So, what--did he just punch the nitrous from the start?

Seen it many times, it's turbo'd. Supposedly makes over 1000 hp from a 3.8 M motor. Did you guys read the comments underneath? It's good for a laugh, what a bunch of morons. Here's my favorite:

"That’s an old school E34 M5. That car is fast stock with a 4.8 liter inline six.. It sounded like it had a supercharger and I am sure it has a built engine. I am a bimmer nut and that car throughly impressed me. "

I love it when people claim themselves as an authority on a topic, then are totally wrong.

I don't think it has nitrous. It is (was) turbo'd and made over 1000rwhp. In another video he floats the valves and cooks the engine.

Thanks. He seemed to get so much from the start. I didn't know "turbo" could do that. I thought that you had to be going fast already to feel the effects. Oh, well...learn something new everyday!

So is that 253 MPH at the end? KPH?

Probably uses an anti lag system.

8.83 seconds!!!

Unbelievable. Can someone do a little math and tell us how many G of acceleration that is (1G = 32ft/sec/sec or 9.8m/sec/sec)?

Looks like he has a 'chute, though we never see it deploy.

That is , fast. That car is probably an E34 is outward appearance only. Sick.
