Must be the old BMW with the straight-cut gears video as he goes tearing through the much slower field.

Good find, haven't seen it in a couple years...

I want that sequential gearbox...

It sounds like he is downshifting when upshifting.

Straight cut gears... Although I think that's awefully loud even for a straight cut gearbox... Too much backlash???

Nice driving tho.

BMW 320 STW. It seemed so much faster and able to corner so much better than the other exotic looking cars. Was this all driver, or was the car at least as good if not very much better than the other cool looking machines? I don't know much about the 320 STW.

Cool...it looked like the only thing he couldn't catch was the Porsches? Everyone else look out for the 320!
