There are no official tests to test how rapid is the newly unveiled 2015 BMW X6 M on the track, but according to Auto Sport, the model is considered as fast as the E92 BMW M3.

The conclusions were reached after the 2015 BMW X6 M has run over 8,000 kilometers on the Nurburgring, which makes it equal to the BMW E92 M3.

The 2015 BMW X6 M thus run the Nurburgring-Nordschleife in a good 8:24 minutes, while the E92 M3 managed 8:04 minutes, which will make the F86 X6 M 20 seconds faster than the previous model.

The performance is also due to the SUVs weight, as Herbert Bayerl, the project manager at BMW, states that the 2015 BMW X6 M is just 2,275 kg, which would easy compete the lighter E92 M3, with its 1,700 kilos.

The record lap held at Nurburgring belongs however to the Range Rover Sport SVR, running 8:14 minutes, a good timing which BMW says it managed to overcome it many times.

A one-off BMW M3 Alpine White has recently hit the web with the exclusive sports car wearing some cool forged wheels from the ADV.1 wheel tuning.

The combination between the Alpine White finish and the ADV15 MV.2 wheels looks quite appealing, making the model perfect and fit for any road or track races.

The BMW M3`s MV.2 wheels are coming in some interesting sizes as well, meaning 20×8.5 in the front, while at the rear, the wheels are larger, measuring 20×11.

The ADV15 MV.2 wheels are finished in a special customized color named Manbronze, featuring a light darker bronze hue which also gives the Alpine White finish an amazing contrast.

The ADV15 MV.2 are perfect for the BMW E92 M3 both on the road as well as on the track, as the sports car has an astonishing maneuverability, especially now since the model has been tweaked with a fresh new engine.

We are talking here about the BMW S65 V8 engine, which develops a great total output of 414 horsepower at 8.300 rpm and 400 Nm of torque at 3.900 rpm, hooked at a six-speed manual transmission coming as standard.

Junior Strous, a well-known GT racer uploaded on his YouTube account a footage while driving a modified E92 M3 on the Spa Francorchamps in Belgium. The onboard video shot with a GoPro HD camera offers a very interesting view of the track.

The video in question is largely a raw one, making you feel every corner and every revving of the engine. The best laptime achieved by the Dutch race driver on the Spa Francorchamps track is 3:04:962 but watching the video and enjoying the sound of the engine makes these kind of figures irrelevant.

The BMW E92 M3 used by Junior Strous received a set of modifications that should be note. From the list we can enumerate the fully loaded zip tuning chip mod, a high performance braking system, a brake duct cooling system and the Remus X-Pipe sport exhaust system.

The exterior gets a set of 19-inch OZ Racing rims fitted with 245/265 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires. A special steering wheel designed for racing is available at the interior. Let’s watch the performance:

The windows got 5% tints while the windshield 15% and the headlight and taillight got smoked film for a better visual appearance. Vertini Henessy wheels with a size of 20-inch where used along with the Atlantis Blue Brembo Gran Turismo BBK brake calipers.
