The stock time will not change significantly over the life of the model.... only small changes due to track conditions, ambient conditions, driver, and changes in tire compound if the original compound becomes unavailable.
This is a good point and furthermore it could be that BMW is not saying that the F8X is 15s faster than the 8:05 time. Same with the M5/M6 times comp. pkg or not. They are relative times to an unknown reference. It could be that on the same day with the same driver the F82 was 15s faster than an unknown time set that time for the E92 M3. That time could be 8:05 but it could also be 8:10 or 8:00 or just about any number...
