Here is Chris's accompanying blog entry from evo:

At the M3 GTS launch yesterday BMW also rolled-out a 1 Series M development hack. This caught us all slightly unawares, especially when they said they'd do a few passenger rides. So, in the true spirit of low-quality, gorilla video I did my best to capture something.
The car is very interesting and should help drag BMW M back towards its heartland. It's currently running a 135i motor with a re-map and different exhaust, so the sound was slightly disappointing. It felt quick though. expect around 340bhp from the production car Q1 2011.
Chassis wise it's a load of E92 M3 bits wedged underneath a set of wider wheel arches. It's a very interesting looking thing: it's almost square. The cambers give it that classic M-car look.

Here's the video. I only had one lap so tried to ask a few questions.
The driver mentions the Nring time being 8 minutes and 7? Not sure though cause it's not too clear... What do you guys think?
Anyways can't wait to see the final product next year.
