The ~7.50min times SPORTAUTO quoted are times they are told them, what they also says in this article "reached by different test drivers on both cars M3 and M4" the article in the sister magazine AMS from the same autor quotes the same.

At first ... this time has nothing to do with an SPORTAUTO "Supertest" time by HvS ... the Supertest of the M4 is in the next month magazine (june 16th), so it seems clear, that at the time of print of the maiy issue even the author doesn´t know the Supertest times.

The Supertest is harder than factory testdrives ... HvS has at every car he tests only two rounds at the NOS ... the first to get an feeling of the car and the second to reach the Supertest time ... this conditions are for all test cars the same. HvS is an very experienced and fast driver and holder of the NOS serial cars lap record, but because of the hard conditions it could the case that his time is slower than the time an good test driver could reach who make hundreds of Rounds on the NOS.

Also the BMW DTM drivers have tested the M3/M4 on the NOS ... so nobody really knows if the rumored ~7.50min were one of their times!?
