this.

Was blank for the first couple secs the first time I saw it too. You may just have to pause it, then hit play again, and do it a couple of times, fiddle with it.... [scratch]

Thanks for all the responses. Downloaded it, tried multiple media players.... I can hear the sound, but the video is just a bunch of holograms and psychidelic (sp?) images.

Scheiße

Same here, but I followed Tom's advice and Realplayer works. Windows Media Player would not show the video. Thanks Tom!

Meadia player worked for me, you probably just need the latests codecs and what not, you can just upgrade it to the latest one, thats it.

Yep, I had trouble opening it, and I am 99% computer illiterate, at least compared to people on this board. I saved it to my computer and opened it with RealPlayer and I saw it...oh did I see it!

MMMMMM...Good!
