An Australian view on the Nürburgring Nordschleife

BMW Ring-Taxi from the passenger’s seat

June 7th, 2009 Posted in BMW, Sabine Schmitz, Video



Thanks to AUSringers reader Ryan for sending in this clip of his BMW Ring-Taxi experience. Ryan and his wife, in Europe on their honeymoon, were lucky enough to have Sabine Schmitz as their tour guide.

You’ll have to forgive Ryan’s camera work, as I’m sure you can imagine holding the camera still while Sabine exploits every one of the BMW M5’s 507 horsepower would be nigh on impossible!

For more on the BMW Ring-Taxi check out the BMW Motorsport website or watch the YouTube clip after the jump.

    Ryan, that looks like a pearler of a lap!

    Its amazing the difference it seems to make in the dry. When I went it was 1st lap out on a damp morning and there was nowhere near the tire noise in the cabin.

    Hope you had a ball!

    Well Done Ryan… great footage.

    A handheld camera sure emphasises the bumps and undulations of the Nordschleife. It could be a good arm exercise!

    Speed Safely!
