Question e92 V10, why????

I just saw this scary video of a modified e92 V10. This is nuts, I would think that it would be dangerous to drive this vehicle.

Sorry, you're right the intro on the video incorrectly refers to e92, it is in fact an e90.

Why is it more dangerous than an M5 or M6 with the motor - car almost weighs as much, so it really isn't like putting it in an S2000 or something!

At the end of the video they said they'll be available to customers for the price of 168,000 euro. At today's exchange rate, that's $262,000! If I had that kind of money I think I'd buy myself an M6 for $100k and spend the other $160k on oh, I don't know, a house maybe?

But it sure does look like a neat car for all that.

It looks like it's a happy puppy .. zippy even.. why not?

I particularly like those new 3rd generation solid rubber performance run flats. Looking at the video, they should last much longer than the current OEM air/nitrogen filled versions we get as stock.
