IIRC Sport Auto ran an 8:03 in the F10 non comp.

There were rumors of a 7:55 with zero supporting evidence.

On Estoril, Max Ahme, responsible for the chassis development at BMW M GmbH, said: “With Competition Package, the M5 is 10 seconds faster on the Nordschleife (of the Nürburgring)” This would mean the lap time dropped from 7 minute 55 to 7: 45.

F13 M6 no Comp Pack 7:44 - BTG.

There are no recorded times known for F13 M6 Comp Package around the Ring. But one can guess it would be a solid 10 seconds faster than 7:44 BTG. Putting it at, at least 7:34 BTG, which would put it at around the same Ring times as the Audi R8 GT and Konigsegg CCX. Now that's a FAST BMW!
