It's supposedly been verified by the guys who made the movie.
The original video apparently had "Wittkopp.NET" in the corner. Google reveals the website hosting it is down, but this is the cache:

This video was created one afternoon by four friends with nothing better to do. We weren't trying to accomplish anything except to make a home movie that might make people laugh. We wanted to create a short video that surprised the audience at the end.
We had no idea that it would spark numerous debates about its authenticity. Quite a few people have weighed in with their opinion, some believing that it was completely fake, while others made interesting points regarding why they felt that it was real.
We loved reading all the comments, bad, good, and ugly. I can tell you that we did everything in one take, completely unscripted, with about ten minutes of planning. Alot is cut, especially near the end because we were laughing!

The fact that the guy with the camera keeps the camera in his hand when getting out to confront the BMW driver, or that he zooms the camera in on the handgun were big signs that it was fake.
