Update: This was a BTG lap (Bridge to Gantry) which means the overall time is a bit over 8:20 minutes.
A stock BMW M135i with a “regular” driver ran Nürburgring Nordschleife in 8:05 minutes, same time as the E92 M3 and faster than the 1M Coupe. At 8:05, the M135i is faster than the Z4 M Coupe, E60 M5, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and Porsche Cayman S.
The M135i was stock with Michelin Pilot SuperSport tires and a 6-speed manual transmission.
