Maybe it's a Euro model name? It's a Leftie in the vid so could be like GT Turbo...

Was that the BMW engine that sounded like a fire engine

It looked like an M3 that as well, thought that would have more pull in a straight line. Didn't seem to be getting away at all.

The BMW M5 had a passenger load and was probably being driven "carefully"
The Subaru was all over it in the corners but they were closely matched on the straight with the BMW perhaps having the edge.

Sabine throws the Car about to gives her passengers a great "Ride" and maybe not thaking the fastest lines IMHO

And the GT (euro turbo IIRC) nearly went off at the "Foxhole" as i did ion my first lap

FWIW

I don't think it was sabine driving as being driven quickly but not over confidently

There was always 2 "Ring" taxis when I was there. I followed Sabine for a short while. Sabine was drifting it with lots of oversteer on every corner even with4 peeps in the Car

IMHO

The You Tube BMW is driven far more smoothly without tickling the brakes needlessly as happened in the previous video.
