Last night on the Nürburgring webcams I noticed a group of BMWs at the TF gates. Turns out it was an ‘M Festival’ promo event announcing plans to return the new BMW M5 to Ring-Taxi duties in 2012.

Currently the M3 sedan is being used for Ring-Taxi rides, filling the void between the end of the E60 M5 production and the introduction of the F10 M5.

As of last week there weren’t any places left for M3 Ring-Taxi bookings, however BMW has since found a few more tickets in the back of the couch and will open for new sales and bookings on Monday.
