Special colour for a special monster of a car.

monster has two meanings here, first its ugly(lol)

secundo becuase it is a monster on a track.

Actually there are more than one ringtaxi driver, but maybe you are thinking about Sabine Schmitz.

i hope BMW would be generous enough to give them a new M5 to replace their old ring taxi's :)

SilviaEvo 10-10-2004 07:40 PM

doesnt BMW already give tehm M5's to drive?

Yes, but that are old E39 M5's. Since there is a new E60 M5, they should begin delivering the new ones :mrgreen:
Besides, those Ring Taxi's need to be changed every 20.000 km. So since the E39 M5 isn't built anymore, this year there will certainly be a E60 M5 ring taxi.

Most likely the new taxi!

Oh ok, sorry about that ... yes, I was thinking about her, I saw her in the TG review of the Ring Taxi

MartijnGizmo 10-11-2004 04:44 PM

Also notice the location: "BMW M Testcenter Nürburgring"..... 8)

Cheers

FoxFour 10-12-2004 10:59 PM

Sabine and the other guys are going to put that poor little chassis through the cleaners. Yo, Ill Dottore, nice banner dude!

kramerman 10-13-2004 02:40 AM

umm.. do a google search?

one line reply is that it's a taxi for hire that will bring you round the ring (or nurburgring? spelling's off) for a fee. the car used is a bmw M5 and the 'famous' ring taxi is actually a woman by the name of sabine of which there are many video clips of her speeding round. she goes round the ring like a few times a day, almost every day for the year so she's the most well travelled on the ring or something.

for the rest.. go search.
