just given those numbers, i would say this car is in some very good company. The fact alone that it's hanging with the Porkers should be proof enough of it's capabilities. and only 3 seconds down on the M6...i likey

They should have at least pushed the driver to go faster than the RS4 
Let's see what M can do with a CSL version of the new 3er.

^ Iwant to see the facelifted 6 so bad!
E92 M3 will be faster round a track than the RS4, no doubt.
A CSL version would literaly kick ass! Even the e46 CSL is crazy fast, I don't want to think about E92 CSL.
p.s. poll/question: E46 M3 CSL fastest car with >360? I think so, any thoughts?

Motor Authority:
Due for introduction late next year, BMW’s 2009 model-year 7-series saloon has been spotted once again undergoing testing at Germany’s Nurburgring. More of an evolution of the current model rather than a complete redesign, the new 7 should feature a smoother more muscular look. Don’t be fooled by the bulky camo or the fake Bangle-butt boot lid, the next 7 will adopt styling influences from the smaller 3-series.
Most of the changes are taking place beneath the new sheet-metal. Noticeable changes will be a longer wheelbase and wider track, with a possible hybrid variant and more diesel versions including a possible twin-turbo V8 oil burner. Other new features will be an updated iDrive system and ZF’s new eight-speed automatic gearbox, as well as a host of new safety technology including camera and radar systems.
These latest shots, sourced from AutoGespot, reveal that we’re unlikely to see major styling influences from the Concept CS. Those lines will be reserved for an all new flagship four-door coupe that has been confirmed for production after 2010.

^ This car looks very different from the one spotted in Dubai. Unless this one is just a test mule, the 4-door car in Dubai may actually be the production version of the CS Concept, thus explaining the sloping roofline.
Anyway, here are 7-series renderings:

the article said the CS Concept was confirmed for post 2010 production, so the Dubai mule isn't that. They wouldn't be field testing that this soon. It more than likely was a preproduction 7 being tweaked and tuned to street conditions. Typically the 7 is launched in the spring, the calendar year prior to the model year, so my guess is about March/April this should land in show rooms.
Interesting speculation on the twin turbo power plant. I'm curious as to whether that's an inside leak or if they're just guessing based on the 335.
All i can say is that after the fiasco that was the first 2 years of the E65, the retards had better have nailed it on the F01.
