Sure it was tested on the ring but of course the reason is that they need to make sure it can hold up even in the most extreme situation. It wasn't tested on the ring with intentions of it actually being a track car.
I never said that it is a dedicated track car, I just said that due to the fact that they know 99% of people won't track it, they take a different approach when advertising it. You misunderstood me, obviously I know that a 4100lb, 190+ inch long sedan isn't supposed to be a track car lol.

M5Board is a very small percentage of M5 owners though, and on top of that I doubt all of the users on M5 board actually track their M5, they may just like modding it. I still stand by my claim that 99% of M5 owners don't track them.
